3 NFL Prospects To Watch In The Duluth Trading Cure Bowl (UTSA vs. Troy): Zakhari Franklin, De'Corian Clark, Carlton Martial

It's bowl season! If you haven't watched much college football this year, this is your last chance to see all these teams. And if you're an NFL fan, it's a chance to watch some players who could end up playing on Sunday, either next year or in the future.

Today we're looking at the Duluth Trading Cure Bowl, which pits 11-2 UTSA from Conference USA against 11-2 Troy from the Sun Belt.

Below you'll find the top NFL prospects playing in the Duluth Trading Cure Bowl, which will be playing 12/16/2022 at 3:00 p.m. ET. And remember: in a landscape where top players sit out bowls more than ever, there's always a chance that a player mentioned doesn't play.

Zakhari Franklin - WR - UTSA

All eyes should be on the UTSA offense in this one. While quarterback Frank Harris is the engine of the Roadrunners' offense, he's probably doesn't have an NFL future, but he's the kind of fun college quarterback who you should watch any chance you get. And who knows—maybe we'll see him playing professionally somewhere, someday.

If you want NFL prospects though, look at his receivers. Three of them could play on Sundays. We'll highlight two of them, starting with Zakhari Franklin.

Franklin has been dominant over the past two seasons, posting back-to-back years with over 1,000 receiving yards. He's caught 26 touchdowns in that span. The 6-1 wideout should be on NFL teams' radars.

 

De'Corian Clark - WR - UTSA

While Clark's expected to return to UTSA, he should be a popular name in the 2024 NFL Draft class.

While Clark was third on the team in receptions this year (behind Franklin and another talented player with a potential future in the NFL, Joshua Cephus), he also missed four games. His 14.5 yards per reception led the team's main trio, and he found the end zone eight times.

 

Carlton Martial - LB - Troy

While you're keeping your eyes on the UTSA offense, take a glance over at one of the key defenders on Troy's defense: Carlton Martial.

If there's one thing Martial can do, it's tackle people, to the point where Martial's 564 tackles are the FBS career record. Second on the career list is Like Kuechly at 532.

Sure, Martial wasn't playing against elite competition each week, but an NFL team is going to have interest in someone with a strong track record of making plays defensively.
