Really small school. Special teams ace?

Listed on 1 site as 6 foot, another as 5-9.5.
4.45 40.
Hoosiers are historically bad team, but decent d in 2022.

4.56 40 at cb years ago, that was higher end of adequate. With so many sub 4.4 receivers in NFL.
Coldon is likely nicknamed "toast" if he sees the field.

I thought Pace was the terror lber Cincy featured in their 2021 season. Obviously I'm mistaken. He played for the Zips in 2021.

I really love this "project"
Boom/bust FA. I hope Vikings stick with him.

I know nothing about Marshall beyond Randy Moss & the horrible plane crash.
Is this 1st marshall player in Viking uni since Mr. Water Bottle?

Illini NT- a team NOBODY ran on.
Avery has a huge chance of beating out Roy from LSU.
VERY NICE ADD!

I'm not a fan of 300lb interior linemen. Too many DT's bench 350 daily... But? All-american academic and started a lot of games.
I wouldn't be surprised if he outplays Brad Burried at every practice. The one video, vs Baylor's nt. Great bend & leverage.

Thin...ahem, thin.
Future in Hollywood?
I guess? Vikings/ O'Connell really like academic all Americans at the pivot. Maybe these 2 centers can tutor Oli the Giant. I still think that guy should be the starting center. But, I don't think Elan is a school that produces academic all Americans.
Receivers/ SLASH!!!
RANDLE El?

Watch the short vids, read the article.
I bet you all a dollar. Cephus is the star of rook mini camp, and every practice before cut downs... Interesting... Maybe most interesting player Kwesi brought in?

3tds via kickoff return. Say goodbye Jalen.

A younger Adam Theilan. Good player for the wolfpack. But like Theilan. Zone beater, not good vs man coverage.
Slow, white, TE.

Every year it seems. The Vikes grab this same guy.
Ben eleffson from another mother. The Div 3 kid they took a flyer on at near 7 foot tall( that kid, was his name Christianson? Davidson? Needs to watch last night's "60 minutes" check out the AFL success story)
And...kicking competition from Champ bulldogs...

Great from 45 & in... Very distance challenged.
But... Mr Joseph take note... Didn't miss any PAT's ever during sec play.
History tells us.... At least one of these 15 will be an NFL star
Cephus?
Andre the giant?
Avery the Fire plug?
Thayer Theilan?
Maybe Jackie Chan(Chen) since nowadays, it's more entertainment than balling.
I hope y'all appreciate the time spent producing this fa bio list....
Instead, I should a been on the golf course this 70° morning.
