UAB vs South Alabama features a handful 2021 NFL Draft players to watch
Week 4 is set to begin tonight as UAB vs South Alabama will get the week underway. Not only do we get this small school matchup to start the week, but SEC Football is set to begin this weekend as well, and in only a month the Big Ten will get set for their season’s start as well. Despite the small schools sizing up in this Thursday night matchup, there are still a handful of 2021 NFL Draft prospects to keep an eye on.
UAB enters the matchup against South Alabama with a record of 1-1 after winning their Week 1 matchup against Central Arkansas, then getting beat by ACC foe in the University of Miami. While this is not a Conference-USA matchup between these two schools, UAB will want to get back into the win column when they take the field tonight.
On the other side of the field, the University of South Alabama also enters the matchup with a record of 1-1. In Week 1, they were able to beat out Southern Mississippi by a score of 32-21, but then lost a nail-biter to Tulane with the score of 27-24 the following week. After a week off, the Jaguars will hope to look refreshed and re-energized in this matchup.
As these two teams take the field, who are some of the small number of 2021 NFL Draft prospects to keep an eye on? Here are three to watch.
