#SmallSchoolSaturday Vol. 6 𝐒𝐢𝐱 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐛-𝐅𝐁𝐒 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞'𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐰𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 (𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐠. 𝟐𝟏). 💤 NDSU DS Cole Wisniewski (@ColeWisniewski)- Consensus first-team All-American in 2023 at safety after playing LB his first three years. Hybrid defender that showed great instincts & ball skills playing from depth last year. Led all D1 defenders (FBS & FCS) with 8 INT a year ago. Had 13 ST tackles his first two years, which NFL teams will love. 💤 Cal-Poly DE Elijah Ponder - Like many small-schoolers we've profiled this summer, Ponder turned down NIL💰at FBS level this offseason to stay in San Luis Obispo. Sneaky athlete led Big Sky and was fifth in FCS with 10 sacks last year. Sources say he's a high football character guy. 💤 Lenoir-Rhyne DT Andre Jefferson (@Dre__32)- From same school as 2020 Senior Bowl alum & current Patriots stud safety Kyle Dugger. Was featured in #SSS post last summer too. Get-off quicks and long arms make him tough to block at D-II level. Had 13 sacks in each of past two seasons. A couple NFL scouts reached out to us about him last fall. 💤 UC Davis RB Lan Larison (@LanLarison)- 2023 @BigSkyConf Off POY & Walter Payton Award winner scored 15 total TD in only 8 games last season. Also has legit KOR history. Was state champion steer wrestler in HS and saved a friend's life after suffering cardiac arrest in a pool. This dude sounds like a badass. 💤 Alabama A&M OT Carson Vinson (@vinsoncarson)- First-team All-SWAC & HBCU All-American enters fall with 36 career starts and is @PFF highest graded OL in his conference. Legit NFL frame will, at minimum, get him into a camp. Big test in opener vs. Auburn and @seniorbowl staff will see him live in "Gulf Coast Challenge" vs. Jackson State in Mobile on Oct. 5. 💤 Delaware RB Marcus Yarns (@MarcusYarns)- Undersized sub/scatback got NFL scouts' attention last fall with an explosive 66-yard TD against Penn State and he continues to get buzz this summer. Second-team All-CAA last year after scoring 18 total TD, which is same league that produced 2024 Senior Bowl standout RB Dylan Laube from New Hampshire. #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️

First I want to say. It’s been a long and amazing journey. I want to thank God. I couldn’t have done it without him. And to my friends and family, thank you so much for all your support. I’ve finally found a home. Go Lions 🦁 @LGoodwin002 @coachclayisbell @CoachBMoyers
