OVC

While there is not as much draftable talent as the league had last year there are some solid priority free agent and potential late rounders already on the radar.

Eastern Illinois

Mon_WilliamsEIU is possibly the top school as far as pro talent with RB #7 MON WILLIAMS (6013, 215) leading the charge as a solid late round or priority free agent type because of his body type, running style, and the fact he has been fairly productive.

The other prospect is P #41 KEVIN COOK (6010, 216) has been productive and shown a good leg but has not been very consistent and could speed up his get off time.

Jacksonville State

OT #77 CURT PORTER (6066, 316) has been a very good one for JSU boasting good size and decent feet but struggled against Florida State last year showing he is likely just a marginal draft pick or priority free agent because he did not handle himself very well against FBS competition.

They have a tall, long CB #15 T.J. HEATH (6004, 170) but he is stiff, slow, and only has one year of production.

Murray State

WR #17 MARCUS HARRIS (6011, 175) is a long linear kid with a thin frame who plays slower than his 40-yard dash time.  He has marginal production at receiver and his touchdown in the return game was a very easy one.  He purely lacks the skills to be more than a camp guy at this point.

Southeast Missouri State

SS #9 BRYAN BLANFORT (6001, 207) is on the radar because of his size and speed but he has marginal production and lacks the overall skills to make it.

Tennessee Martin

The only prospect is OLB #11 JOSH BEY (5113, 217) but despite his production he lacks the size and speed to get more than a tryout or contract.

Tennessee State

They have three potential prospects with their top prospect being WR #85 JOE HILLS (6037, 202) whose size and possession skills make him a solid free agent.

There are two marginal free agents in SS #1 EUGENE CLIFFORD (6005, 199) whose production warrants consideration along with his size, length, and speed.  ILB #98 SIDNEY TARVER (6032, 230) is a big kid who runs okay and had decent production but lacks the overall skills needed to play in the NFL at this point.
