DRAFT TRACKER 2013

Lining up next Sean Porter and behind Damontre Moore, Stewart will likely be overlooked. Some will think that is deservedly so, since the senior tends to wait at the second level rather than aggressively meet the running back in the hole. However, others will appreciate his consistency and Stewart should get a chance to stick on an NFL roster.His best attribute is his ability to get the defense in order pre-snap.

King has always had talent, but until his junior season, he found it difficult to first get on the field, and then to keep a starting job. His flashes in 2011 (31 tackles, four for loss, two sacks) as a versatile end/tackle swing player, however, made it very possible that 2012 is the year where he breaks out for Oklahoma – and asserts himself as a potential NFL player capable of lining up for 3-4 or 4-3 teams.

While many of his teammates transferred out of Happy Valley to other schools after the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal, Stankiewitch stuck with the team he wanted to play for while growing up in eastern Pennsylvania. He only started two games in his first two years, losing half of his sophomore year to mononucleosis, but finished off his career by starting his final 27 games. Stankiewitch lacks great strength, quickness, and athletic ability, but he's a relentess worker.

Smith's strength, hustle and still-growing frame could remind scouts enough of former CAA star and 2010 seventh-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys, Sean Lissemore, to spend a late-round pick on him.

Anderson wears the number 9 in honor of a high school friend by the name of Mike Pennerman, who died as a result of injuries he suffered in a high school football game. As a high school player at Bethel High School, Anderson was a two-time Vallejo Times Herald MVP and first-team selection. He rushed for nearly 4,000 yards during his prep career as he led his squad to four consecutive playoff appearances, including a spot in the Sac-Joaquin Section title game as a junior in 2007 when he was named the Vallejo Times Herald Athlete of the Year. Before going to Cal, Anderson went to Laney College where he was second in the state of California and the NorCal conference leader in rushing as a sophomore in 2010 racking up 1,644 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. In his freshman year there, he rushed for 693 yards and three touchdowns. In 2011, at Cal, Anderson had 72 carries for 345 yards and eight touchdowns. As a senior, he had 126 carries for 790 yards and four touchdowns.

Two broken vertebrae in his back wasn’t enough to keep Thompson from coming back for his senior year. The diminutive but speedy back led the Seminoles in rushing in 2010 (845 yards, six touchdowns, also 19-155, TD receiving), but struggled with his back throughout his junior season even before suffering the major injury against Wake Forest. If he proves himself healthy enough to take hits after breaking off big runs using his track speed and elusiveness, however, teams will value him as a mid-to-late round chance of pace back with return potential.

Kugbila was picked to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine, but this wasn’t likely the most fortuitous selection in his family’s history. Kugliba’s parents Cletus and Lucy, won a visa lottery that allowed their family to move to the United States from Ghana. Kugbila and his family moved to the U.S. in 2000 when he was 10 years old. His younger brother Romauld, an Archer grad, is a freshman on the West Georgia football team. Edmund began playing football in the seventh grade. His size and talent attracted schools such as Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt and Florida, but a low SAT score prevented him from academically qualifying for a Division I school. However, Kugbila has made the most of his time at Valdosta State. After playing in all 10 games in 2009 as a reserve, Kugbila started 10 games at tackle in the following season, and recorded the second most knockdown blocks on the team. In 2011, Kugbila moved to guard and played in all 10 games with eight starts. He was named all-conference and third team All-American. Kugbila finished his college career by helping Valdosta claim the national championship in 2012.

As a standout defensive back at Lincoln High in Tallahassee, Florida, Starling’s high school honors included: Sporting News Top 100, Super Prep All-American, Prep Star All-American, Super Prep All-Dixie and Prep Star All-Southeast. He made 50 tackles in 2008, after a junior season that included 98 tackles, 10 tackles for losses, five forced fumbles and two interceptions. He also played baseball at Lincoln. Starling saw limited action as a backup free safety and played on special teams as a first-year freshman in 2009. The following year, Starling started USC's first nine games at strong safety as a sophomore in 2010, until his season ended via a strained hamstring. In those nine games, he had 37 tackles, an interception and a pass defended. He also played on the baseball team, and appeared in nine games. In 2011, he started 11 games, and missed one due to an injury. He recorded 48 tackles (3.5 for loss) and two pass deflections. In his senior year, he had 42 tackles, three interceptions and four pass breakups.

