The bowl season gives fans and scouts alike a chance to analyze NFL Draft prospects against solid competition. The bowl season schedule allows all eyes to be on each game. Here are the NFL Draft prospects in the 2019 Camellia Bowl.
James Morgan, QB
Morgan started out his career at Bowling Green before transferring to Florida International. He has experience at both schools and has thrown for 8,317 yards, 64 touchdowns and 32 interceptions on 57.2 percent completion. This season, he has thrown for 2,248 yards, 13 touchdowns and three interceptions on 58 percent completion.
At 6-foot-4 and 213 pounds, Morgan has the size of an NFL quarterback. His numbers aren’t eye-popping, but he will likely get a chance to make an NFL team.
Projected Draft Range: Sixth round-undrafted free agent

He came to FIU in 2015 and redshirted for a year, but Lewis started contributing after that. Lewis has 287 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss and two sacks in his career. As a redshirt senior this year, he has 81 total tackles, three tackles for loss and one interception.
He is 6-foot-1 and 240 pounds, which will fit right in for an NFL linebacker. Lewis had 121 total tackles as a junior, which should help NFL executives believe in his abilities enough for at least a tryout.
Projected Draft Range: Seventh round-undrafted free agent
Other notable draft-eligible players: RB Shawndarrius Phillips, WR Austin Maloney, WR Maurice Alexander, DT Teair Tart, LB Tyson Maeva, CB Stanley Thomas-Oliver, S Olin Cushion
Omar Bayless, WR

Bayless has developed over the years into a great receiver for the Red Wolves. He has 167 catches for 2,584 yards and 25 touchdowns in his time at Arkansas State. In 2019, he has 84 receptions for 1,473 yards and 16 touchdowns.
He has great height at 6-foot-3 and 203 pounds. Bayless will need to add play strength, but he has a big catch radius. Bayless’ great production will get him a chance in the NFL.
Projected Draft Range: Seventh round-undrafted free agent
Darreon Jackson, S
Jackson started his career out at Boise State, but transferred to Arkansas State for his last three years of eligibility. He has 251 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks in his career. For the Red Wolves in 2019, Jackson has 103 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Other notable draft-eligible players: WR Dahu Green, WR Kirk Merritt, S B.J. Edmonds
