Welcome to our weekly breakdown of college football players to watch for the Philadelphia Eagles in the upcoming NFL Draft. As we dive into the action each week, we’ll highlight five standout players who could potentially find a home with the Eagles in the near future.
Nazir Stackhouse, DT, Georgia (6’3, 320): (14) Clemson at (1) Georgia, 12:00 p.m.
Despite the presence of star Georgia defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter on the Eagles’ roster, Nazir Stackhouse stands out as a potentially solid addition to the team. With an impressive ability to stuff the run as a 1-tech defensive tackle, Stackhouse may lack the same level of athleticism as his counterparts, but he brings a valuable skill set to the table.

Knockbacks routinely against single blocks (SEC centers – good luck!)… but he can be a brick vs doubles too, and has range/redirect with that 320lb frame. Impressive player… pic.twitter.com/lpnKCNroAn

While Stackhouse’s stats may not jump off the page, his ability to anchor the defensive line makes him a compelling prospect for the Eagles. With a projected first-round grade by some analysts, Stackhouse could be a valuable addition to the team’s roster.
Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia (6’5, 245): (14) Clemson at (1) Georgia, 12:00 p.m.
As Georgia’s premier tight end in 2024 following the departures of Darnell Washington and Brock Bowers, Oscar Delp brings speed, versatility, and playmaking ability to the position. With Dallas Goedert reaching the later stages of his career, a Day 2 selection at tight end could be in the cards for the Eagles.
Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson (6’1, 230): (14) Georgia at (1) Clemson, 12:00 p.m.
Barrett Carter’s versatility as a linebacker/slot corner hybrid with exceptional cover skills and blitzing ability makes him a standout prospect to watch. With impressive stats in previous seasons, Carter could be a first-round target for teams in need of a dynamic defensive playmaker.
Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia (6’6, 317): (8) Penn State at West Virginia, 12:00 p.m.
West Virginia’s Wyatt Milum brings a gritty, aggressive style of play to the offensive line with solid run-blocking and pass protection skills. As a potential Day 2 selection, Milum could be a future replacement for veteran Lane Johnson on the Eagles’ roster.
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State (6’3, 252): (8) Penn State at West Virginia, 12:00 p.m.
Transitioning from a linebacker to an edge rusher, Abdul Carter’s explosive playmaking abilities and versatility on defense make him an intriguing prospect for the Eagles. With a well-rounded skill set and impressive stats, Carter could be a first-round target for teams seeking a dynamic edge defender.
