No changes in the top five this week. Chase Brown has extended his lead over Blake Corum and should win this award has he performs better with a worse offensive line. Abandikana has been extremely impressive but will, unfortunately, fall short, and Mohamed Ibrahim deserves love for the season he is having after tearing his ACL last year.

Jalin Hyatt is the surefire favorite for this award and has put up crazy numbers this season. Jacob Cowing and Marvin Harrison Jr move up due to the addition of Xavier Hutchison to the top five as Ali Jennings enters the portal removing him from this list.

Georgia sophomore tight end Brock Bowers is a lock to be a 1st rounder in 2024.
Versatile chess piece who can be moved around, solid athlete who's a threat with the ball in his hands and reliable pass catcher at all three levels.
He's got a pretty complete profile. pic.twitter.com/9p6xHRGICm— Luca Sartirana (@SartiranaLuca) December 8, 2022

- Season Stats: 67 receptions, 809 yards (12.1 YPC), 9 TDs
The quintessential Michael Mayer play. Players pointing at him, surrounded by four, might as well be zero, the challenging defender bounces off of him as though he was trying to break up a pass intended for a grizzly bear. pic.twitter.com/xXAh4T8XQM

We have a new #1, and his name is Dalton Kincaid. The Utah TE has been a star all season long, and he takes over the number one spot. Brock Bowers slides in at second, and he could even be at #3 with Michael Mayer having better stats. #4 and #5 stay put, rounding out the Mackey Award top five.
