Annual Prospect Meeting List


Black&BlueBubba

Recommended Posts

Thought it was about time to start tracking this since our visits will be coming up and Pro days are in full force this week. 

Here are a couple new interesting people that have emerged from Pro days. 

Talked with both Bobby Evans and Dru Samia at the OK Pro day.  Not the ones i would have thought   Ford and Powers are the higher ranked players.

Terrill Hanks LB  New Mexico- Pro day and had a meeting with him.  Mayo replacement.

Clayton Thorson -QB Northwestern- Pro Day and Meeting  

Ty Gangi QB- Nevada- Who knows?  

They also have Clenin Ferrell listed under local but I think that is for his Pro day  not his upcoming visit  

Here are where our coaches have been spotted:

  • Auburn – GM Marty Hurney
  • Buffalo – QB Coach Scott Turner
  • Clemson – GM Marty Hurney, DC/Dline Coach Eric Washington, & Dline Coach Sam Mills III
  • Michigan – Dline Coach Sam Mills III
  • New Mexico State – LB Coach Steve Russ
  • Northwestern – GM Marty Hurney & OC Norv Turner
  • Oklahoma – GM Mary Hurney & OL Coach John Matsko
  • Vanderbilt – DB Coach Perry Fewell

So who is so interesting at Auburn for Hurney to go there?  Thoughts?

Honestly, it has to be QB Jarrett Stidham at Auburn. He might be the only player they have who gets drafted this year.

 

Jamel Dean. Cornerback.

Played very well last year, considering one of his hands was in a cast. 6'1, ran a 4.31 at the combine.

Seen as raw, which means he could contribute on special teams and hopefully become a good backup/starter a couple years down the line.

just my guess though.

As a reminder, teams are allowed to bring 30 #NFLDraft prospects in for a private visit. Local prospects or those who attended school nearby don't count. If I'm not mistaken, 2 of the 30 reported are: Alabama State OT Tytus Howard Texas A&M C/G Erik McCoy

Based on the visits so far, 1st round looks like: Sweat, Wilkins, Ferrell and maybe Lawrence

2nd round: Adderley, Thornhill, Risner, Little(?), Polite(?) - I put questions because their combines were so bad that they may have been moved down

Too hard to guess at 3rd/4th round+, but looking like DL in 1st in FS or OL in 2nd.

 

I hate to agree with  you, but this is exactly what I was thinking.  To offer a response to your  question--the OK linemen (Evans, a project LT, specifically) in the third makes sense.  I think we have to be looking at Ferrell in the first, a DT or S in the second (Little or Risner could change that)

1.Clelin Ferrell DE Clemson (I think Ferrell is going to be the pick if on the board, but  he did not participate in pro day and we sent our DL staff there--could we be looking DT?)

2. Erik McCoy C/G Tex AM  (A starter on  day 1 at LG, future C)

3. J. Thornhill, S Virginia (I saw him and liked him--have seen him projected as a SS, but  I think he can do both--fwiw)

3. Clayton Thorson, QB Northwestern (If Norv likes him, we draft him a round earlier than he should be drafted)

4. Bobby Evans OT, Oklahoma (huge upside, lotta work needed, from what I hear)

5.  Hanks LB--I  think he ran a 5.0 40, going from memory at combine. 

6. Bosa, DE Ohio State.  I hear he had 3 cavities at his most recent dental visit  Will fall to us in the sixth round. (just to see if anyone reads this far)

Lol...he sucks...

I think that drops Bosa to UDFA we will pick him up then.

Yeah you could be right. Hurndog loves his speed. He is not done with hunting speedy guys.

McCoy at 46 would be really nice. The local visits will be interesting. We can visit with any Clemson player without counting them.

I have never heard if Clemson was included in our 3 FBS schools that don’t count for visits.  I know Wake and SC are included.  It would be awesome if Clemson is a part of that.  Nice to have a powerhouse be able to farm prospects without them counting as visits and showing our cards before the draft

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
    • Dan Vladar is their best player and that is going to be the difference in the series 
    • Nothing about the Flyers scare me. They are a mid team that just barely made the playoffs.
