For interior offensive line prospects, Aidan Banfield (North Carolina) will be observed at Noon EST/11:00 a.m. CST on ESPN, while Alani Noa and Bradyn Joiner and Nate Babst (Florida State) will be evaluated at 3:00 p.m. EST/2:00 p.m. CST on NBC and 7:00 p.m. EST/6:00 p.m. CST on CW, respectively.
The edge rusher watchlist includes Paul Oyewale (TCU) at Noon EST/11:00 a.m. CST on ESPN, and Braylon Shelby, Kameryn Crawford, and Zuriah Fisher (USC) at 3:00 p.m. EST/2:00 p.m. CST on NBC. J'Mond Tapp (Memphis) will be watched at 10:00 p.m. EST/9:00 p.m. CST on FOX.
