Dane Brugler of The Athletic just put out a very thorough top-300 NFL Draft Board, which you can read here. Brugler’s Board features a few different draft-eligible Spartans, which we will list below along with a short passage from Brugler’s story. Of course, you’ll need to fire up a subscription to The Athletic, or use a free trial, to read his full scouting report on each player, and I encourage you to do so.
- No. 91: Josiah Scott, CB
- “Overall, Scott’s lack of size, length and strength show up on tape, but so does his foot quickness and compete skills to mirror and match, projecting as a subpackage rookie with potential to be more.”
- No. 157: Kenny Willekes, DE
- “Overall, Willekes lacks the anchor and length to be a consistent edge-setter vs. NFL offensive tackles, but his resilient mentality and competitive motor translate to production, which should land him in a defensive line rotation.”
- No. 162: Joe Bachie, LB
- “Overall, Bachie is an active, intense competitor with the toughness and awareness required for the pro game, but his athletic limitations might make it tough for him to surpass backup status in the NFL.”
- No. 220: Raequan Williams, DT
- “Overall, Williams has a reliable play motor with the lateral quickness, length and strong hands to earn snaps as a one-technique, although his hurried play style and lack of consistency project him as more of a backup.”
