Wills was a five-star prospect and top-50 overall recruit in the 2017 class, expected to play early in his career with Alabama. The 2016 first-team all-state pick from Lexington, Kentucky, contributed in 11 games in his first season with the Tide, with one start when the team came out in a six-man line against Ole Miss. Wills was competing against veteran Matt Womack at right tackle in 2018 fall practice when Womack went down to injury. That allowed Wills to start all 15 games that sophomore campaign without looking over his shoulder. His game improved from sturdy to dominant in 2019, and he gained second-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-SEC accolades while starting all 13 games on the year at his right tackle spot.

Jamal Adams, LaRon Landry, Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Reid -- what do these NFL starting safeties have in common? They're all former LSU Tigers. Delpit is the next in line to head to the professional ranks. He does not shrink from the comparisons, requesting to wear the No. 7 jersey previously worn by Mathieu, cornerback Patrick Peterson and running back Leonard Fournette. In 2017, Delpit played like the four-star recruit that he was out of IMG Academy (he played three years at Lamar High School in Houston), starting 10 of 13 games played as a true freshman (60 tackles, 3.5 for loss, one interception, eight pass breakups). He became a household name in 2018, when he was the ninth player in LSU history to be named a unanimous first-team All-American and first-team All-SEC selection with 74 tackles (9.5 for loss, five sacks), a conference-high five interceptions and nine pass breakups. Delpit's reputation helped him win the Jim Thorpe Award as well as second-team Associated Press All-American and first-team all-conference honors in 2019. He posted 65 tackles, 4.5 for loss, two sacks, two interceptions and seven pass breakups in 14 starts for the national champs. Delpit's family was displaced by Hurricane Katrina when he was 6 years old, moving to Texas but keeping their New Orleans Saints season tickets.

Elliott is from Missouri City, Texas, making it quite a coincidence that he decided to transfer from Austin to Columbia after his freshman season. The top-100 national recruit from Westside High School played in six games as a reserve with the Longhorns in 2016 (eight tackles, 1.5 for loss), missing six games due to an MCL injury. He said he was not happy wearing burnt orange, however, so he joined his former Texas defensive line coach (Brick Haley) at Mizzou. Elliott redshirted the 2017 season, earning the team's Defensive Scout Player of the Year award. He then became a playmaker in his sophomore campaign despite not starting (24 tackles, eight for loss, three sacks in 13 games). Elliott's junior campaign was what people expected, as he garnered second-team Associated Press All-American honors after leading his team with 10 tackles for loss (including three sacks) among his 44 total stops in 12 starts.

Phillips took over a leadership role for the Tigers' inside linebacker group from Devin White as a junior and helped his team win a national title. He started all 15 games in the middle in 2019, leading the squad with 113 tackles (7.5 for loss). Phillips started 11 of 12 games played next to White in 2018, posting 87 tackles, 5.5 for loss, one interception (that he returned for a touchdown), and three pass breakups. The Nashville native and top-50 overall prospect nationally contributed in 12 games as a reserve (18 tackles) his true freshman season.

Bryant was not recruited as highly as he should have been because he moved from offensive tackle to a pass-catcher as a senior (39 receptions, 608 yards, 15.6 average, 10 touchdowns) and also was named the 2015 Baldwin County (Georgia) Defensive Player of the Year. He played in 12 games his first year in Boca Raton, landing on the Conference USA All-Freshman team (six receptions, 63 yards, 10.5 average). Bryant attacked the ball as a sophomore, bringing in 32 passes for 408 yards (12.8 per) and five scores in 11 games (10 starts) to earn second-team all-conference honors. His production increased again as a junior (45 receptions, 662 yards, 14.7 per, four touchdowns), allowing him to become a first-team All-C-USA pick. Bryant not only repeated his first-team all-conference selection in 2019, he earned first-team Associated Press All-American honors and won the John Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end. He led all tight ends nationally with 65 receptions for 1,004 yards (15.4 per) while scoring seven times in 12 starts. Bryant was fighting an illness leading up to the team's bowl game and decided not to participate to get ready for the draft.

Though Harris was considered a top-15 center prospect nationally, Washington was the only FBS school to offer him a scholarship. He played for former USC and NFL offensive lineman Pat Harlow, which should have been a good sign to schools looking for a solid interior starter. Harris made an impact as a true freshman, starting four games (two at left guard, two at right guard) for the Huskies. He was an honorable mention All-Pac-12 pick in 2017, starting all 13 games at right guard. His coaches moved him to the pivot for his junior season, and he wound up starting all 13 games and garnering first-team all-conference honors for his efforts. Harris was a first-team pick his senior campaign, as well, starting 12 games.

Peoples-Jones became an all-conference all-purpose threat for the Wolverines in 2018, garnering third-team All-Big Ten honors as a receiver (47 receptions, 612 yards, 13.0 average, eight touchdowns in 13 games, seven starts) and punt returner (25 returns, 250 yards, 10.0 average, one touchdown). He had already established himself in those roles while earning Freshman All-American accolades as a nine-game starter in 2017 (22 receptions, 277 yards, 12.6 average; 40 punt returns, 320 yards, 8.0 average, one touchdown in 13 appearances). Peoples-Jones struggled with an injury early in his junior year, but he eventually started nine of 11 games played (34 receptions, 438 yards, 12.9 average, six touchdowns; 24 punt returns, 173 yards, 7.2 average) in his final year in Ann Arbor. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh convinced Peoples-Jones to stay in Michigan after he won the state's Gatorade Player of the Year award and All-American honors as a senior at Detroit's Cass Tech. He was also the all-city 100-meter dash champion and had a 3.9 grade-point average in high school.
