Paglia: College Football Week Five Stock Report

Ryan Paglia highlights standout college football performances in his Week Five NFL draft stock report, emphasizing rising quarterback prospects. Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons claimed the top spot following a 340-yard, two-touchdown victory against Florida. Meanwhile, Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr strengthened his first-round credentials with a four-touchdown outing against North Carolina, and Virginia Tech's Ethan Grunkemeyer impressed despite Paglia predicting he will likely stay in school.

Paglia designates Penn State quarterback Rocco Becht as having declining draft stock following struggles against Northwestern. Among non-quarterbacks, Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith, Missouri running back Jamal Roberts, Missouri safety Kensley Louidor-Faustin, Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop, and Mississippi State receiver Anthony Evans III all earned praise from Paglia for dominant statistical performances.
