Draft Day

[UKraiders]

Best of luck to your Boys tonight. I think a team will get a steal in Jackson. Boyd and Dowling also seem like good players and let's not forget about Andrews. Hoping Raiders land Dowling to back up woodson. Think he has starter potential.

A successful draft by the Hilltoppers - Andrew Jackson to the Colts in the 6th round, pick #203, Jonathan Dowling to the RAAAY-DAHHHS in the 7th round, pick #247, and Antonio Andrews signs with the Titans as an undrafted free agent.

Great move by Andrews and will generate a lot of buzz in the Bowling Green area. Could very well take the same undrafted free agent path as another fantastic WKU running back, Bobby Rainey.

Boyd signed with the Ravens. Love getting Dowling!! Sit a year and get bigger. Woodson probably retires after this year and hopefully Dowling steps in. Dudes got talent. Can't wait.

Raiiiideeerrrrs! You should have seen my son as an 8 year old a complete emotional mess when the Raiders lost the Super Bowl in 2002. He would have never guessed at the time that he would have played with a future Raider

Also noticed today that Baree Boyd has been invited to tryout at Buccaneers mini-camp. That makes 5 Hilltoppers (two draft picks) that will take part in NFL camps. Not a bad season's work, shows you how much this football program continues to improve in all facets of recruiting and player development, the present and past coaching staffs' have done an excellent job.

I think you're missing Kadeem Jones also an UFA.

Haha. O the Superbowl.....I was a wreck too. After the tuck rule and Tony Siragusa Squishing Gannons ribs it was a forgone conclusion that this was our year. I was 15......still a wreck afterwards

You are correct, it's nice to have so many Hilltopper players signing with NFL teams that I lost count
