College Football Top 150 Players of 2024: Household names crowd top 10 in final rankings of season

The awards have been given out. The All-America teams votes have been tallied. The transfer portal has been poppin’ and the NFL Draft declaration wire has been busy, too. 

On College Football Playoff Eve, there’s only one thing left to do: Unveil my final ranking of the top 150 players in college football for the 2024 season.

Jeanty had one of the most impressive seasons by a ball-carrier in recent memory, rushing for nearly 2,500 yards and 29 touchdowns while dominating almost every rushing statistic.
