No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: “My ball” attitude. Natural ability to contort body at catch point. Dangerous ball-carrier, capable of making defenders miss and running through arm tackles. Solid vision in open field.

Polish: Catches everything. Varies release at LOS. Attacks entire field, but relies on size for separation more than nuance, refinement as route-runner. Willing, effective blocker in run game.

Bottom Line: Cannon looks like a Power-5 wideout right now, with impressive size and highly-advanced ball skills. Lack of explosive speed and quick-twitch athleticism limits long-term potential, but projects as highly-productive possession receiver.
