Really hard to believe we had more players get drafted during our D2 era off one team than our entire D1 era so far? I know D2 was established and won nattys. You would think we would have attracted a couple of late rounders for NFL talent as a D1 program. If Dearmon stays here a few years I fully expect that trend to change.

Things are so different now, though. Before the transfer rule change, D2 could get some really great transfer players because they didn’t have to sit out a year. It doesn’t happen much now. I hope Dearmon finds guys and develops them into potential pro talent even if that’s XFL, USFL, CFL, etc. But again, can we keep folks around with NIL? College sports have changed so much in the past five years.

I think our NFL draft guys will probably play their last year at larger school….. You are spot on in different rules, free agency in college sports has changed everything. Hoping for NCAA to get a better grip on it in next few years.

Broderic Martin former UNA Lion was just drafted by the Detroit Lions! Way to go Broderic! I remember sitting with him and McIntyre and watching the spring game after he signed with us. He was such a big guy. Happy for him!
