Small School Prospects are usually not very talked about when it comes to the NFL Draft, well that will change this year on Mocking The Draft. As a small school scout, I am going to bring you exclusive interviews with players from small schoolers that have a great chance of getting drafted in the 2013 NFL Draft. I compiled a list of players who I believe will be very good this upcoming season in order of position who are all senior's and draft eligible. There are many great small school players, who I have not been able to see all the film on yet, but as I do this list will change. This list of small schooler's is a list that I have put together of the guys I have saw film on, and believe have a great chance at making it in the NFL. So enough talking, lets look at the list.
QB
Brad Sorensen - Southern Utah/BYU 6-5, 225 - Brad is by far the best QB in this class from the small school level. He is probably the best small school quarterback coming out since Joe Flacco. Keep an eye on the BYU transfer this year in Southern Utah. Last year Sorensen was a very good player, and an All American in his conference, look for him to be in running for the Walter Payton Award this year.
Nate Montana - West Virginia Wesleyan/Notre Dame (Joe Montana's Son)
Kyle Padron - Eastern Washington/SMU
Casey Brockman - Murray State
RB
Washaun Ealey - Jacksonville State/Georgia 5-11, 215 - A Georgia Transfer who lit it up at the D-1 level, but came down to Jacksonville State. At JVille State, Watch out for the senior back to have a break out year this year. He will be looking for revenge when he plays Florida this year as he will get back in the SEC for another time.
Matt Denham - Eastern Kentucky
Jordan Brown - Bryant
Terrance LeFall – Howard
Rodney Scott - Bethune Cookman/Ole Miss
FB
Eric Breitenstein, Wofford
Kendall Gaskins - Richmond
WR
Aaron Mellette - Elon 6-4, 212- Mellette has draftniks fighting, because this kid is special. If you have not seen film on him, then you need too. He will be the best WR out of the small schools this year. He had better stats than Brian Quick who was taking in the second round, but watch out for this kid as he could be a guy that really rises throughout the year. If he has a huge game versus North Carolina the first game of the season, his stock might continue to go up.
Nicholas Edwards - Eastern Washington 6-3, 200
Xaiver Boyce - Norfolk State/V-Tech 6-4, 220
Ryan Spadola - Lehigh 6-3, 205
Travis Tarpley - Delaware State
Justin Wilson - Delaware State
Eddie Poole - Bethune Cookman/Rutgers
Cordell Roberson - Stephen F. Austin
KJ Stroud - Bethune Cookman/Rutgers
Rodrick Rumble - Idaho State
Rico Richardson - Jackson State
TE
Colin Anderson - Furman
David Duran - Coastal Carolina
OT
Mark Jackson - Glenville State/Illinois - 6'5, 320 - Mark Jackson is a transfer from Illinois, and even though he is at little Glenville State, watch out for this kid. He is hungrier than any player coming out. He has the ability to play all the positions on the line, and is a very strong kid. Last year he threw players around left and right, it will be exciting to see what he can do this year, especially if invited to a All Star game like East/West Shrine Game.
Patrick Ford - Eastern Kentucky
Alec Savoie - McNeese State
Aaron Adams - Eastern Kentucky
Anthony Oden - Lamar
Terren Jones - Alabama State
Jamaal Johnson-Webb - Alabama A&M
Macon Allen – Missouri Western
OG
Blake Matthews - Norfolk State 6-4, 315 - Big Blake is a mauler, a mean, rough, gritty type of player who is dominating the MEAC division. Matthews is a guard who could step out and play tackle. Preferably Right Tackle, but he has good foot work and is a strong as a bull. Matthews will be one to keep an eye on, because he opens holes like crazy for NSU.
Earl Watford - James Madison
Evan Conrad - Southeast Missouri
Malcolm Boyd - Liberty
DE
David Bass - Missouri Western State 6-3, 258 - There are many good guys in this list but I am going to talk about David Bass. David is a very long and quick Defensive End. He has good moves and is quick off the blocks. I like his intensity on the field, and he will be ready to shine this year. Bass will have another big year and probably be on the All American List at the end of the season.
Ben Obaseki - Indiana State 6-3, 235
Marquis Jackson - Texas Southern/USC 6-5, 275
Willie Jefferson - Stephen F. Austin/Baylor
Cody Larson - Southern Utah
Frank Beltre - Towson
DT
Brent Russell - Georgia Southern 6-2, 287- Kyle Williams Jr, that is what Brent Russell looks like, he is a quick big guy, who can get around the players. He almost always draws double teams, because he is so hard to guard. Watch for Russell to have a break out year this year. He is very quick off the snap, and uses his hands as weapons, and can get the guy in front of him off. He gets separation and is a very smart kid in the film room.
Brandon Williams - Missouri Southern
Monton Hughes - Tennessee Martin/Tenn.
Emory Attig - Eastern Kentucky
J.T. Cleveland Sam Houston State
Zach Minter - Montana State
OLB
Keith Pough - Howard 6-3, 215- This is easy, Pough is the best small school linebacker in the country. He is very good off the edge, is a very sound tackler, and has good speed. Pough has been a starter since his freshman year, and was a runner up the last two years in the Buck Buchanan Award. There will be tons of teams looking at Pough this year, and he will need another huge year showing his production is legit.
Nate Palmer - Illinois State/Illinois
Joseph Lebeau - Jackson State
Zach Johnson - Eastern Washington
Greg Wilson - Arkansas - Monticello/Kentucky
Alvin Scioneaux - Wofford
Brandon Hepburn – Florida A&M
Blake Peiffer - SE Missouri State
Criag Wilkins - Old Dominion
ILB
Andrae Jacobs - Coastal Carolina
Derek Rose - Northwestern State (LA)
Evan Frierson - Illinois State/Illinois
Matt Evans - New Hampshire
Jeremy Kimbrough - Appalachian State
CB
B.W. Webb - William & Mary 5-11, 175 - B.W. is no joke at the corner position. This kid is talented, he has good hands, and is very speedy. Webb jumps routes and makes teams pay for throwing at him. I can see Webb blowing up this year, with a huge senior year. If he can do it one more year, he could be an early mid round pick.
Charles James - Charleston Southern 5-10, 175
Demetrius McCray - Appalachian State 6-0, 185
Jeremy Moore, Georgetown
FS
Malcolm Bronson - McNeese State 5-11, 192- When Janzen Jackson came to McNeese State from Tennessee as a big time starter for the Vols, he thought he would be automatic to touch the field as the starter. Well that didn't happen, you know why? Bronson wouldn't let him get on the field, as a Junior last year, Bronson out played Jackson at McNeese State and this safety with a good showing this year could raise some GM's eyebrows.
KeJuan Riley - Alabama State 6-0, 208
Jordan Dangerfield - Towson
Jakar Hamilton - South Carolina State
SS
Rontez Miles - Cal (PA)/Kent St. -6-0, 210 - Did you say Strong Safety? This kid defines Strong Safety to the T. He is a very hard hitting football player who is hungrier than ever. He reminds me of Josh Norman but at the Safety spot. He is not afraid of anyone, and he will go one on one with a #1 receiver as a corner. He has the speed and agility to shut out the best wide outs in his division, and he is ready to show teams that Cal (PA) players need to be drafted.
Cooper Taylor - Richmond/G-Tech
Nick Williams - UNA/Georgia
Serge Kona, Duquesne
Rod Woodson - UNA/Alabama
Darnell Taylor - Sam Houston State
Jamaal White, Northwestern State

Zach Brown - Portland State
