We are now three weeks deep into the college football season, as 2026 NFL Draft prospects everywhere are duking it out to prove to teams at the next level they’re worthy of hearing their names called.

Last week, I started a series called Seven Up where I identified seven players who I though raised their stock during Week 1. Well, we’re back doing the same thing here after Week 2. It was a relatively thin slate of games in terms of Power 4 vs. Power 4 schools, but I did my best to comb through as much action as possible.

So, which seven made the cut this week? We’ve got names to talk about, including two non-Power 4 players who are making a loud statement to NFL teams through two weeks.
