Six College Players the Seattle Seahawks Should Be Watching After Week 7

After a brief pause, I’m back digging through the Week 7 college football action, hunting for names that might one day wear the Seahawks' blue and green. It’s a little exercise in crystal‑balling, but the goal is simple: spot a few prospects who line up with Seattle’s likely roster gaps heading into the 2027 draft.

Sam Leavitt – LSU Quarterback

I’m not the biggest Leavitt fan, yet the kid’s been putting up numbers that turn heads. Two straight weeks he’s tossed more than 300 total yards and four touchdowns, most recently against Mississippi State. He lacks the flash of the top‑tier QBs, but as a day‑two or early day‑three gamble he could give Seattle a solid backup or even a surprise starter down the road.

DeSean Bishop – Tennessee Running Back

Never heard much buzz about Bishop until he helped the Vols rip apart Alabama’s defense for 175 yards from scrimmage and two rushing scores. That performance helped fuel a major upset, and it also put Bishop on the radar as a mid‑level prospect who can produce against elite competition.

Justin Scott – Miami Defensive Lineman

Scott isn’t a pure nose‑tackle, but Miami leans on him a lot in the middle and he’s been getting his hands dirty. In a surprisingly tight game, he logged eight tackles and a sack. It might be a stretch to spend a high pick on a pure interior lineman, yet if he can play both the nose and the edge, Seattle could find a versatile piece for its front seven.

Teitum Tuioti – Oregon Outside Linebacker

Oregon’s defense has been a bright spot this season, and Tuioti is a big reason why. Against Nebraska he produced five tackles, two sacks and a half‑tackle for loss, plus five pressures. His size and run‑stopping instincts scream “Mike Macdonald’s type of guy,” making him a candidate for Seattle’s rebuilding defensive front.

Chris Cole – Georgia Linebacker/Edge Rusher

Cole wears a lot of hats – off‑ball linebacker, edge rusher, coverage guy – and last week he dominated: ten tackles, a sack, seven QB pressures, and held opposing receivers to a single eight‑yard catch. If Seattle is hunting for the next Micah Parsons, Cole deserves a serious look.

Amare Ferrell – Indiana Safety

Ferrell gave his all against Ohio State, racking up seven tackles, two interceptions, two pass break‑ups, and allowing just one seven‑yard completion. Even though the Hoosiers fell short, his play against a top‑ranked offense shows the kind of ball‑hawking ability Seattle could use in the secondary.

That’s the six players worth keeping on your radar. None are guaranteed to end up in Seattle, but each checks a box the Seahawks might be trying to fill as the 2027 draft approaches.
