2024 NFL Draft: Midseason College Football All-Prospect Team
www.pff.com/news/draft-2024-nfl-draft-midseason-college-football-all-prospect-team
OT: JOE ALT, NOTRE DAME
OT: TALIESE FUAGA, OREGON STATE
Honorable Mention: Patrick Paul (Houston), Javon Foster (Missouri)
Meet two of the highest-graded offensive tackles in the country this season.
One, Alt, was already nationally known. The 6-foot-8, 315-pound junior has an 88.6 overall grade with an 86.6 pass-blocking grade on true pass-blocking snaps. He has allowed just three pressures all season.
The other, Fuaga, feels like the most underrated player in the country. His 86.4 overall grade ranks fourth in the FBS, and his 90.1 run-blocking grade is the best among offensive tackles who have played at least 50 snaps. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound junior is a mauler and an eraser in the run game but is more than just a brute. His pass protection skills are also beyond his years.
OG: CHRISTIAN HAYNES, UCONN
OG: COOPER BEEBE, KANSAS STATE
Honorable Mention: Zak Zinter (Michigan), Clay Webb (Jacksonville State)
Haynes and Beebe were both NFL-caliber prospects going into the season and are making good on that scouting through Week 6. Haynes has the top overall grade among guards (88.8). Some believe his best position in the NFL might be at center, but for now, he’s dominating at guard. As for Beebe, his 87.4 overall grade — if maintained — marks the third straight season where he has topped 80.0. He has been the king of consistently good play at that position.
C: SEDRICK VAN PRAN, GEORGIA
Honorable Mention: Ireland Brown (Rutgers)
Van Pran gets the nod as the top center midway through the 2023 season. He was PFF’s top center going into the year, and his career-best 79.7 overall grade comes from consistent play across the board, buoyed by an 80.3 pass-blocking grade and a 75.4 run-blocking grade. The third-year starter's experience, leadership and consistency make him our top choice at center in this draft class.
