COLLEGE GRIDIRON SHOWCASE DRAFT RISERS (DEFENSE EDITION)
Welcome to the February 5, 2026 edition of the All Access Football Newsletter.
All Access Football has been combing the country on a mission to find the premier talent along the all-star game trails. Yesterday, we highlighted nine offensive players from the College Gridiron Showcase who boosted their draft stock.
In today’s report, we examine six more prospects from the defensive side of the ball who were sure to turn heads based on our travels to Fort Worth, Texas, where pro teams were well-represented from the NFL, CFL and UFL. In total, approximately 150 players were in attendance for the 2026 College Gridiron Showcase.
Amongst the players below that you will learn about include an interior Jayhawks defender who flies to the football, a Wildcats run-stuffer with a cat-like first step, a pair of LSU prospects who have been overlooked up to this point, a Mean Green corner with bad intentions and more. (Photo: CGS)
Our player evaluations come courtesy of NFL Draft Bible scout Will Donoghue, who will be in attendance at the NFL Scouting Combine and is ready to contribute to any organization. For pro or college personnel interested, please feel free to contact us.
