Seven Up: Week 5 standouts who are set to see their draft stock soar

Welcome back in to another Seven Up! Week 5 is in the books and we have some massive 2026 NFL Draft risers to talk about.

The College Football season is flying by. We have already cleared five weeks of football as we enter October, with plenty of players seeing their 2026 NFL Draft stock rise.

As I’ve done every week, we dive back into another Seven Up where I identify seven players from this past week who saw their stock tick in the right direction based on their performance. Now in Week 5, we are getting some big-time conference matchups to evaluate as well. This also means there is more tape to watch (hence Seven Up not dropping until Thursday this week).

But we have gotten through it, and seven players have been cut up and written up. This week features a player who now makes the cut for a second time through the first five weeks, and that’s because it’s time to have a much bigger conversation about him.

So, let’s talk ball.