Devey’s path to a successful college career was not exactly a cookie-cutter one. Devey not play football in high school after suffering from Osgood-Schlatters while playing football in junior high. Instead, he played the tuba as a member of the American Fork High School band. He also turned down multiple music scholarships to serve an LDS church mission after graduating from high school. However, his knee condition subsided and he went on to play football at Snow College. Devey started every game at left guard during his freshman season in 2009 before transitioning to left tackle in 2010. Following the 2010 season, he was named the team's Offensive Player of the Year and earned all-region and all-conference honors. Dewey started all 12 games in his first year at Memphis, as he bounced around the offensive line. He had five starts at right tackle, one at right guard, and six at left tackle. As a senior, Dewey started in all 12 games once again, and recorded two starts left guard, and 10 starts at left tackle. Dewey did not miss a single offensive snap in his time at Memphis.

In addition to football in high school, Webster also lettered in track. As a two-time first-team All-Dade selection football player, he saw action on both sides of the ball and as a return specialist. In his junior season, he caught 30 passes for 500 yards and eight TDs in addition to recording 65 tackles, four sacks, seven forced fumbles and 10 fumble recoveries. He also had a kick return for a touchdown as a junior. In 2009, he played in all 13 games, and logged six starts.

Johnson starred as a running back and defensive back for Mesa High School in Arizona. He also played basketball, but really made his mark in football. In his senior season, Johnson totaled 16 offensive touchdowns, 59 tackles, and three interceptions. He ultimately chose to stay in his home state, as he decided to take a scholarship from Arizona State over one from Arizona. In 2008, Johnson took a redshirt, and spent the year playing with the scout team. The following year, he played in all 12 games, and had one start. He had 11 tackles on the year.

James has displayed great versatility throughout his career as a Hurricane. Has had success with different running concepts. He has a good build, runs hard, blocks well, and has shown a willingness to play, and contribute on a special teams unit. While he lacks elite athletic tools, he looks like a very solid running back who will make a roster, and possibly contribute much more as a Day 3 pick.

Williams only played one year of high school football. In his lone season, his senior year, Williams played both offensive and defensive line. He recorded 25 tackles, two interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown), one fumble recovery, and knocked down two passes. Due to only playing one season, he was lightly recruited. Williams chose Samford for its close proximity to his home. Williams redshirted his first season. In 2009, he played in seven games and had three tackles. The following year, he played in 11 games, and recorded nine tackles and a forced fumble. In 2011, he became a full-time starter, and played in every game.

He was All-Southern Conference second-team in 2011, and first-team in 2012.

Miles was recruited by many big name schools coming out of high-school, but he decided to enroll at Kent State so that he could play with his step-brother Vondre Griffin. In Miles’ first season at Kent State, Griffin was dismissed from the program after allegations of possession of marijuana and driving without a license. He was eventually cleared of the charges, but Miles decided to leave the program with Griffin no longer there. He spent the following year working in a warehouse while taking classes at a community college, before enrolling at California University of PA.

The following year, Miles amassed 71 tackles, eight pass breakups, and five interceptions. In his final season, Miles tallied 75 tackles, two pass breakups and four interceptions.

Renfree is a tall, well-built quarterback. He's made too many poor decisions resulting in interceptions over his career, but he has the arm strength to make all the throws. When this is combined with his experience in an NFL-like offense, it's possible that a team will take a liking to him as a backup quarterback.

Few prospects are born with the size of Barnes, but the biggest issue is finding a position that fits such a mammoth sized player. For Barnes, it was nose tackle int he Yellow Jackets three man front. The senior played behind Vance Walker, a current NFL player, who helped shape the interior behemoth to the player he is today.In fact, Barnes's brother, former FSU tight end Beau Reliford, already went through the draft prroess last season. After redshirting in 2008, Barnes played in all 14 games in 2009, making one start and gaining more playing time as the season went along. That season he totaled 16 total tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss. It was much of the same in 2010, as Barnes played in 12 games, starting one. He recorded 20 total tackles including a half tackle or loss. Barnes continued his backup duty in 2011, recording 11 total tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Then, as a senior, Barnes rotated in and out of the starting lineup, tallying 28 total tackles including five tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

A high school All-American from Florida, Johnson’s career hasn’t quite been as great as he expected. He started 11 games as a sophomore, but couldn’t keep that job in 2011 (four starts) even though he had three interceptions for the season. His size, length and ball skills, however, might be enticing enough to earn a late-round selection as a special teams contributor with potential for more.

