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 Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl.
Utah State Aggies Prospects
Jordan Love, QB
The Aggies have a solid NFL Draft prospect at quarterback. Jordan Love is more known for his physical abilities than his stats. He threw for 3,085 yards, 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions on 60.6 percent completion. His size and arm talent have given him NFL looks, but his play has been inconsistent this year.
He is 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, giving him the look of an NFL quarterback. Love has been projected in some first-round mock drafts, but his stock has fallen since that point. The junior has mentioned that he will either enter the draft or graduate transfer after the season.
Projected Draft Range: Third round-fourth round
Tipa Galeai, Edge
An under the radar edge prospect is Tipa Galeai. He had 10 sacks as a junior at Utah State to put himself on the map, but had just five sacks this season. Galeai started his career at TCU, transferred to Utah State for his last two seasons of eligibility.
At 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, he has the height and length of an edge rusher, but he needs to add more strength. If he tests well, he could find himself on an NFL roster next season, although he will need to answer why teams’ questions about why his production dipped.
Projected Draft Range: Sixth round-undrafted free agent.
Other Draft Prospects
*Linebacker David Woodward is out for this game with an unspecified injury. He will likely be drafted between rounds four and six in the 2020 NFL Draft.
RB Gerald Bright, DT Devon Anderson, DT Christopher Unga, DB DJ Williams
Kent State Golden Flashes Prospects
Nate Warnock, OG/C
Warnock has blocked for a decently balanced offense this season. They have rushed for just under 200 yards per game and passed for just over 200 yards passing yards per game. The center will have a chance in the NFL next season.
He stands 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, which is solid size for a center. Warnock is decent college football interior offensive lineman, but may go undrafted.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Jamal Parker, CB
Parker has played a lot during his time at Kent State and has developed into a decent draft prospect. This season he has three interceptions and nine passes defended. Over his career, he has nine interceptions and 28 passes defended.
He is 5-foot-8 and 177 pounds, so he will need to add play strength. Parker will likely be utilized as a slot corner if he makes an NFL team, because he isn’t the biggest player.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Other Seniors:
WR Mike Carrigan, OT Bryce Gibbs, DE Alex Hoag, NT Dominic Hill, LB Nick Faulkner, LB Matt Bahr, S Jae’Vante Ray
