    CBS Sports recently ranked the Top 25 players in college football for the 2024 season and two Tigers have made the list, with one of them inside the top 10.

    The two Tigers who have made the cut for CBS Sports are Will Campbell and Harold Perkins Jr.. Campbell is listed as the top offensive tackle prospect in next season’s NFL draft. He has started two seasons in a row and has earned the coveted No. 7 patch on his uniform.

    Perkins burst onto the scene as a sack machine as a freshman in Baton Rouge. With a new defensive coordinator, I believe his production will tick back up in 2024.

    Here is what they had to say about Campbell,

    “The top offensive tackle in the country, Campbell has excellent technique as a pass protector and does a nice job getting to the proper spot in protection with square shoulders. Campbell is generally a two-hand puncher, which can lead to problems if done exclusively, but generally stones his opponents and has excellent feet to recover if he slightly gets beat. He has strong hands and grip strength and if he’s able to get them on defenders, it’s over.”

    Here is what they had to say about Perkins,

    ”Perkins is one of the nation’s most dynamic players. LSU misused him most of last season and it cost the defensive staff their jobs. It was a wasted year playing in the box for somebody who should be wreaking havoc on the edge. This is a contract year for somebody who draws Micah Parsons comps.” – CBS

    Campbell was the No. 6 player on the list and Perkins was the No. 16 player on the list.
