DD Tuesday Morning: North Practice:
Sun was shining, and favorable weather continued for this morning's practice at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
San Jose State defensive end #94 Justin Cole replaced injured Wisconsin defensive end O'Brien Schofield on the roster. Cole spent more time working with the linebackers then with the ends.
Offense:
Central Washington quarterback #13 Dan Lefevour threw a catchable ball and was the most effective of the North signal callers.
Wayne State running back #25 Joique Bell hit the hole with authority and had several long gains. Bell is raising his profile.
Oregon running back #9 Legarrette Blount ran tough and often delivered the blow to the defenders.
Virginia running back #31 Rashawn Jackson was active in blitz pickup and ready to hit.
Clemson wide receiver #8 Jacoby Ford had an excellent diving catch and was a popular target. Ford and Cincinnati wide receiver #1 Marty Gilyard worked at punt returner.
Wisconsin tight end #89 Garrett Graham and Oregon tight end #83 Ed Dickson were reliable targets with good hands and yard after catch ability.
Idaho guard #77 Mike Iupati dominated opposing pass rushers and had at least 2 pancake blocks. Showed rare foot speed and can recover if off balance.
Arizona State guard #67 Shawn Lauvao displayed top technique: good hands, feet and base. Less than ideal size but a player.
Defense:
Arkansas State defensive end #96 Alex Carrington impressed in the Pit, with bull and swim moves. Carrington has a rare size speed combo and teams have noticed.
Michigan defensive end #55 Brandon Graham put on a clinic; makes rushing the passer look easy.
Murray State defensive end #97 Austen Lane showed a quick first step and was often able to penetrate upfield.
Cal defensive end #44 Tyson Alualu was smart, saavy and had a high motor. Like Graham, he can also make plays despite less than ideal height.
Penn State defensive tackle #91 Jared Odrick had an up-and-down session. Odrick can blow up the play one down, and be on the ground the next.
Washington linebacker #9 Donald Butler was aggressive and quick; He penetrated on running downs and covered well on backs and tight ends. TCU linebacker #41 Daryl Washington was also sticky in coverage.
Due to inconsistant quarterback play, it was difficult to scout the wide receivers and defensive backs. Still, Rutgers cornerback #21 Devin McCourty and Boise State #1 Kyle Wilson got in and out of breaks well. McCourty had a nice deflection in drills.

Murray State defensive end Austen Lane made a Senior Bowl diary entry.
