Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting. UConn receiver Skyler Bell caught 101 passes. USC safety Bishop Fitzgerald had five interceptions; only six Football Bowl Subdivision players had more. All three were first-team All-Americans, and all three remain unselected through three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
Along with those three athletes, there are several decorated college football players who are still available as the draft arrives at its final day. Here are 20 well-known college football players still on the board as NFL teams prepare to select in Round 4.<\/p>\n
QB Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt<\/p>\n
Pavia is undersized and possesses the shortest arms of any quarterback with a draftable grade. But he was the SEC\u2019s player of the year and the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. Pavia guided Vanderbilt to its first 10-win season, passed for 3,539 yards and 29 touchdowns and rushed for 862 yards and 10 scores. His brush with college stardom drew maturity questions, of course, but Pavia is a baller.<\/p>\n
QB Taylen Green, Arkansas<\/p>\n
Green, one of the draft\u2019s most gifted athletes, started 46 games over his time at Boise State and Arkansas. He threw for 9,662 yards and 59 touchdowns over four seasons as a starter, while also rushing for 2,403 yards and 35 scores. At the combine, Green ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds and posted a vertical of 43.5 inches. But he also has 35 career interceptions, which is why he\u2019s still available.<\/p>\n
QB Cade Klubnik, Clemson<\/p>\n
Klubnik started for three seasons at Clemson, finishing with 10,123 yards and 73 touchdowns. Like his team, which won the 2024 ACC championship, Klubnik had quite a dropoff from his junior season performance as Clemson finished 7-6.<\/p>\n
RB Emmett Johnson, Nebraska<\/p>\n
Few running backs did more for their team than Johnson, who generated 37.8 percent of the Huskers\u2019 total yards last year. An All-American and the Big Ten running back of the year, Johnson (5-10, 202) rushed for 1,451 yards and 12 scores despite every defense focused on stopping him. He also added 370 receiving yards and three more touchdowns.<\/p>\n
RB Kaytron Allen, Penn State<\/p>\n
The Nittany Lions\u2019 all-time rushing leader, Allen ran for 4,180 yards and 39 touchdowns over his four seasons in Happy Valley, surpassing 1,100 rushing yards in each of his last two seasons.<\/p>\n
RB Mike Washington, Arkansas<\/p>\n
Washington is a true grinder who began his career as a two-star recruit, then spent three seasons at Buffalo and one at New Mexico State before transferring to Arkansas. Last year, Washington started all 12 games for the Razorbacks and was named second-team All-SEC.<\/p>\n
WR Elijah Sarratt, Indiana<\/p>\n
Sarratt led the nation in touchdown catches with 15 and was as instrumental to Indiana\u2019s CFP title as any player sans quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Sarratt caught 65 passes for 830 yards and made numerous receptions with defenders draped over him. Over the last two seasons, he had 32 catches of 20-plus yards.<\/p>\n
WR Skyler Bell, UConn<\/p>\n
Bell played three seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to UConn in 2024. Last season, he earned consensus All-American honors after catching 101 passes for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
OT Travis Burke, Memphis<\/p>\n
Burke (6-8 \u00be, 325) played with three teams over five seasons and wrapped up his career as a first-team All-AAC selection at Memphis. He has 30 career starts at left tackle and 16 at right tackle.<\/p>\n
C Sam Hecht, Kansas State<\/p>\n
Hecht (6-4, 303) started his last 25 games at K-State and finished as the first-team All-Big 12 center. An important note for NFL teams: Hecht wasn\u2019t penalized last season.<\/p>\n
DT Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State<\/p>\n
Jackson (6-5 1\/2, 315) boasts nearly 35-inch arms and a massive 86-inch wingspan. He started 24 games the last two seasons for the Seminoles and has 12 career tackles for loss.<\/p>\n
Edge Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State<\/p>\n
Dennis-Sutton was as impactful as any player during the Nittany Lions\u2019 2024 CFP semifinal run. He finished with a total of 17 sacks and 25 tackles for loss the last two seasons. Dennis-Sutton definitely has the build to become a solid edge contributor.<\/p>\n
Edge Caden Curry, Ohio State<\/p>\n
Curry had to wait his turn behind the Buckeyes\u2019 talented defensive line ,and in 2025, he posted a breakout season, finishing with 11 sacks (second in the Big Ten) and 16.5 tackles for loss. He also blocked a punt.<\/p>\n
LB Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh<\/p>\n
Louis earned first-team All-American honors in 2024 with 101 tackles (15.5 for loss), seven sacks and four interceptions. His production slipped a bit in 2025, but he still was a second-team All-ACC selection.<\/p>\n
LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr, TCU<\/p>\n
In 2025, Elarms-Orr led the Big 12 in tackles with 130, including 11 for loss, and four sacks. He played three seasons at Cal before transferring to TCU in 2024.<\/p>\n
CB Chandler Rivers, Duke<\/p>\n
Rivers started 45 games at Duke and broke up 33 passes with seven interceptions during his career. He was a second-team All-American in 2024.<\/p>\n
CB Malik Muhammad, Texas<\/p>\n
Muhammad earned second-team All-SEC honors last season and finished with six passes defensed and two interceptions.<\/p>\n
S Bishop Fitzgerald, USC<\/p>\n
Fitzgerald collected consensus All-American honors after grabbing five interceptions in 10 games last year for the Trojans.<\/p>\n
KR Kaden Wetjen, Iowa<\/p>\n
Wetjen (5-9, 193) ranks first in Big Ten history in career punt return average (17.7), third in career kickoff return average (27.5) and second with six returns for touchdowns (four punts, two kickoffs).<\/p>\n
P Brett Thorson, Georgia<\/p>\n
Thorson (6-1, 237) won the Ray Guy Award as the nation\u2019s top punter and was a strong four-year performer for the Bulldogs. He averaged 45.5 yards per punt last year, with 23 parked inside the 20-yard line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting.
