It appeared to be a pretty good day overall for the five pro hopeful’s that represented UND today.
Their were five Hawks present yesterday and all five performed the full range of tests. We have compiled as many results as we have access to (the results are often word of mouth and not formally presented).
There were 21 NFL scouts in attendance.
We found out that UND actually had their own Pro Day scheduled but the Minnesota Gophers had to switch their day, for an unknown reason, and that day ended up being the same as UND’s. Therefore, the number of scouts who would have traveled up to UND would have been cut drastically.
Even after all that UND came close to hosting again when NDSU’s bubble collapsed a short time ago. They called up to Grand Forks and asked if it could be hosted up there in case the bubble didn’t get inflated again, etc. Well, it did so there was no need for UND to host. Interesting, none the less.
After watching Brady Oliveira perform I can’t help but think of the Vikings C.J. Ham as a comparison for Oliveira. High-end running back at a smaller school but has the size at 230 pounds to be a fullback in the NFL.
Note: the numbers below are all unofficial (technically) but many have been confirmed through various sources.
