Who Are The Best Small School Prospects For The 2019 Draft?

Johnson on Buffalo. That's the easy one.

Andy Isabella

Is there any way to search for 5 star recruits out of high school that went to schools that aren't big college programs?

Thinking like Stefon Diggs.

This kid is from UMASS and will probably have an incredible College Dominator Rating, he's listed as 5'10 190 but I imagine he'll end up being smaller than that. Can't say I've watched him but from an initial glance, he could be someone to watch out for.

With the progression of the NFL's anti-hitting, tackling, anything remotely physical, I think the rise of smaller "fast" players will continue. These guys who have quick stop and go, cutting, or just flat out speed seem to be the next wave. Guys like a Dede, Hill, Lockett, Lindsay. Especially as the influx of new wave coaches simply trying to create easy space throws for their QB's. Obviously they need to be good (Philip Dorsett), but I am more and more open to these smaller guys.

Haven't looked hard enough at his tape, but this D3 RB has a shot - Lamar Carswell. I don't care what level you do this against. These highlights are straight out of Madden.

darnell holland - RB KENNESAW STATE could find little tape but nearly 12 YPC is worth more digging at any level ? and jonathon duhart & travis fulgham the ODU WR have also peaked my interest.

Carswell at a pedestrian 8ypc lol. Will have to take a look at Holland. In D2, the guy I have seen a decent amount of is Marcus Jones of Gannon. Running style isn't anything incredibly sexy, but he has had an amazing career. Good size and balance. Little Frank Gore to his game. Elusiveness reminds me a little bit of Newsome last year.

Ran a 4.38 at his pro day. Straight blur.

Nah. The guy is 24, and has a 7th percentile breakout age. Athletically, the only thing we know is he has 26th percentile burst score. A 7th percentile breakout age at a small school and comes in at 24 is a huge red flag. I won't touch the guy before round 3.

Give me Isabella, if that qualifies. There is some debate about his 40 time. The laser messed up and he was credited with a 4.31, but some think it was as low as 4.27.

That was super weird how both of his 40s were messed up and no one else's were. What the heck was that about? Did the color of his skin screw with the lasers? Not a racist, just saying.

225 lb power back Marcus Jones ran a 4.58 40 today at the Gannon Pro Day. Hopefully, he gets a chance.

Watched him play a few times this year as I'm from the area. He looks good, just hard to evaluate him playing in the PSAC vs FBS/ NFL caliber players.

Yeah ... I'll definitely use a late round pick on him.
