Auburn has been sidelined through the first two days of the 90th NFL Draft. Before the event concludes on Saturday, the Tigers should be in the game as part of a surge of players from Alabama high schools and colleges.

The NFL Draft resumes at 11 a.m. CDT Saturday with the first pick of the fourth round, which will be followed by the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds until the 257th choice becomes this year’s Mr. Irrelevant at around 6 p.m.

NFL teams have chosen 102 players – 32 in the first round, 32 in the second round and 38 in the third round – and have 155 selections to make on Saturday.

The Auburn players who could hear their names called on Saturday include:

• Running back Jarquez Hunter
• Linebacker Eugene Asante
• Wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith
• Linebacker Jalen McLeod

Other prospects from Alabama high schools and colleges who seem the most likely to be picked on Saturday include:

• Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond (Alabama)
• Kansas cornerback Cobee Bryant (Hillcrest-Evergreen)
• Alabama tight end CJ Dippre
• Florida outside linebacker Shemar James (Faith Academy)
• Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson (Pinson Valley, Troy)
• Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard (Fairhope)
• Ohio State center Seth McLaughlin (Alabama)
• UCF cornerback Mac McWilliams (UAB)
• Alabama safety Malachi Moore (Hewitt-Trussville)
• Ole Miss defensive tackle JJ Pegues (Auburn)
• Alabama outside linebacker Que Robinson (Jackson-Olin)
• Alabama defensive tackle Tim Smith
• Jacksonville State guard Clay Webb (Oxford)
• Alabama A&M offensive tackle Carson Vinson

Any of those selections on Saturday will join the roster of prospects who played at Alabama high schools and colleges chosen in this year’s draft. So far, that list includes:

With 37 players, the SEC leads all conferences in selections through three rounds. But there’s more where that came from as the conference takes aim at its single-draft record of producing 65 selections, set in 2022 and equaled in 2023. The SEC’s top remaining prospects also include:

• Arkansas: Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong
• Florida: Defensive tackle Cam Jackson, wide receiver Elijah Badger, wide receiver Chime Dike, running back Montrell Johnson Jr.
• Georgia: Linebacker Smael Monday Jr., wide receiver Dominic Lovett, defensive tackle Warren Brinson, defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, running back Trevor Etienne, defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse, guard Xavier Truss
• Kentucky: Defensive tackle Deone Walker
• LSU: Defensive end Bradyn Swinson, guard Miles Frazier, cornerback Zy Alexander
• Missouri: Offensive tackle Marcus Bryant
• Oklahoma: Safety Billy Bowman Jr., linebacker Danny Stutsman
• Ole Miss: Linebacker Chris Paul Jr., outside linebacker Jared Ivey
• South Carolina: Defensive end Kyle Kennard, running back Raheim Sanders, defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway
• Tennessee: Running back Dylan Sampson, wide receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr., wide receiver Bru McCoy, defensive tackle Elijah Simmons
• Texas: Outside linebacker Barryn Sorrell, quarterback Quinn Ewers, offensive tackle Cameron Williams, tight end Gunnar Helm, running back Jaydon Blue, center Jake Majors

The list of other players who were projected to have been picked by now starts with quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was seen early in the draft process as the potential No. 1 selection. He remains available, as do Ohio State pass-rusher Jacks Sawyer, Indiana defensive lineman CJ West, Kansas offensive tackle Logan Brown, Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals, Purdue offensive tackle Marcus Mbow, Western Michigan cornerback Bilhal Kone and Florida State defensive lineman Joshua Farmer.

Saturday’s selections will be televised by ABC, ESPN and NFL Network.
