RIVALS CAMP SERIES: Info for 2022 series

*****

1. Jordan Davis, Georgia 

The 360-pounder is lower on some lists because he can’t play a ton of snaps but tops on mine as he reminds of Vita Vea.

*****

2. DeMarvin Leal, Texas A&M

Lea is slipping out of the first round for many but his scheme versatility is there and I don’t see as much film regression as others.

*****  

3. Devonte Wyatt, Georgia

Wyatt made himself a lot of money this season and especially down the stretch as one of the more active tackles in this draft.

*****  

4. Perrion Winfrey, Oklahoma

Winfrey's motor and work ethic are off the charts and he’s a chaser. He can make plays anywhere.

*****  

5. Travis Jones, UConn 

Jones is a massive zero technique who can take up a ton of blockers.

*****  

6. Logan Hall, Houston

Hall's athleticism can sneak up on you and he’s very quick off the snap.

*****  

7. Phidarian Mathis, Alabama

Alabama makes it hard on defensive linemen in practice with that great OL and Mathis has been tested.

*****  

8. Zachary Carter, Florida

Despite a dysfunctional season for the Gators, Carter’s stock remains high.

*****  

9. Travon Walker, Georgia 

Walker is another UGA interior lineman on this list. This speaks to how well each did in the Bulldogs' rotation.

*****  

10. Boye Mafe, Minnesota

Mafe is a recent favorite of scouts who works well of contact and makes some splash plays.
