Week 11 in the college football calendar presents an incredibly appetizing slate of matchups to help us sort through the quarterback prospects. There are various must-watch contests on the schedule, including Indiana-Penn State, Oregon-Iowa, Vanderbilt-Auburn, and LSU-Alabama. With NFL scouts in attendance around the nation, this will be an intriguing weekend in the 2026 NFL Draft process.
Our Draft Network 100 rankings recently received a timely update. Several prospects possess opportunities for "resume games" against legitimate opposition in Week 11. With an eye pointed toward the action, we've identified five prospects who can raise their draft stock this weekend.
Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU
Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson possesses another opportunity to continue gaining steam towards contending for No. 1 overall pick status against LSU. On the other side, Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier is attempting to rehabilitate his stock after failing to meet expectations earlier this season. It's the most intriguing QB matchup of the weekend.
The game is littered with interesting storylines. LSU interim head coach Frank Wilson will make his debut after the team dismissed head coach Brian Kelly. Perhaps it'll provide Nussmeier with the jolt he needs.
Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State
Though Alabama's Simpson is gaining ground, Indiana's Fernando Mendoza remains the overall favorite to be QB1. Mendoza has another opportunity against Penn State to establish himself as the favorite to be a New York Jet or New Orleans Saint next season. Chasing him around will be Nittany Lions EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton.
Dennis-Sutton hasn't recorded a sack since Penn State's second game of the season. The athletic pass rusher has fallen out of first-round conversations. A standout performance versus Mendoza and the high-scoring Hoosiers would help Dennis-Sutton get back on track.
Dante Moore, QB, Oregon
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is closest to the Mendoza-Simpson discussion. Moore had a resume game versus Penn State earlier this season, throwing three touchdowns in a thrilling double-overtime win. He then stumbled against Indiana, throwing for under 200 yards and two interceptions in a loss.
Moore's narrative could trend back in the appropriate direction versus Iowa this weekend. The Ducks are touchdown favorites. The Hawkeyes have a stout defense, headlined by defensive tackle Aaron Graves. At his best, Moore is a dynamic mobile quarterback with a quick arm-action release.
KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M
Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion has five touchdowns in his previous four games. He scored twice against Mississippi State, and once apiece versus Arkansas and LSU. The No. 3-ranked Aggies are a perfect 8-0 and scouts have taken notice of Concepcion's form.
The Aggies play No. 22 Missouri this weekend. The Tigers have a pair of exciting pass rushers in Damon Wilson II and Zion Young, who will attempt to disrupt A&M's offensive game plan. Concepcion will attempt to keep his red-hot streak going.
Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn
Auburn defensive end Keldric Faulk has been outperformed this season by fellow pass-rushing prospects Rueben Bain Jr. and Arvell Reese. Faulk entered the campaign as a potential top-five pick. While the traits remain incredibly exciting, the production hasn't matched in 2025.
Faulk hasn't registered a sack since September. The Tigers are a mess and they enter Saturday's contest versus Vanderbilt as touchdown underdogs. Faulk needs to help an underperforming defense limit Diego Pavia and Vanderbilt's high-flying offense.
