Will Noble, C
Noble has been one of the best centers in the country over his career at Houston. He was named a freshman All-American and has been a starting center for four seasons. As one of the most experienced centers in college football, Noble warrants some NFL Draft consideration.
He has solid height at 6-foot-5, but needs to add more weight to his 295-pound frame.
Projected draft range: Fifth round-seventh round
Emeke Egbule, LB
Egbule has been an impact player for two seasons for the Cougars. He has 154 total tackles, 12 total tackles, five sacks, one interception, five passes defended, six fumbles recovered and two touchdowns. In 2018 Egbule has 61 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, one interception, four passes defended, three fumble recoveries and one touchdown.
At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, Egbule has great size for an NFL linebacker.
Projected draft range: Sixth round-undrafted free agent

Darnell Woolfolk, RB/FB
Army is pretty thin on NFL Draft prospects, but Woolfolk will at least be looked at. He has played significant time for three seasons. In that time he has accumulated 2,297 rushing yards and 37 touchdowns. This seasons he has racked up 885 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns.
He is short at 5-foot-9, but has decent size for his height at 235 pounds. Wollfolk has run the triple option in college and is not used to a pro-style set, which could hold him back along with his size and commitment to the Army.
Projected draft range: Undrafted free agent
