So check out the latest information on Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, USC wide receiver Damian Williams, and more than a dozen other players who hope to be selected during this year's NFL Draft:
Lots of people started jumping to conclusions on Thursday when it was reported that Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen would be visiting the Washington Commanders on Friday and Saturday, but I've learned that Texas quarterback Colt McCoy recently accepted an invitation to visit the Commanders this Monday and Tuesday, just two days after Clausen leaves town. So don't start buying those Clausen jerseys just yet, Commanders fans. The trip kicks off a busy month for the underrated quarterback out of Texas. He'll be working out for the St. Louis Rams on April 8, followed by visits with the Buffalo Bills on April 11-12, the Cleveland Browns on the 12th and 13th, and the Rams on the 13th and 14th.

The 6-foot-3, 314-pound defensive tackle has been asked to make an official visit or conduct a private workout for the Browns, Saints, Lions, Vikings and the Rams. He's also drawing serious interest from the Bills, Chargers, Jaguars and the Patriots. The 39-game starter logged 105 tackles during his career, including 24 tackles for a loss.

Stanford running back Toby Gerhart has three more visits lined up. On April 6-7 he'll be in Philadelphia to meet with the Eagles. And then on April 12-13 he'll fly out to visit with the Denver Broncos before heading back to the east coast on April 13-14 for a visit with the Baltimore Ravens. The bruising 6-foot-tall, 231-pound rusher visited with the Chargers on Thursday and will workout for the Broncos on April 9.
Texas A&M center Kevin Matthews, son of Hall of Fame offensive lineman Bruce Matthews, will visit the Vikings next week. He'll also work out for the Houston Texans at their local pro day for area prospects.
Texas safety Earl Thomas has added a visit with the San Diego Chargers on April 13-14, and that could be the final stop on his whirlwind tour of NFL cities over the next two weeks. The projected first-round pick is currently in Cincinnati meeting with the Bengals. Next week he's scheduled to visit the Browns, Dolphins, Titans and Steelers. And then he'll head to Jacksonville to meet with the Jaguars on April 11-12 before flying out to visit the Kansas City Chiefs on April 12-13.
UNLV wide receiver Ryan Wolfe visited with Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith and the team's general manager, Thomas Dimitroff. The four-year starter, who finished finished 12th in college football history with 283 receptions, lined up former UCLA starting quarterback Ben Olson to throw to him at his pro day. Olson had a broken foot last year that kept him out of the league, but he's now 100-percent healthy and has a number of connections with former UCLA coaches around the league, including Raiders head coach Tom Cable and Dolphins wide receivers coach Karl Dorrell.
Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon has added the Denver Broncos to his visits schedule for April 13. The projected first-round pick wrapped up a visit with the Chiefs on Thursday and has the Saints up next on April 6-7. From New Orleans, he'll hop on a plane to visit the Atlanta Falcons on the 7th and 8th. During his senior year, Weatherspoon logged 104 tackles, including 14.5 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks.
The Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles have all scheduled private workouts with Morgan State wide receiver E.J. Morton-Green. According to one observer, the former Miami (OH) player ran a 4.47 forty-time at his pro day, and posted a 4.28-second short shuttle. At 6-foot-4 and 208 pounds, Morgan's a big target who can also get up high for the ball as evidenced by his 37 1/2-inch vertical leap.

USC wide receiver Damian Williams is scheduled to work out for the Broncos on April 8 and for the Falcons on the 10th. The 6-foot-1, 197-pound pass-catcher and punt returned will then fly to Denver for a visit on April 12 before stopping in St. Louis to meet with the Rams on the 13th and 14th. USC's 2009 Most Valuable Player caught 70 receptions for 1,010 yards, including six touchdown catches, and finished sixth in the country with a 14.2 punt return average.
Boston College center Matt Tennant will participate in the Bengals' pro day for local athletes on April 13. The anchor of B.C.'s offensive line, who started 41 consecutive games, has already worked out for the Broncos and the Falcons.
University of New Mexico center Erik Cook is scheduled to work out for the Bengals this week, but has also been drawing interest from the Browns, Bills, Titans, Panthers, Dolphins, Texans, Raiders and Commanders. The Lobos' Most Valuable Player Award winner in 2009 was a three-year starter who also gained some experience at tackle and guard earlier in his college career.
Middle linebacker Vuna Tuihalamaka has now visited a pair of teams with well-respected scouting departments. Earlier this month he met with the Indianapolis Colts, and this past Tuesday he was in Baltimore to visit with the Ravens. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound defender out of Arizona made 72 tackles, including 5.5 for a loss, and intercepted a pass during his final season with the Wildcats.
Brigham Young University tight end Dennis Pitta and Notre Dame center Eric Olsen will be visiting the the New Orleans Saints on April 11-12. That visit falls roughly a week after Pitta's April 5-6 visit with the Bengals and Olsen's workout at the New York Giants' pro day for local prospects. Pitta's a three-time first-team All-Mountain West selection who rolled up over 1,900 receiving yards during the last two years at BYU. Olsen started at guard for the Fighting Irish part way through his sophomore year and then moved to center for the team's 2009 campaign.
Duke's Vincent Rey raised some eyebrows during his school's pro day. Team representatives from the Jaguars, Colts, Patriots and Jets talked with the talented linebacker following the workout. So far, he's been invited to visit the New York Giants on April 8-9, and is expecting to firm up a date for a private workout with the San Francisco 49ers. The 6-foot, 240-pound defender reportedly ran the forty-yard dash in 4.54 and 4.58 seconds, the 20-yard shuttle in 4.20 seconds, and the three-cone in 6.79 seconds. He tallied an impressive 330 career tackles, including 28 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.

Versatile offensive lineman Shawn Lauvao, who played left guard and both tackle positions during his college career at Arizona State, has a visit scheduled with the Arizona Cardinals on April 14. The 6-foot-3, 315-pound lineman skillfully handled the left tackle position in 2009, but he'll likely move back inside to guard for his rookie season in the NFL. A team captain who is truly a tough guy in the trenches, Lauvao is going
