Small-School Defensive Prospects To Watch
By Chris McPherson
http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/n...To-Watch/1ea6c383-793f-4654-9cca-b1fa56177640
Defensive End - Courtney Harris, North Alabama
"Harris was good enough as a senior that he was recruited by Florida, LSU, Georgia and Ohio State before he decided to attend the University of Miami. He spent a couple of years at UM before transferring to North Alabama when he didn't get medical clearance after sustaining shoulder and Achilles tendon injuries." Harris had 10 sacks and forced four fumbles as a senior. While he wasn't invited to the Scouting Combine, his proven pass-rush ability is going to be too good for at least one team to pass up.
Draft Digest's Top 10 Non-BCS Players
1. OL Ben Ijalana, Villanova
2. DT Kendrick Ellis, Hampton
3. G Will Rackley, Lehigh
4. RB Taiwan Jones, Eastern Washington
5. QB Pat Devlin, Delaware
6. WR Cecil Shorts III, Mount Union
7. WR Edmund Gates, Abilene Christian
8. G David Arkin, Missouri State
9. DT Cedric Thornton, Southern Arkansas
10. CB Cortez Allen, The Citadel
Defensive Tackle - Cedric Thornton, Southern Arkansas
"Cedric Thornton arrived at Southern Arkansas in 2006 as a 210-pound inside linebacker and left as a dominating 300-pound defensive tackle. Thornton was particularly impressive as a junior when he led the team with 80 tackles, including 23 for loss and 8.5 sacks." Expect Thornton to be a fourth-round selection, according to Draft Digest.
