QB Brandon Silvers, Troy
During his four years as a starter at Troy University, Silvers passed for 10,677 yards (second in school history) with a 64.4% completion rating and compiled 71 touchdowns with a passer rating of 135.8. As an All-Conference QB during his senior year, he led the Trojans to their best record in school history (11-2, 7-1 Sun Belt). After spending time with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, he started three games for the AAF's Memphis Express last year (777 yards, 4 TDs) and signed with the New York Jets prior to training camp in 2019. 

RB Trey Williams, Texas A&M
As a junior, he led the team with 474 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns on 70 carries (6.8-yard avg.). He also made 14 receptions for 59 yards, 13 returns for 318 yards, including a 75-yard return against Alabama. He was second on the team with 851 all-purpose yards. He declared for the 2015 NFL Draft after the season. He rushed for 1,343 yards on 204 carries with 18 touchdowns during his college career.

RB Kenneth Farrow, Houston
He finished his last year at Houston with a total of 185 carries for 958 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns while also making 10 catches for 119 receiving yards. During his senior season, he only appeared in 11 games but started all of them. He finished his five-year career at Houston with 560 carries for 2,980 rushing yards, which was for an average of 5.6 yards per carry, and scored 34 rushing touchdowns. Farrow also made 74 receptions for 546 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.

WR Fred Ross, Mississippi St
A First-Team All-SEC selection at Mississippi State, Fred Ross signed with the Carolina Panthers after going undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft. Ross has excellent coordination tracking the ball downfield. His college film showed a very productive SEC receiver from both the slot and from the outside.

WR Keenan Reynolds, Navy
A 49-game starting quarterback for Navy, Keenan Reynolds passed for 31 touchdowns and ran for 88 touchdowns over his college career. The 2015 third-team All-American was drafted in the sixth round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2016 and has participated in NFL training camps as a receiver. The former track star's transition to the position is young, but his ability to make defenders miss with the ball in his hands projects a bright outlook for his career.

WR Kasen Williams, Washington
In 2012, Williams started every game as a sophomore and earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors. He totaled 77 catches, earning him third place on the Huskies' all-time single-season reception list, and tallied 878 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. 

WR John Santiago, North Dakota
Collected All-America honors for the third-consecutive season, garnering Associated Press and Phil Steele first team accolades as an all-purpose player. Led the FCS during the regular season with 1,780 all-purpose yards and was second with an 161.8 all-purpose yards per game average. Finished campaign with 970 rushing yards and a team-high five touchdowns, while adding 10 receptions for 93 yards. Finished collegiate career with 5,539 all purpose yards and 31 TDs.

WR Malachi Jones, Appalachian St
Jones caught 124 passes for 1,711 yards and eight touchdowns in four seasons at Appalachian State. Appeared in all 49 games during his Mountaineer career and made 35 starts at wide receiver. Jones caught 66 passes for 685 yards and 16 touchdowns in 10 games, and was awarded the 2017 National Arena League Rookie of the Year. In 2018, Jones had 77 receptions for 1,156 yards and 29 touchdowns along with 5 rushing touchdowns. Jones scored at least once in every game played, and passed the 100 yards receiving mark in a game on four occasions during the regular season. He won the 2018 Arena Football League Rookie of the Year Award and Wide Receiver of the Year, becoming the only rookie in league history to win both awards in the same season.

TE Jace Amaro, Texas Tech
A 2013 first-team All-American, Jace Amaro set the NCAA single-season record for receiving yards by a TE as a junior. He is a flex tight end with prototype size and bulk. He shows strong hands and is competitive in traffic. He is a tough runner after the catch and will impose his will to pick up extra yardage through contact.

TE Evan Rodriguez, Temple
Evan Rodriguez is a former 4th-round NFL draft selection by the Bears where he had an abbreviated stint. He is an H-back that can be maneuvered around the formation as a receiver and lead blocker. He offers reliable hands and has some natural run after catch skills. Finished collegiate career with 69 catches, 871 yards, 7 TDs

TE Cam Clear, Texas A&M
On May 25, 2012, Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley announced that Clear would be dismissed from Tennessee. This came after he was charged with felony theft for stealing a laptop from a member of the Vol's baseball team. A lot of scouts were skeptical due to the incident at Tennessee, concern with weight issues, and his lack of playing time throughout his collegiate career. Finished career with 10 catches, 80 yards and 1 TD.

OT Isaiah Battle, Clemson
Junior who is one of the team’s most athletic offensive linemen. Has 32 knockdowns in 1,336 snaps over 27 games (15 starts) in his career. Had a significant role in each of Clemson’s wins over top-25 teams in bowl games in 2012, 2013 and 2014. 2014: Had 18 knockdowns in 824 snaps over 12 games (11 starts). Eighth in school history in snaps by an offensive tackle.
Selected in 3rd round of Supplemental Draft by the Rams, later traded to Seahawks.

OT Quinterrius Eatmon, South Florida
“Q” had a gem of a career at USF, finishing 2nd all-time in school history with 46 games started. After red-shirting his freshmen year, he started all 12 games at RT, earning 2nd-team Freshmen All-American honors by Yahoo! Sports. He anchored an offense that averaged 432.8 yards of total offense and 183.2 rushing yards per game. His finest season came during his senior year, where he started all 12 games, 10 at RG, 1 at LG, and 1 at RT. Eatmon helped Marlon Mack (Indianapolis Colts) rush for just the 4th 1,000 yard rushing season in school history, and a school and conference record 275 yards vs Western Carolina. He was named to the AAC 2nd team by Phil Steele and was named a finalist for Rare Diseason Champion Award presented by Uplifting Athletes.

