Fans will have a choice of 68 Power Four rosters, each built from 53‑man squads, giving them a deep pool of talent to select from. Among the standout names on the early rankings are four Syracuse Orange athletes who cracked the top 300: wide receivers Cole Weaver and Umari Hatcher, and quarterback Steve Angeli.
