Jeremiah Smith Early Scouting Report, wide receiver, Ohio State, 2027 NFL Draft Prospect
There are many great offensive players in college football this season who also have a chance to be a top pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Here are ten of the best offensive NFL Draft prospects at the beginning of the 2026 college football season.
Top Ten Best Offensive NFL Draft Prospects in the 2027 NFL Draft
10. TE Trey’Dez Green, LSU
Green is an athletic tight end who has tremendous size for the position and great speed and movement skills. He also has a good catch radius and is great in contested catch situations. Green needs to improve as a blocker, but he has the upside to be a very productive tight end in the NFL.
9. WR Charlie Becker, Indiana
Becker has elite big-play ability, leading the Big Ten with 20.0 yards per reception in 2025. He is also an elite contested-catch wide receiver who has great body control and very reliable hands with zero drops last season. Most of Becker’s production came late in the 2025 season, and he needs to improve his ability in the short and intermediate parts of the field, but Becker has a ton of upside, and with a productive season in 2026, he has a chance to be one of the first receivers selected in the 2027 NFL Draft.

8. TE Jamari Johnson, Oregon
Johnson is a versatile tight end who has good size for the position, along with great movement skills and change of direction ability. He has good run-after-the-catch ability as well, and had great production in the second half of the season for Oregon in 2025. Johnson has just one season of great production, but with a full season of consistent production in a bigger role in 2026, Johnson has the talent to be the first tight end selected in the 2027 NFL Draft.
7. RB Jadan Baugh, Florida
Baugh is a physical runner with great size and play strength. He is a powerful runner who can consistently pick up extra yards after contact and break through arm tackles. Baugh also has incredible vision and patience as a runner, and he has solid speed and elusiveness at his size as well. He also takes good care of the football and is good in pass protection. Baugh still has room to improve in the passing game, but is a decent receiver out of the backfield as well, recording 33 receptions and two receiving touchdowns during the 2025 season.
6. OT Jordan Seaton, LSU
Seaton is arguably the best offensive tackle in pass protection in all of college football. He has great foot quickness and lateral agility along with good arm length and play strength. He will need to become more consistent as a run blocker, but with his athleticism and pass protection ability, Seaton is one of the best offensive tackle prospects in college football.
5. QB Arch Manning, Texas
Manning had a disappointing start to the 2025 season, but had a very strong finish to the season as well. He has prototypical size for the position at 6-foot-4 and 222 pounds. Manning has great athleticism and mobility for the position as well, and does a good job of extending plays and picking up yards on the ground. Manning has good arm talent and throws the ball with good anticipation. He needs to be a more consistent player in 2026 and improve his accuracy in the short area of the field, but he absolutely has the talent to be a top-tier quarterback prospect with a good season this year.

4. OT Trevor Goosby, Texas
Goosby has ideal size for the position at 6-foot-7 and 325 pounds with great arm length. He has great athletic ability and movement skills at his size as well. Goosby excels in both pass protection and as a run blocker, and in his first season as a full-time starter in 2025, he immediately stepped in and was one of the most consistent offensive linemen in the SEC.
3. QB Dante Moore, Oregon
Moore had a chance to be one of the top quarterbacks selected in the 2026 draft, but returned to Oregon for the 2026 season. He now has a chance to be the first quarterback selected in the 2027 NFL Draft with another great season. Moore currently has just one season of great production and needs to become more consistent under pressure, but also has good overall arm talent with a quick release and great deep ball accuracy. With another season of great production in 2026, Moore will have a chance to be the first quarterback selected in the 2027 NFL Draft.
2. WR Cam Coleman, Texas
Coleman has an elite combination of size and speed. He has great movement skills and change of direction ability at 6-foot-3 and 204 pounds, and is also a very good route runner. Coleman is one of the best contested catch receivers in college football, and has a great catch radius along with an elite vertical jump and body control. He will now play at Texas this season, and is in a good situation to potentially have his most productive season in 2026.
1. WR Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State
Smith is an all-around incredible wide receiver who may be one of the best wide receiver prospects in recent history. He has amazing speed and overall athletic ability. Smith also has elite ball skills with strong and reliable hands and very good contested catch ability as well. He is also one of the best route runners in college football. Smith has led the Big Ten in receiving yards in both of his first two seasons, and has also recorded 29 total touchdowns over the last two seasons as well, finishing the 2025 season as a first-team All-American and sixth place in Heisman voting.
