8. Jameson Williams, WR Alabama

Ohio State is loaded at wide receiver and that led Jameson Williams, a former top-100 recruit to enter the transfer portal. Soon after, he committed to Alabama, which was looking for a receiver with the speed to get deep.

"“They were very upfront, ‘We have receivers but we don’t have a guy that can run like Jameson’ if that makes sense,” Williams’ high school coach Brandon Gregory told AL.com. “Jameson’s a track runner. With the speed that he has and some of the things that they do, they just think they can find different ways to bring his talent out and then also stretch the field.”"

Williams caught a pass against Alabama in the national championship game and also caught in a touchdown pass against Clemson on a deep ball in the semifinal. He had 15 receptions total for 266 yards last season and he appears to have found the perfect role at Alabama.

7. Ty Chandler, RB North Carolina

Chandler was a productive player at Tennessee and averaged 4.9 yards per attempt on 421-career carries. He’s never been the bell-cow so we’ll see how that goes but after North Carolina lost its top two backs to the draft, a sure thing was needed.

With an elite quarterback by his side, Chandler should excel especially with all the different things he can do as a runner and receiver.

This list is about fit as much as any and Chandler is a really good fit with North Carolina.
