ESPN named Florida State cornerback Ja’Bril Rawls, Penn State defensive end Yvan Kemajou, Ohio State tight end Nate Roberts and Virginia Tech defensive end Aycen Stevens among 51 FBS sleeper candidates for 2026.
Rawls missed about half of last season because of injury but started seven games and was Florida State’s only defender with multiple games of 10 or more tackles. Kemajou remained at Penn State through the coaching change from James Franklin to Matt Campbell and capitalized on opportunities in the second half of last season.
