Matt Waldman’s running list of 2026 NFL Draft prospects who will appear in the April 1 RSP publication.
Each year, I like to list the players who will be in the Rookie Scouting Portfolio publication. If any of these players return to school, I will save them for the 2024 publication.
You can pre-order the 2026 RSP now
Learn more about the RSP here.
So far, I have studied 165 prospects. Those returning to school who are listed below will be in the 2027 RSP. The usual range of players in the RSP publication spans 150-175. I estimate the final total (once I exclude returning upperclassmen studied in 2026) will be between 165 players.
Players in bold are scheduled to be in the RSP and likely be there, but no guarantees.
