Didn't see it posted anywhere else but Dane Brugler is my go-to for draft stuff and came out with his Preseason Top 50 Prospects:

8. *Spencer Rattler, QB, Oklahoma (6-0, 209)
Based on natural ability, Rattler is a prime candidate to jump up this list over the next few months. He has impressive arm talent with his ability to deliver accurately from any platform. He will occasionally get reckless with the football and needs to be more consistent working through things, but Rattler has impressive field instincts for a rising redshirt sophomore with only 11 career starts.

24. *Nik Bonitto, Edge, Oklahoma (6-3, 238)
A stand-up edge rusher for the Sooners, Bonitto has an electric first step and takes sharp pass rush angles to the pocket. He needs to be more controlled and calculated in his attack, but he has the forward lean, physical hands and contact balance to shed blocks and pursue the football. Bonitto has some tweener traits, but his disruptive nature has the attention of NFL teams.

37. *Brian Asamoah, LB, Oklahoma (6-1, 230)
Oklahoma is better known for its offensive firepower, but each year they have a few impressive prospects on defense. Asamoah had a breakout season in 2020 as a first-year starter, leading the team in tackles and grabbing the attention of NFL scouts. He is a balanced zone dropper in coverage and does a great job mirroring and coming to balance as a tackler.

Derek Stingley Jr was the Number One overall Prospect (makes sense). Sam Howell was QB1 (doesn't make sense) at Number 6 overall.
