No. 21 USC vs. No. 17 Washington: Top 2020 NFL Draft prospects to watch
Trey Adams, OT, Washington
Aside from Eason, Washington offensive tackle Trey Adams is the player who I am most excited to watch in this game. Adams has struggled with injuries throughout his college career, but he is back and healthy this season and honestly, he looks better than ever.
Despite tearing his ACL in 2017 and missing most of last season with a back injury, Adams looks quick on the field this season. He is moving around extremely well and is particularly shining in pass protection. His combination of size and athleticism makes Adams an extremely enticing prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft.
If he can continue to hold up, Adams could find his way into the first round. He is a risky prospect, but Adams undoubtedly has the upside to be a franchise left tackle at the next level.
Nick Harris, C, Washington
Washington’s Senior center Nick Harris is a fun offensive line prospect to watch. He is a mean and nasty dude in the middle of the offensive line who is always looking to embarrass his opponent. Harris is quick enough to get to his blocks and shows tremendous natural power at the point of attack. His hand placement and overall usage are strong and his finishing ability as a run blocker is tremendous.
Harris is an extremely aggressive player who is always looking for work. He moves his feet well in pass protection and understands who to block. His aggressiveness can work against him at times, but it is a plus in his game a huge majority of the time.
Harris is unlikely to ever turn into anything other than a mid-round selection, but he is still a fun player to watch. His toughness and power should make him a valuable offensive lineman at the next level.
