Hobart Pro Day a Success, Coleman Invited to NFL Super Regional Combine

There's been a lot of Hobart Football news of late, including the successful pro day for SR OL Ali Marpet on Friday, March 13th in Geneva. The event was well attended by pro scouts and Marpet and the Hobart Athletics department showed that even D3 teams can do D1 quality productions.

A link to a D&C article on the day can be found here. Credit Marpet for pointing out a lot of his teammates, including All-Americans SR OL DeAndre' Smith and SR DE Tyre Coleman were a big part of his success as a student athlete at Hobart. SR FB Dominique Ellis also got a "shout out" as well in this group of articles.

Speaking of Coleman, he's also pursuing his dream of playing in the NFL this weekend in Arizona. Coleman was invited to the Super Regional Combine after a good showing at a similar event in Chicago a week prior.

A snapshot of Tyre on the ground in AZ can be seen here. Not surprisingly he performed well and earned some praise in this article by FootballGamePlan.com.

Word is the Buffalo Bills are coming back to Hobart on April 8th to see Ellis, Smith and Coleman in action.

I have some recruiting news to report soon and obviously will report back on the upcoming Football banquet scheduled for April 10th to honor the 2014 Statesmen team, along with the most successful SR class in Hobart Football's nearly 125 year history.

Thanks for reading and go Bart!
