Free agents.

is there any buzz about Paul Cornick?

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

is there any buzz about Paul Cornick?

He might go in the late rounds. Good size and athletic. He had a great year. I thought he might get a combine invite.

I would be shocked if didn't get drafted. What are the possible knocks on him by scouts?

Late bloomer who didn't have a big year until 2011. Good enough athlete but not super athletic. Not great at anything but solid all around. Raw but has tools.

[lakesbison]

Im gonna predict Cornick and Veldman get drafted in last couple rounds.

DJ & Boyer get camp invites.

The two safeties from SC State(Richard,Thompson) look like second day draft picks and the Jets and Giants need help at that position and too bad LeGree was a transfer(Syracuse) instead of a four-yr player at Hampton would have increased his draft status.He at 6-4 230 has definite NFL size to play QB and arm strength to go along with it.I think the two safeties were invited to post season bowl games.

[Skjellyfetti]

He played 4 years and took a redshirt year. It just seems like forever because he played in the Michigan game and then was redshirted.

Was just REALLY wierd to see him in the Michigan game, then in the 2009 playoff game in Missoula to only be a sophomore...dude just was one of those players who seemed to be around for-EVER.

He's been around so long that our offensive coaching brain trust forgot he was still on the team.

DE Mike Ebbitt - TXST

Scouts took a liking to him when they were down scouting DJ Hall.
Has been in 1 post season all star game
probably Free Agent.

It's a guessing game

[HenZoneNation]

Some the guys on the AGS board said Quick was struggling, but with that dude's physical abilities I can't see how he'd go highre than what Barden went. Of course with what Barden has accomplished, that might hurt him. I'd love to see Quick on the Gmen.

The big difference in Quick and Barden is that scouts believe Quick will run high 4.4s while Barden ran high 4.5s. I think Quick goes 3rd if he runs 4.58 or so but if he runs a 4.48 he is going in the 2nd round.

[JohnStOnge]

Jantzen Jackson has declared for the draft after spending one season as a Tennessee transfer at McNeese. I assume he must think he's got a shot to be drafted.

He does. He has been invited to the NFL Scouting Combine so apparently some NFL teams do too.

He like Thompson(SC State) was kicked off the squad at Tennessee.

[houndawg]

OLs Boemer and Pickard from SIU?

I assume FS McElroys ankle left him too slow?

Tryouts at best right now. SIU was down this year. Jewel Hampton is the best prospect and I have him as a free agent.

Will the Rimington help Boemer get a look?

[CatMom]

Joe Greene was the Pittsburgh Scout at our Pro Day (1 of 11 teams repped) and he liked what he saw of DJ Hall.

Would hate to see Pittsburgh take him but I won't begrudge wherever he goes.

Got lucky this year. Scheduled same days as UT so the Scouts went there in the morning and drove the 28 miles to TXST for the afternoon.

[Tribe4SF]

SmallCollegeFBFan,

Any word on Jake Trantin's stock? He showed well in the two all-star games, but had a so-so proday.

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

Trantin ran slow at pro day. Free agent at best. He won't get drafted.

[dal4018]

SmallCollegeFBFan have you heard anything new about Christian Thompson of SC State lately?Also are the any names that are under the radar that are getting any attention that you know of?
