If he doesn't get at a minimum a rookie camp tryout invite then I think you'll see more PSAC top tier RB's use that graduate transfer rule to move on up to a FCS/FBS program to gain better exposure and possibly increase their odds of getting at least a rookie camp invite.

I can't find anything. There is another DII player named Marcus Jones who signed with Baltimore so that muddles the search a bit.

I don't think it's a matter of exposure. I have never thought he was quick enough.

RBs are a dime a dozen at the NFL level. If he was good enough they'd have found him. If he ran slow 40 times at brief tryouts in front of even low-level scouts ... end of the story.

That is very true. He was a big back as far as D-II is concern (5' 11"/225lbs), but that's not big so big at the FBS level. So he needed to REALLY jump off the charts in order get any opportunity at the next level. A slow 40-time would really hurt his chances.

Guys like Darrin Hall from Pitt didn't get drafted. He'd have been a megastar at the D2 level. D2 backs just don't have the speed in almost all cases. That's why they are down here to begin with ...

I actually always thought Hall was the better pro prospect when comparing him and Ollison. Ollison was a bowling ball of sorts; good back, quick enough feet, but never a next level gear to breakaway in the open field. I thought Hall always showed good one cut ability. He had enough power to run between the tackles, but I also thought he clearly had more speed than Ollison.
