There will be an awesome array of next-level talent on the field in Austin.
The Ohio State-Texas matchup on Saturday is generating significant buzz as it features a host of top prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft. Among the key players to watch are Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith and Texas quarterback Arch Manning. Smith, a 6-3, 223-pound prospect, is currently the top-ranked player on the 2027 NFL Draft Big Board, with 163 catches for 2,558 yards and 27 touchdowns in his junior season.
His performance has led to speculation that he could be the first receiver taken with the No. 1 pick since Keyshawn Johnson in 1996. Meanwhile, Arch Manning, a 6-4, 222-pound quarterback from Texas, remains a top prospect with a strong NFL quarterback bloodline. Manning opened the season with 305 passing yards and four touchdowns against Texas State, and their upcoming rematch will provide a clear picture of his development.
