Week 1 – Which College Players Are Future Vikings 2026?

Week 1 of college football has begun, and while many teams face lighter opponents, a few standouts have been identified for their potential future roles with the Minnesota Vikings.

The matchup between Clemson and LSU is expected to be a cupcake game for LSU, who will face strong competition from the Tigers. In addition to the usual monitoring, attention will be directed towards key positions for the Vikings in the upcoming year.

The Missouri team's games on Thursday, September 3, and Friday, September 4, feature standout players who could impact the Vikings' roster. UAPB's Cayden Green, a talented offensive tackle at 6'5" and 324 pounds, will join Missouri as an incoming senior. Missouri's Ahmad Hardy, a running back from 5'9" and 210 pounds, will join Missouri as a junior. Missouri's Brett Norfleet, a tight end from 6'5" and 263 pounds, will also join Missouri as a junior.

Moving on to Saturday, September 5, East Carolina faces Alabama, while North Texas takes on Indiana. Key players to watch include Alabama's Zabien Brown, a cornerback at 6'0" and 192 pounds, and North Texas' Charlie Becker, a wide receiver at 6'3" and 209 pounds. These players could potentially be part of the Vikings' future plans.
