Todd McShay· Nov 4, 2026

While breaking down LSU's offense, McShay called receiver Jackson Harris a top-50 NFL draft prospect, and later said LSU's Sam Levitt and Alabama's Keelan Russell are potential top-10 picks in a future draft.

“You get next up, like, 2028, 2029, potential top 10 picks at Keelan Russell versus Sam Levitt.”
