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: Significantly stronger than prep competition, and plays like it. Big hitter. Powers through blockers and ball-carriers alike while attacking downhill. Takes good angles in pursuit. Lacks plan as pass-rusher, even with hand in dirt. Solid awareness in coverage.

Polish: Plays low, with consistent base. Sound tackler whether lowering shoulder or shooting low. Needs to add to pass-rush toolbox. Doesn’t have the cleanest footwork in coverage.

Bottom Line: Lovett is an aggressive, physical linebacker with impressive play strength who thrives against the run. Needs to monitor quickness, flexibility as he continues adding weight at next level. Potential starter for Mizzou down the line, though ceiling is somewhat limited by athletic profile.
