Kentucky’s 6-0 start has helped shine a light on the Wildcats’ top pro prospects, most notably Josh Paschal. The senior defensive end is one of 15 players whose name came up when the On3 college football staff spoke to NFL scouts for its midseason report.
A Kentucky staffer told On3 going into the season that he expected Paschal to end up going in the top three rounds of the draft. That’s now looking increasingly possible. Paschal ranks fourth in the SEC with 7.5 tackles for loss. “There will be defensive line prospects with more ‘wow factor’ in this draft, but few are as dependable and productive on a weekly basis as Paschal,” Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy told On3 recently.