OT Michael Dunn, Maryland
As a Senior: Started 11 games, including 10 starts at left tackle ... helped pave the way for a Maryland rushing offense that eclipsed 2,500 yards for the first time since 2003. Helped Ty Johnson become the ninth 1,000-yard rusher in Maryland history. Led way for Maryland to score six rushing touchdowns against Howard (9/3). Blocked for Ty Johnson’s 204-yard rushing performance vs. Purdue (10/1). Helped Ty Johnson and Lorenzo Harrison both eclipse 100 rushing yards vs. Michigan State (10/22). Blocked for Ty Johnson’s 142-yard rushing day at Indiana (10/29). Helped Ty Johnson rush for 168 yards vs. Rutgers (11/26).

OT Jordan Rose, Idaho
Missed one game because of injury but was a forced to be reckoned with on the offensive line. Earned all-Sun Belt Conference honorable recognition for his tough, steady, play whether pass blocking or run blocking. Helped the Vandals have one of the most productive offenses in the conference with second-place rankings in fourth-down conversion percentage, passing offense, red zone offense, scoring offense and team pass efficiency and third-place rankings in time of possession, tackles for loss allowed, offensive first downs, completion percentage and third-down conversion ranking. 3 year starter. Born in Spokane.

OT Craig McCorkle, California (PA)
Junior Year: Named AFCA Second-Team All-American. Chosen D2Football.com Second-Team All-American. Voted D2CCA Second-Team All-Region. Tabbed Don Hansen Football Gazette Second-Team All-Region. Selected to All-PSAC West First-Team. Started 10 games at left tackle

OG Venzell Boulware, Tennessee
Boulware spent just one year with the Hurricanes, transferring with his degree from Tennessee. He played in all 13 games for Miami this year, and he started six of them. The 6-foot-3, 306-pound offensive lineman has played tackle and guard, but he projects on the inside at the next level. He currently projects as a late-round pick in next spring's draft, and testing will be very important for Boulware.

OG Cyril Richardson, Baylor
A former All-American, Cyril Richardson was drafted in the fifth round by the Buffalo Bills in 2014 after his Baylor career. In the NFL, he spent four years with the Bills and Chicago Bears, seeing playing time in 12 games and starting four, before starting in the AAF. A Day 1 starter as a guard, Richardson's mean streak, drive strength and functional lateral agility make him a force in the ground game and in protections.

OG Robert Myers, Tennessee St
Myers played at Tennessee State from 2010 to 2014. In his senior season in 2014, he started in all 12 games. He was named the All-Ohio Valley Conference second team for his accomplishments in the 2015 season. Selected in the 5th Rd of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Ravens.

OC Dillon Day, Mississippi St
A four-year starter at Mississippi State, the former SEC center has also played guard at the professional level. After going undrafted in 2015, Day spent four years in the NFL with four NFL teams, including multiple stints on active rosters. Overall, Day is a smart, try-hard competitor who possesses the desired toughness to set the tone for an interior.

OC Kirk Barron, Purdue
2 year starter at OC. Listed as #1 OC in Indiana coming out of high school and a 3* recruit.

XFL Draft is over, here are the players selected by the Dragons in Phases 4 and 5: https://twitter.com/XFLDragons/status/1 ... 2573051904, https://twitter.com/XFLDragons/status/1 ... 7078224897

There are some recognizable names from both phases, mainly Mohammed Seisay, BJ Daniels, Shane Bowman, Martin Ifedi (yes, the older brother of our very own Germain), Na'ty Rodgers (son of Tyrone who played for the '91 National Championship Huskies as well as the Hawks), and last but not least, Lavon Coleman! I remember a certain someone over at the old ST forum gushing about him, and now he can gush about him as a member of the Dragons :mrgreen:

I was wondering if Ms2Playoffs had migrated over here. That explains his "Fire Petersen" thread over on the Husky FB forum as his posting style is similar. I thought he wanted him fired for not starting his boy KJ over Browning.

I googled his name and it appears he wasn't drafted by any of the XFL teams.

I have no problem with him, I just didn't agree with his biggest fan that he was head and shoulders above Browning. The fact he got benched during his only year at Colorado State proved him wrong.

Yep. That's him. I saw the headline that three CSU players were drafted and figured one must have been him but he was only in the pool. Not drafted. :shock:

KJ obviously would have been drafted in the last NFL draft if not for the incompetence of the Husky coaching staff. I am also sure they called CSU and demanded they bench the future Heisman award winner, just because. Coleman was OBVIOUSLY better than the all team leading rusher in Husky history. How Gaskins every took the field the past four years with such a dominant player on the sidelines is beyond me.

Sometimes you just can't make this stuff up. Good for Coleman, I really mean that. BUT, as a Husky I was always irritated when he was on the field...as it meant one less snap that Gaskin could break the game open. Is that crazy? Hell yes it is, because Gaskin couldn't and shouldn't have run the ball every down. But DAMN I loved watching that kid play.

It would seem that 32 NFL teams just don't get it. Browning and Gaskin are rostered, and KJ and Coleman are not. Odd.
