Sports Stars of Tomorrow 2022 NFL Draft Preview: Possible First Round Picks

Kayvon Thibodeaux, the top-rated prospect from the 2019 class, became a dominant force at Oregon after starring at Oaks Christian School in Southern California. At 6-foot-5 and 258 pounds, his combination of athleticism and technique made him one of the premier edge rushers in the draft class.

Alongside Thibodeaux, cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. from LSU and safety Daxton Hill from Michigan also earned first-round projections after being featured during their high school careers. All three players demonstrated the elite traits that translated from prep stardom to NFL readiness.
