NFL Draft Big Board: Top 100 Prospects, High School Edition

There is something about a “can’t miss” prospect in sports that is hard to move on from. Somewhere deep inside them that ability to dominate always exists. They’ve shown it. It earned them five stars from recruiting services and national attention before they went to their high school prom. But after a few years of college things change.

For some players that next step is where they confirm all the hype. They live up to, or even exceed the lofty expectations placed upon them. Others are not as fortunate. For a variety of reasons, these players lose some of their luster as they are removed from their teenage years.

In some cases, these players may have simply been overrated. But for others, things could have been derailed by many issues. School work, injury, coaching, expectations, social media, and family pressure are just a few of the obstacles these athletes have to overcome. So while everyone might love a story like Rudy, no NFL team is considering Rudy on draft day. But those blue-chip prospects that didn’t quite work out as planned? They will receive a very long look.

And with that, here is the 2024 NFL Draft Top 100 prospects. There is only one catch. The rankings here are based on their high school consensus grade. There will be players who were lightly recruited who will go Round 1 at the actual draft (Florida State’s Jared Verse). But this list is to find sleepers with untapped potential who may wind up as the steal of the draft. Only players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine are eligible.

Top 10

1-Eyabi Okie-Anoma, DE (Charlotte)

Three things from Charlotte’s win over ECU:
-That was a big win/recruiting win for the 49ers
-Mike Hill was fired up; him & Biff Poggi shared a moment after the game
-Eyabi Okie-Anoma & Stone Handy are becoming a serious edge duo. Watch Handy here. Who does this remind you of?🌪️ pic.twitter.com/84j4KIvzo7

Will this Big Board of Top 100 NFL Draft prospects stack up to the actual board here, or rankings of others headed into the draft? Nobody will know that answer for a few years. But people should not ignore Eyabi Okie-Anoma or these other players who once showed why they were deemed destined for greatness. They may still have it in them.
