SCOUTING THE LEAGUE: SITUATIONAL SCOUTING
A major part of playing the game, managing the game, and scouting in modern football - is trying to stay one step ahead of everyone else. So how does it show up? Situational awareness.

NFL DRAFT WATCH: 2025 GAMEABOVE SPORTS BOWL
Central Michigan: Jordan Kwiatkowski, LB, Sr, 6010, 236, 4.70e — One of the best players you may have never heard of, Kwiatkowski has been a menace starring on weeknights in MAC action. The senior linebacker had plenty of opportunities to transfer up to a P4 program but remained loyal to the Chippewas and was rewarded by guiding the school to their first bowl game since 2023. Through 12 games this season, Kwiatkowski has totaled 109 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss (three sacks), five pass deflections, three interceptions (one pick-six for a touchdown) and three forced fumbles. With three more tackles, the two-year starter will reach 250 for his career. A projected late round pick, Kwiatkowski is a true gamer and ball-hawk who could provide value as a core special teamer and key backup at the next level.
