Milton began the 2023 season as Tennessee's starting quarterback. He threw for 383 yards and four touchdowns, as well as two rushing touchdowns, in a 48-24 victory over Vanderbilt to cap the regular season, the most touchdowns by a Vols player since 2009.

2. Sedick Van Pran, OL, Georgia
A two-time national champion with Georgia, Sedrick Van Pran was named First-team All-SEC last season while also winning the Jacobs Blocking Trophy.
He is a very durable center who does a good job working under and inside defenders to create lift before using torque to get them off-balance. He is also a great leader with an elite mentality.
1. Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
Rattler threw for a career-high 3,186 yards and 19 touchdowns in the 2023 college football season. The quarterback seems to have overcome the setbacks of his Oklahoma days.
He is considered to be the best quarterback available in the pool for draft day 3. No quarterback was drafted on Day 2 and as such, Rattler is most likely to be the first QB off the board on the third day.
