Look at these numbers and check out the video against Oregon 15 catches 246 yards and 3 TDs not sure if he comes out this year but he looks explosive.


Noticed him a few weeks ago while doing quick research on draft prospects, looks good

I hope he declares, had a big game against Washington Huskies last year, guy looks legit.

Marshaun Coprich, RB, Illinois State

Coprich is undersized a bit at 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, but his production is undeniable. A year ago, he rushed for 2,274 yards and 27 touchdowns in 15 games. This season, he rushed for 1,937 yards and 22 touchdowns in 12 games. He's a model of consistency and clearly knows how to run the football.

While unlikely to be taken as high as Johnson was a year ago, he's the top FCS running back option in 2016, and could surprise some people at the next level if given the opportunity.

A year ago, a running back was the highest FCS player drafted, being David Johnson in the third round.This year, a potentially equally talented man will try to replicate that success.

David Johnson was not the highest drafted FCS player. Jaquiski Tartt was (our 2nd rounder) and Ali Marpet a D3 player was drafted in the 2nd.

I'd definitely go after him in the 2nd or 3rd round. We are pretty well stocked at safety but I'd make home the next Thomas Davis, if he's already 230lbs what's another 5-10 lbs? He for sure looks like he has great instincts and just a downright playmaker.

The obvious one is NDSU's Carson Wentz, I also like his teammate Joe Haeg at Tackle.

Others Miles Kilebrew, Javon Hargrave, Ronald Blair, Connor Underwood, and Jamaal Jones just to name a few.

Carson Wentz is the guy we gotta get if Goff isnt there

This guy is no longer a sleeper after his performance at the East West Shrine game. Made a huge impression all week and in the game.

1st link the 1st play he misses a tackle and they run for 50+ hahahaha
6-2, 305, Senior Pojected: 2nd-3rd
NFL.com ~ The squatty Friend is one of the best centers in the nation. He is exceptionally strong -- 43 reps in the bench press at 225 pounds -- and also possesses surprising quickness -- 4.95 in the 40. Friend, who has started 33 consecutive games, was a high school wrestler in Pennsylvania and knows all about angles and leverage.

Not small school guys and not late rounders but guys I like a lot more than where I'm seeing them rated currently.
