We’ve had some brand new stars emerge and half of the quarterbacks in the conference now look like major NFL prospects.
Let’s take a look at the top 12.
1. Jordan Addison, Wide Receiver, USC
He’s athletic, proven, and prolific, and he’s going to go off the board quickly—in a draft that lacks elite receivers, with a lot of teams in need of them.
2. Clark Phillips III, Cornerback, Utah
His lack of size will keep him from being the top corner in the draft but his play could easily make him the best in the nation, and a likely First-Round pick.
3. Tanner McKee, Quarterback, Stanford
The truth is he is big, has a big arm, and can move a bit, and that recipe has worked well lately for QBs coming into the NFL, even if they weren’t college stars.
4. Christian Gonzalez, Cornerback, Oregon
He’s got ideal size and athleticism and is getting serious First-Round buzz.
5. Zach Charbonnet, Running Back, UCLA
He’s shown his production, and his size and skill are making him one of the top backs in the draft.
6. Dalton Kincaid, Tight End, Utah
He could be the best tight end in America right now and exactly the kind of pass catcher the NFL is looking for at the position.
7. Noah Sewell, Linebacker, Oregon
I think he climbs right back up if he can bounce back in the second half of 2022.
8. Cam Ward, Quarterback, Washington State
He’s a pure playmaker who is getting major NFL attention and is getting mentioned as potentially going as high as in the Second Round now, maybe even the First.
9. Daiyan Henley, Linebacker, Washington State
He’s probably been the best linebacker in the Pac-12 this year and has generated a lot of NFL attention because of it.
10. Tuli Tuipulotu, Defensive End, USC
He can really rush the passer and hold up against the run, and that makes him a great NFL prospect.
11. Brandon Dorlus, Defensive Tackle, Oregon
He’s already pushed himself up into being a likely Second or Third-Round pick.
12. Andrew Vorhees, Guard, USC

Cam Rising, Quarterback, Utah
Bo Nix, Quarterback, Oregon
Michael Penix Jr., Quarterback, Washington
Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Quarterback, UCLA
Kyu Blu Kelly, Cornerback, Stanford
