2026 Watchlisters On The Right Trajectory

As many players as we have ranked, we have a good portion that we are waiting to see what they do so we can properly evaluate and rank them. After doing a bit of research, I came up with a few guys on the Watch List that are heading towards being ranked before too long!    Allen is really putting in the weight room work, as his X/Twitter shows he is now up to 215. This is an awesome trajectory if he can continue to make hay in that department. He has made the slide to EDGE/OLB, and it suits him nicely. Technically, he's very sound. He flies off the ball, has some long arms that keep blockers out of his chest, and he does a nice job of staying home and making plays as they come to him. Allen is well on his way to getting ranked, and probably fairly high!     Dominic is a big and physical lineman who is on a great trajectory so far. He comes off the ball pretty well, and absolutely paves a path in the run game. Sometimes he can get ahead of himself and get off balance, but when he does stay balanced, he delivers some devastating hits. I think if he continues to work on the details of his game, with his size and aggression he could have an extremely high ceiling.       I had a blast watching the Hudl of [player_tooltip player_id='551269' first='Carter' last='Hladki']. He's a classic old school styled linebacker who can come downhill and lay the hammer. He has the athleticism to get sideline to sideline if need be, and he always takes good angles. He does a nice job of fighting through blocks and getting through the traffic to make tackles. Carter is going to be a problem for offenses once again this fall, and I definitely think he's doing all the right things to become a very interesting prospect!     Krystian is catching my eye a ton heading into this fall. He's an aggressive kid who is in a great system to be developed. In the run game, he fires off the ball low and fast, initiates contact and keeps his legs chopping as he drives back his assignment. He's in a great conference to be going against great competition weekly, which will only help him in his development. I'm very optimistic on where he's heading!     I've been able to watch Ben a few times now, and I always come away feeling even better about him than the last time. He's a smart and athletic QB who can make good reads and deliver consistent balls, and he can improvise when things get messy. His throwing motion is nice, he has clear poise in the pocket and doesn't bail too early, always keeping his eyes downfield. Ben has continued to impress me time after time, and he's on a fantastic trajectory to start raking in some D2 and D3 very soon.
