[FUBeAR]

Cool list… FUBeAR did some cipherin’

This… “SDSU, NDSU, Missouri State, UNI, and and Jackson State have the largest number of prospects of any school.” … doesn’t seem quite right/complete, unless FUBeAR misciphered (see below).

“Top 20”
1 - SDSU = 8
2 - Jackson St. = 7
2 - NDSU = 7
2 - South Dakota = 7
5 - MO St. = 6
5 - Montana = 6
5 - SE MO St. = 6
8 - FAMU = 5
8 - Holy Cross = 5
8 - ILL St. = 5
8 - Northern IA = 5
12 - Chattanooga = 4
12 - Furman = 4
12 - Idaho = 4
12 - Northern AZ = 4
12 - Rhode Island = 4
12 - Sacramento St. = 4
12 - Southern IL = 4
12 - UC Davis = 4
12 - William & Mary = 4

By Selected FCS Conference
MVFC = 47 | AVG/11 Teams = 4.2727
Big Sky = 34 | AVG/12 Teams = 2.8333
SoCon = 16 | AVG/9 Teams = 1.7777

I should have included SEMO and USD but I was moving fast. I edited it to reflect. Keep in mind this is all those who are suppose to be getting looks this fall.

If you want to really narrow this down here is a list of those considered among the draftable/top PFA types.

The most represented of this caliber are SDSU, NDSU, Missouri State, South Dakota, Sam Houston, and Southern Illinois.

[Professor Chaos]

Interesting to see Dawson Weber but no Michael Tutsie when it comes to NDSU safeties. Tutsie is getting most of the preseason accolades between the two but I guess Weber's superior speed and coverage abilities must make him more appealing as an NFL prospect.

The NFL definitely values traits more because they are looking for upside. Tutsie will get peaked at but those I listed from NDSU are the ones who are getting the most looks as of now. It was like last year Griffin at SDSU was just an average/solid player for them but he was a test freak who displayed NFL athletic ability on film at times so he got a contract while some accomplished all-conference players did not even get a tryout. Keep in mind that this is just an early list and more names will pop up as well.

I love his lists as a fan but yep, the list has always had a geographical bias

Miller TE Furman

or FB

he’s a good one either way but a TE / WR from what I saw

There really is not a bias like some fans believe as much as the landscape has just changed. My lists use to be dominated more by the east coast teams 15+ years ago but the geography of NFL prospects at the FCS level have changed a lot since. It use to be that there were players in every area but a lot more in the CAA/SoCon footprint and the SLC/MVFC/Big Sky was below them. Now, the CAA and SoCon have really fallen off since they have lost their top programs and most new P5 teams have come in their recruiting areas. Midwest and west coast have not seen the same changes so the MVFC has taken over as the best league, which is proven in the playoffs and on draft day every year these days.

As for your comment on Miller I had him as a FB myself previously but my sources informed me that at the junior pro day he measured 6'1 3/8, 209 pounds and they believe he runs in the 4.45-4.55 range in the 40. Those measurements would suggest WR but I left him as a FB because the school lists him at 221 pounds.

Noah Plack was actually the only name on NFL watch lists that scouts have told me they were given but Whitehead is another name due to size and production and will get some looks this fall as well.
