Risers

Andrew Gallik/C/Boston College: Saturday afternoon on twitter I noted Gallik as a player to watch and felt the match-up against USC would be critical. And though he did not face off against Leonard Williams all that often, Gallik looked impressive handling the Trojans other next level prospect on the defensive line, Antwaun Woods. The senior center played smart, tough football helping Boston College pull off the upset victory. His blocking, both on the line of scrimmage as well as on the second level, was impressive and largely responsible for the 452-yards the Eagles gained on the ground. I believe Gallik is a better version of former Boston College center Tom Nalen, a seventh round pick of the Denver Broncos in 1994 who went on to enjoy multiple All-Pro performances during his 15 year NFL career. Gallik has moved near the top of the center list and will be a top 100 choice if he continues his impressive play this season.

Tayo Fabuluje/T/TCU: Fabuluje was the other offensive lineman I tweeted about on Saturday and the senior left tackle was dominant during the victory over Minnesota. He’s an impressive looking specimen and easily controls defenders at the point of attack. What stood out about his play was how Fabuluje adjusts or contorts then stops speed rushers as well as the way he knocks opponents from the action with violent hand punch. Fabuluje is a bit heavy footed and has some personality quirks teams must look into but when hitting on all cylinders he offers starting potential at the net level.

Dante Fowler Jr./DE-OLB/Florida: The Gators defeated Kentucky in a three overtime thriller and Fowler was the star of the Florida defense. His stats line read 6 tackles, 4 quarterback hurries, 2 tackles for loss as well as 1 sack and 1 forced fumble. On tape Fowler was omnipresent making plays behind the line of scrimmage, out to the sidelines in pursuit and displayed great explosion and suddenness. His hustle and ability to force the action was impressive as the junior was unstoppable. Will Fowler enter the draft? Sources tell me his parents are fully engaged in the process and it will be a wait and see proposition.

Eli Harold/DE-OLB/Virginia: Harold and the pressure he applied against Louisville helped Virginia snap their ACC winless streak which lasted almost two years. The junior pass rush specialist posted two sacks and a pair of tackles for loss.

Out west at Oregon State the buzz in the scouting community centers on a track athlete making his mark on the football field.Obum Gwacham, a high jumper with a personal best of just under 7-feet 2-inches is slowly blossoming into a terror on the defensive line. The former receiver moved to defensive end last spring and initially impressed scouts during April practice with his athleticism and pass rushing ability. He’s kept the momentum going in the early part of the season, most recently registering a pair of sacks during the Beavers victory over Hawaii.

Scouts love the upside Gawcham brings and if he continues to develop on the field they believe the former track star could end up as a second or third round pick in next year’s draft.

Intriguing guy, Pauline comparing him to Ziggy Ansah
