2024 NFL Draft: The top 2 prospects from every SEC football team.
From the Senior Bowl to the Hula Bowl, college football’s all-star games are in the books. Super Bowl LVIII’s completion ended the 2023-24 NFL season, and now all eyes turn to the draft April 25-27 in Detroit. Earlier this week at 247Sports, I updated my Mock 2.0 to stretch into the second round and span the top 60 picks. Dialing in the pre-draft process a bit more, I’m going through college football’s four power conferences — the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC — with a look at each league’s top two 2024 prospects.
Starting with the SEC, which has largely led the way in NFL Draft production over the years, there are first-round studs and Day 2 value picks throughout the 16 programs (which now includes Oklahoma and Texas)
Kentucky Baseball opened the 2024 season with an 11-5 victory over USC Upstate at Cleveland S. Harley Baseball Park in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Friday in game one of a three-game series against the Spartans.
With the win, UK improved to 5-3 in season openers under eighth-year head coach Nick Mingione.
After USC Upstate’s Noah Sullivan and Kentucky’s Travis Smith exchanged perfect first innings on the mound, both offenses came alive in the second.
Kentucky rallied for four runs in the top half of the frame as designated hitter Reuben Church, left fielder Nolan McCarthy and third basemen Nick Lopez hit RBI doubles, and true freshman centerfielder Griffin Cameron hit an RBI infield single. However, the Spartans answered back in the bottom half as David Pereira hit a two-run single to cut the Wildcat lead in half at 4-2.
The Wildcats would extend its lead in the top of the fifth as first basemen Ryan Nicholson looped an RBI single into no man’s land, and Emilien Pitre worked a bases-loaded walk to make it 6-2 and chase Sullivan out of the game. Later in the inning, working against reliever Jagger Jefferis, who inherited a bases-loaded nobody-out jam, shortstop Grant Smith ripped a two-run single, extending the UK lead to 8-2.
