Hobart's Head Football Coach Mike Cragg recently reported that several Statesmen players are eyeing the possibility of playing professional football.
RB Steven Webb '14 is attending a combine in Baltimore to perform in front of NFL, CFL and AFL scouts. Webb was also recently selected in the American Indoor Football (AIF) League by the Mariners as reported here by "The Baltimore Sun." While I am not sure if Webb will accept the offer to play in the AIF, I am certain he'll consider the opportunity.
That said Webb isn't the only Statesmen being looked at by scouts. OLB/DB Devin Worthington '14 attended a combine in Virginia and FS Jolyon Davis '14, Webb and Worthington are all planning on attending a CFL combine being hosted by Edminton Eskimos in Cincinnati next month.
Speaking of Davis, the Hobart SR Co-Captain made this thoughtful address to his teammates, coaches and family at the Statesmen Football Banquet on February 21st. Jolyon is definitely a class act.
Wrapping up the pro football talk, rising SR DE Tyre Coleman and SR OL Ali Marpet were visited by scouts from the Redskins and Cardinals of the NFL last week.
All in all it's shaping up to a busy spring for Hobart Football! I will have more new recruit information next week as it appears the Statesmen have signed a strong player out of the Albany area.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
