Matt Corral continues to garner praise for his play this season. This time, it came via a comparison to two highly drafted NFL players.

According to an article by Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson are similar in different ways to Corral, who led the Rebels to a 27-14 win over Liberty on Saturday. That is good company for Corral and his financial future to be in.

Mayfield was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft when he was selected by the Cleveland Browns. Wilson was the second selection of the 2021 NFL Draft when he was picked by the New York Jets.

“With Corral, I see a player with similar setup and release quickness to Zach Wilson when he was coming out of BYU last season,” Zierlein wrote. “Corral’s gregarious on-field demeanor, talent for feathering in the deep ball and ability to command his offense is reminiscent of Baker Mayfield during his Oklahoma career.”

Those qualities will be on display again when Corral and the Rebels host Texas A&M on Saturday. Corral is a junior this season with one year of eligibility remaining. He could be a strong candidate to forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft.