The next Cornhuskers linebacker to get his chance at a professional career, Compton isn’t as productive as Barrett Ruud, big as Scott Shanle or as quick as Lavonte David. But he is tough and instinctive, like the Hall of Famer whose number 51 jersey he wears, Dick Butkus, and possesses enough athleticism to make it in the NFL as at least a reserve inside linebacker and special teams demon.

A junior college transfer originally headed to Tennessee before Lane Kiffin left for USC, Thompkins showed promise as a junior for the Bearcats (44 receptions, 536 yards, two TD) after sitting out a redshirt season. Since he’s not elite in his speed or size, Thompkins won’t be a top prospect – but it won’t be surprising if he shines as an intermediate threat who could become a solid number two or three receiver at the next level.

Stafford is following Lavonte David’s path from junior college to Lincoln to the NFL. The thick-bodied saftey needs to improve his play while the ball is in the air, but his aggressiveness could earn him a late-round selection.

Riddick made some plays as an inside receiver in his sophomore (40 catches, 414 yards, 3 TD) and junior (38-436, 3 TD) seasons, but the former all-state running back from New Jersey returned to his natural position for his senior year, while also seeing snaps at receiver when Cierre Wood was in. Riddick's chess piece potential will likely earn him a draftable grade.

Brown comes from an athletic family, as his brother, Trevor, is currently a tight end for the Cougars, and his other brother, Les, was a basketball player at Westminster College. Braden Brown didn’t just spend his time at BYU playing football, as he participated in a service project with Engage Now Service Expedition to Cuenca, Ecuador to help build a school, build irrigation systems and taught young villagers how to play football. Brown redshirted his first year on campus, but received the Bill McNabb Personal Best Offensive Scout Award. In 2009, he saw action in all 13 games, and logged two starts at right tackle after converting from tight end.

As a senior, Brown was named to the FBS All-Independent team, and earned an invite to the East-West Shrine Game.

Painter, who is the cousin of Virginia Tech receiver Randall Dunn, earned first-team All-Tidewater and first-team All-Eastern District honors on the offensive line as both a junior and senior at Maury High. He was also was second-team all-district as a defensive tackle. Painter actually began his Virginia Tech career at defensive tackle, as he worked there during the fall of his redshirt season, before he moved to offense for spring practice.

Allen was a two time all-state left tackle at Tift County High School. He also fared quite well in the post season, as he played in the Georgia North/South All-Star Classic and earned MVP honors at the Nike Training Camp in Athens, Georgia. In 2008, Allen took a redshirt, but still contributed for the scout team, and was named the offensive scout team player-of-the-week for the Florida State game. The following year, Allen saw time at both guard and tackle in 11 games. He logged a season high of 35 snaps against Murray State. In 2010, Allen moved into a starting role at right guard.

It’s no easy task following in the footsteps of the NCAA’s leading tackler in 2011 and ninth overall selection in last April’s draft, Luke Kuechly. Clancy’s making the move, however, from a reserve outside linebacker to the middle to utilize his strength and hustle between the tackles in order to plug the same holes Kuechly did for three seasons. Scouts will be watching to see if Clancy steps up to the task – any success in that pursuit could earn him draftable grades.

Bonner played at Newnan High School and was a first-team All-State selection as a junior and senior at wide receiver. He finished his senior year (in which he was a team captain) with 54 catches for 1,100 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was named All-State by the Atlanta Journal Constitution and by CSS television after his senior year.

Cameron won the Sammy Baugh award in 2012, which is awarded to college football's top passer. Cameron doesn't make mistakes with the football, and has a nice, quick release. However, he lacks the physical tools to ever be a starting caliber quarterback at the next level.

Moody helped his Roman Catholic High School team to the league championship as a senior. Throughout his career, he played cornerback, safety and linebacker on defense, and receiver on offense. Heralded as a four star prospect and one of the top high school players in Pennsylvania, Moody chose FSU over offers from Penn State, Georgia Tech, Michigan State and Temple.

Moody dealt with a lingering groin injury in 2011, which limited him to only nine games and just 23 tackles. In 2012, Moody moved to linebacker, and had 20 tackles and one sack in 14 games.

Allen excels at placing the ball inside the 10-yard line and has enough leg strength to stick around the NFL for many years if able to put more consistent height on longer kicks to prevent long returns from pro returners.
