The 2025 NFL Draft Stock Report series continues with the Valero Alamo Bowl. Let me just set the stage before I start. BYU steamrolled Colorado 36-14 in a game that felt over two minutes in. It was also going on in the middle of the fantasy playoffs so I was also watching NFL at the same time. We’re not going to spend all day here considering the circumstances.
I’m not sure what there is to say beyond that. Not every game is going to have incredible meaning. It is what it is.
BYU
The quarterback absolutely sucks. Insane they won 11 games with Jake Retzlaff. That’s a true accomplishment because he blows.
Some Tyler Allgeier out of LJ Martin? He sure had some moments rushing for 93 yards and two scores on 17 attempts. Has two more years to go and should be a late round guy down the road. 6-foot-2, 225, hard to tackle with a burst. He just might be a thing. Lead the team in receiving yards somehow too.
Tyler Batty is a defensive lineman with something to him. Flashed a bit. Not a twitchy freak guy but could be a depth piece. A name to jot down for the pre-draft process.
Colorado
Let’s put Travis Hunter to the side. I’m not sure what I can say that I haven’t already. Turn the card in for Ohtani.
Not the best game for Shedeur Sanders. That’s obvious. They didn’t put up a single point in the first half. He still has his own issues. Still holds the ball way too long and some of it feels calculated so that he’s not making an incompletion. Still a lot of balls throwing it side ways. Finished the game 16/23 for 208 yards and two touchdowns / interceptions each. If the haters can cling onto anything, it’s the moments he does stuff like this. Guy refuses to get rid of the ball when that’s clearly the best play.
I don’t think it’s fair to panic here but it wasn’t exactly an ideal way to go out either. Given the name, the bias and fake rumor mill going to go insane here so let’s not light the fire early.
Credit to Shilo Sanders. I’m not exactly a fan but he went out on a high note. Led the team in tackles. Not afraid to get his nose dirty. Made a few plays on the ball. One of the better games I’ve seen from him and could have quit but didn’t.
