Mike Renner· Feb 18, 2026

Renner names five favorites, calling Reuben Bain Jr. the best non-quarterback in the class, Caden Proctor a top-five prospect and potentially the best OT in the class, Omar Cooper Jr. a possible first-rounder, Jadarian Price a second-round pick and the class's second-best running back, and Josiah Trotter a top-50 selection.

“I'm saying I think he's the best non quarterback in this draft.”
