“MHJ” is an American football wide receiver who had an amazing collegiate career in just three seasons with The Ohio State Buckeyes. But the latest season will probably go down in history with the Bucks. He is arguably the greatest receiver in Ohio State history. In the 2023 season, he had 67 receptions, 1,211 total yards and 14 touchdowns. Many people thought of him as unstoppable.

Michael Penix Jr.

Michael Penix Jr. is one of the most mysterious prospects for this draft due to the fact that he was a transfer student to the Washington Huskies. In two seasons with the Huskies, he had a total of 9,544 yards. In the 2023 season, he had 36 touchdowns and led the Huskies to the National Championship against the Michigan Wolverines. After the loss, Penix, Jr declared for the NFL Draft. Recently, there have been speculations that several teams could move up in the draft to try to draft Penix.

J.J. McCarthy

J.J. McCarthy played college football at the University of Michigan and led the Wolverines to three consecutive Big Ten Conference titles. In his senior year, he led the Wolverines to the National Championship title. There have been speculations that teams might move up to attain him as their pick. As a quarterback prospect, he has the ability to throw the ball smoothly to potential receivers. In the 2023 season McCarthy, he had 2,991 yards and 22 touchdowns. He might double that when he gets drafted, depending on the team (and coach).
