Week Zero of the college football season provided us with an appetizer, and Week 1 will bring us the full entree of what should be an exciting week of games, which officially kick off the 2022 season.
This week in The Hunt Report, I wanted to give more of a focus on the offensive side of the ball, as six prospects to watch are offensive players. It is looking like a really strong crop of small-college receivers across all levels. What I’m seeing is a combination of excellent recruiting and development by college staffs, and student-athletes taking the opportunity to go to a program where they are going to get actual, time-on-task reps in games.
It is because of that we are seeing a boom of developed, polished and excellent small-college talent as a result. If you’re a growing league like the USFL and XFL, that’s what you really love to see, as that is going to be the talent pipeline in which you can cultivate, grow and build something that’s sustainable, while also being the place for the next wave of pro football stars.

WR Kyle Sweet (Barcelona Dragons)
- Age: 26
- Height: 5’11
- Weight: 185
- School: Washington State
Sweet currently leads the ELF in most receiving categories: receptions (108), yards (1,484) and touchdowns (16). From a technical perspective, it’s his route-running, ability to understand leverage and how to leverage defenders, which gets him open constantly out on the field. He’s the go-to guy in the passing game, no matter where they are on the field. Sweet is someone who can be a nice plug-and-play guy in the States. Next game: Sept. 3 vs. Hamburg

CB Ayo Ajayi
- College: Wilfrid Laurier
- Year: Fourth year
- Height: 5’11
- Weight: 185
The Canadian USports prospect comes from a strong program that has developed some high quality defensive back prospects. What immediately jumps out at you on film is the marrying between his instincts and reaction. Ajayi does a phenomenal job of trusting what he sees out there on the field and subsequently making a beeline to get there. I’m a big fan of his ability in zone, and you can see that’s where he could ultimately thrive as a slot defender. Because of his quick first step, he is also very effective coming off of the short corner on a blitz. Next game: Sept. 3 vs. Western
