2026 All-Forno Team: Introducing 2026 NFL Draft’s best players from first-round studs to hidden gems
The fifth annual All-Forno team highlights Tyler Forness’ favorite players in the 2026 NFL Draft class.
The 2026 NFL Draft is almost here, and there are a lot of talented players in the class. When scouting the NFL Draft, you naturally gravitate toward certain prospects. The majority of people call them “my guys.” I give them a spot on the All Forno team.
The requirements are straightforward:
- Max of two first-round grades
- Max of two players per position
- Their film was a blast to watch and they are really good players

Captain: Ahmari Harvey, CB, Georgia Tech
There is no secret about how much I love watching Harvey play football. He is the captain of the All Forno team and my favorite player in the class. He might be slightly undersized, but he plays with all the dog in the world. His eyes are excellent in diagnosing route concepts and the running game in front of him. Harvey is aggressive against the run, and is violent with wide receivers in coverage.
It’s usually a concern for players to be a little bit smaller on the outside. However, Harvey’s toughness and willingness to scrap with whoever is on the opposite side will translate to the NFL level. Pair that with plus ball skills and he can be a contributor early and often.
Treydan Stukes, S, Arizona
Stukes is one of my favorite players in the class. He is a versatile player who has played all over the formation for the Wildcats. He is a sixth-year player who was playing well in 2024 before tearing his ACL after just four games. Stukes came back with a vengeance in 2025, thriving in the slot. He was a wide cornerback for the majority of his snaps in 2022 before kicking inside to the slot.
When watching Stukes, his movement skills are top-notch. He flips his hips with ease and can run with anyone. Stukes also has some of the best ball skills in the class, attacking it at its highest point with aggressiveness and consistency. He might be 24 entering the NFL, but his versatile skill set, that level of football IQ will be a huge plus to whoever drafts him.
D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana
The entire country got exposed to Ponds during the magical season with the Indiana Hoosiers. He was the best defensive player on an excellent unit, and he did so in a compact package.
Measuring in at under 5-9 and 182 pounds, Ponds is one of the smallest players in the class. Even so, you’d never notice how small he is. Ponds jumped out of the gym at the NFL Scouting Combine at 43.5″, which sets him apart from other players in the class. He consistently went up against top competition, including playing really well against the likes of Carnell Tate and Denzel Boston. He’s going to be a menace in press coverage in the NFL.
Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri
Trotter is an odd player, but in a good way. His dad, Jeremiah, was one of the more feared players at the position in the 2000s. His massive size paired with the shoulder pads are a tremendous combination. While Josiah doesn’t have the same size, nor shoulder pads, he’s got a ferocity in the same way.
What has Trotter on this list for me is his explosive nature. He attacks downhill in a massive way, and hits with violent intentions. Trotter is an explosive athlete in a linear fashion, and that’s excellent when blitzing, especially with his ability to dip underneath blockers.
Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington
I am not high on this running back class as a whole. After the top three, I don’t see guys who will be the 1a in a rotation. Within that top three, Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price are both long-term starters, and I see that with Coleman as well.
He rocks in multiple facets of playing the position. Coleman has an odd body type, weighing 229 pounds at 5-9, but it helps him be a slasher. He thrives in zone concepts where he can stick his foot in the ground and explode forward. The burst is plenty good, but the long speed isn’t, which is fine. Coleman also offers positives in the run game, both from a pass blocking and catching perspective. He’s the one running back outside of the top-50 that I really like.
Kaleb Proctor, DT, SE Louisiana
This class is fascinating in multiple ways, especially on the defensive line. There isn’t the amount of talent that we are used to seeing. There are a couple of interesting players on day two that offer a lot of intrigue, and my favorite of them is Proctor.
The third FCS player to make the All-Forno team, Proctor is an explosive gap shooter on the interior. He pairs powerful hands with a quick get-off, allowing him to get penetration quickly on the quarterback. Don’t let the fact that he played at the FCS level fool you; he dominated the LSU Tigers this past season.
