PFF recently put together a list of the top 50 players in college football for the upcoming season.
Colorado’s Travis Hunter tops the list, followed by Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II. Michigan’s Mason Graham and Will Johnson are the next two on the list in that order. LSU tackle Will Campbell rounds out the top 5.
Kentucky defensive tackle Deone Walker comes in at No. 11 on the list, describing him as “an alien sent to Earth to terrorize SEC backfields.”
Here is an excerpt about Walker:

11. DI Deone Walker, Kentucky
Walker is an alien sent to Earth to terrorize SEC backfields. He’s 6-foot-6 and 348 pounds and revealed in a recent PFF interview that he aims to run in the “high 4.6s” in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. For reference, the record for an interior defensive lineman is 4.67 seconds by Calijah Kancey, who is nearly 70 pounds lighter than Walker.
Most defensive tackles of Walker’s size are limited to being run-stuffers. While he earned an 81.7 PFF run-defense grade last year, Walker is also an incredibly productive pass-rusher. His 51 pressures in 2023 were the most by any interior defensive lineman in college football, while his eight sacks led the Power Five.
