The 2026 Class Has Arrived, a new RBB toolkit and Introducing CFF Rankings
Late June means soaking in summer at the beach, taking the kids to the park or hanging out on the back patio with the dog. It also means it is grind season. This is the time of the year where I really start getting into summer scouting-a perfect time to send the first Rookie Big Board newsletter.
Cade Klubnik is the Best Value in the 2025 Class
Coming off the 2024 NFL Draft, I was desperate to watch some exciting quarterback play. I have logged 5 tape grades into the new-look 2026 Rookie Big Board so far for the 2025 class. Here's what you need to know:
- The LaNorris Sellers hype is legitimate. He has elite athleticism and the mechanical platform to develop into a high-level passer.
- Arch Manning did not show us much in 2.5 starts for Texas last season but his ability to lead receivers at all three levels, including deep, is enticing.
- Garrett Nussmeier has a rocket arm and more mobility than I expected. In his summer scouting article, I compare him to Jordan Love and Pat Mahomes.
- Drew Allar starts at the bottom of the top tier, but he is in the tier. His arm talent, mechanics and accuracy through the mid-field is encouraging. His tape grade is dragged down by poor decision making.
- Cade Klubnik is flying way too far under the radar. His mechanics, pocket presence and accuracy are NFL caliber. He will enter the NFL Draft process with 3 years of starting experience and likely having lead his Clemson team to back to back College Football Playoff runs.
Cade Klubnik in the 2026 Scouting Notebook
Every 2026 prospect will get a full breakdown in the 2026 Scouting Notebook, which is available to all RBB Royal patrons.
Get Ready for your College Fantasy Football Drafts!
July kicks off the main CFF draft season. The RBB has you covered at a whole new level this year, whether you are a returning CFF veteran or want to make this the year you finally give it a try!
2025 CFF Rankings are Live!
Every 2026 prospect will get a full breakdown in the 2026 Scouting Notebook, which is available to all RBB Royal patrons.
This is the first time the RBB has published consensus rankings for all college fantasy football players. John Laub and I rank our top 250 players!
We also have published 4 videos ranking all of the Power 4 players. You can check out our quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. Keep an eye out for a sleepers video soon.
These rankings are designed to provide general CFF support, with a focus on the new Scott Fish Bowl Tadpole Bowl and 2025 Underdog CFF contests. I am expecting (hoping) the latter of the two will drop this week.
This week at the Rookie Big Board
It might be vacation time for many, but Rookie Big Board patrons should expect a busy week from me! Here is what is coming your way:
- More summer scouting reports! I am going to focus on getting into a talented set of wide receivers this week. You can see updates on the 2026 Rookie Big Board itself and in the scouting notebook.
- 2025 Seasonal Projections. This time of year provides a chance to dig further into scheme projections and make adjustments for smaller transactions that may have happened over the last few weeks.
- LaNorris Sellers breakdown article. I have a lot of thoughts about the potential QB1 in the 2026 (or 2027) draft.
This is just my must get to list. I have a few more projects in the queue, so let's see what I can send your way.
