Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, University of Notre Dame

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is the youngest player on this list. Owusu-Koramoah is entering the draft as a sophomore from Notre Dame. He was one of the top linebackers in the ACC last year for the Fighting Irish.

During his two years in Notre Dame, Owusu-Koramoah totaled 142 tackles, that’s not even the impressive part. Out of those 142 tackles, 24.5 of them were for a loss. Owusu-Kormoah has the instincts to get behind the line and make open-field tackles.

On top of that, Owusu-Koramoah adds 7.0 sacks, one interception, seven passes defended, five forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries. Those are pretty talented stats for a sophomore. However, this is the biggest hope in this article.

Owusu-Koramoah is projected to be a mid to late first-round draft pick. There is a strong inclination that he might not even be there for the No. 28 pick that the Saints currently hold, but he would be among the best fits on the team.
