We have College Football back on Saturdays! 🏈
College football is back on Saturdays! Let’s crack open this box of 2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks.
I've enjoyed the FCS games the last couple days and especially the Idaho and Cal Poly game last night where Cal Poly won on a 34 yard touchdown pass with no time left.
Definitely picked the right pack to start the box off with. An autograph card of former Florida State Jermaine Johnson ll is in the pack who was drafted in the first round by the Jets during the 2022 draft. He was the first Florida State player to win ACC Defensive Player of the Year award.
Got another guy who was drafted in the first round of the 2025 draft by the Chargers Omarion Hampton from the University of North Carolina.
I asked for an Arch Manning card and got one! Love the Instant Impact card and how it has the Texas colors on it. Very cool!
Last two guys from the pack are Raheim Sanders from the University of South Carolina who’s now with the Browns in the NFL and Nicco Marchiol who is on West Virginia in the card but on Northwestern for the 2026 season coming up.
Enjoy the games today!
College football Saturdays have always been a highlight of the fall season, bringing fans together to enjoy the spirit and competition of NCAA teams. This season feels especially vibrant with the release of new trading cards like the 2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks, which give collectors an exciting way to connect with the sport beyond the games themselves. Unboxing these cards is a thrilling experience, especially when they feature standout players who have made significant impacts at the college level and beyond. For example, the autograph of Jermaine Johnson II captures a moment of glory, as he became the first Florida State player to win the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award before being picked by the Jets in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Seeing this card is like holding a piece of football history in your hands. Moreover, new talents like Omarion Hampton from the University of North Carolina, drafted in the 2025 first round, offer insights into the future stars of professional football. These draft picks are not only collectibles but also a way to track the trajectory of players from college to the NFL. The inclusion of cards like Arch Manning’s Instant Impact, with vibrant Texas colors, adds another level of excitement for collectors and fans alike. Arch’s legacy as part of the Manning quarterback dynasty makes this card special for those who appreciate football heritage. It's also fascinating to follow players like Raheim Sanders, who have transitioned from college teams like the University of South Carolina to NFL careers with teams such as the Browns, demonstrating the deep connection between college football and the professional league. With recent nail-biting games like the Idaho versus Cal Poly matchup decided by a last-second touchdown, college football continues to deliver unforgettable moments. The energy around FCS games and the wider NCAA landscape keeps fans engaged every weekend. As someone who enjoys both watching the games and collecting cards, I find that combining these hobbies enhances my appreciation for the sport. Each card tells a story, linking players’ college achievements to their professional potential. It’s a great way to deepen your fandom and even share this passion with friends or fellow collectors. If you’re a college football enthusiast or a trading card collector, now is the perfect time to dive into the latest releases, follow emerging stars, and enjoy every kickoff on Saturdays. The season’s just getting started, and there’s plenty to look forward to on and off the field!
