The quarterfinal round of the College Football Playoffs begin on Tuesday night with the Penn State Nittany Lions taking on the Boise State Broncos in the Fiesta Bowl.
Seeing as though there are two top teams being pitted against each other, New Orleans Saints fans might be interested in watching it to find some top-end talent for the 2025 NFL draft.
During the last Nittany Lions playoff game, pass rusher Adbul Carter was highlighted as the first round player. This time around, Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty will be under the spotlight.
Jeanty has 344 carries for 2,497 yards and 29 touchdowns this season. A running back duo of him and Alvin Kamara would instantly be one of the best in the league and has the potential to carry the offense forward while the rest of the pieces fall in place.
A mid-round prospect to keep an eye on is Penn State linebacker Kobe King. King has developed into a consistent and solid defender and could be a perfect add to a defense that is both aging and losing players to free agency. He is a well-rounded linebacker, but is mostly known for run defense.
Closing things out as a late-round prospect is Nittany Lions defensive lineman Zane Durant. Durant has had the most productive campaign of his career with 38 tackles and 10 for a loss with three sacks, His high ceiling against both the run and the pass makes him intriguing.
