Players from Weber State are no strangers to the nfl-draft, last year, two brothers from Weber State, Paul and Pat McQuistan were drafted by the Raiders and Cowboys respectively, and both look like they will be quality NFL players. This year another talented prospect hails from Weber State:
Bo Smith (6' 2" 190 pounds) is a very talented defensive back and has been receiving a lot of attention from NFL Scouts, recently playing in the prestigious East-West Shrine game, and receiving an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine February on 21-27 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Smith came to Weber State in the Fall of 2006 as a transfer from the University of Kentucky where he spent three seasons with the Wildcats in Lexington. In his one season with the Wildcats, Smith earned First Team All-Big Sky Conference honors. He played and started in all 11 games recording 44 total tackles with 35 of them the unassisted variety. He had two pass interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and four pass break ups.
Smith is just a great athlete, he also had eight kickoff returns for an average of 19.6 yards per return. He could probably fit at safety in the NFL, like most of these Small School Prospects, he will have have to earn a roster spot playing special teams.
I will report back after the NFL Combine with the results, so stay tuned, but Bo Smith might just be a sleeper in this 2007-nfl-draft.

Great blog...I just discovered it. Who do you think my Cowboys will select with their first round pick in this upcoming draft?
Thanks for the comment....maybe a free safety, corner, offensive guard, or maybe a defensive tackle if a good one slips down to them.
