NSIC UDFA Signings

That's kind of the reality in D2 - not even the HH winner is guaranteed a camp invite.

Pulling for guys like this though - maybe spring football is an option.

True, because typically the HH winner is a QB and there just are not enough spots in the league to bring them all in. Look at guys like Max Duggan that are playing in the UFL after winning the O'Brien and Unitas awards a few years back.

Augustana RB Jarod Epperson is headed to rookie minicamp with KC Chiefs.

Augustana CB Jayvian Farr to rookie minicamp with TB Buccaneers

Looks like Epperson also got a tryout with the Vikings according to Josh on the general board.

Kind of surprised Jake Gannon hasn't landed somewhere with being the D-II Rimington Award winner. You would think someone would take a flyer on him.

Luke Gunderson got rookie camp invites from Colts and Packers

Former Wolf Emmit Bohle got a rookie camp invite from the Bears

I heard someone from Northern got a camp invite through a D1R clip - but couldn't make out the name, anyone know who it is?

A 3rd Augustana teammate has a rookie minicamp invite. Safety Peyton Buckley is headed to the Washington Commanders.

I bet by now people see how successful of a career CJ Ham has had, and are trying to go back to the well

Good for Jarod - I was hoping he'd get a look this year.

Teams will bring in guys for rookie camp who aren't on the official UDFA list. UDFAs simply get the teams up to the 90-man offseason roster size.

Very true. I'm also guessing the transfer portal hurt somewhat too. There was just a time where they'd brought in about every NFL bound NSICer between Thielen and Zylstra, maybe except for Brian Leonhardt.

List updated for Sunday morning- I have a feeling that's all we'll see this year, but I'll watch for a while yet.

Bit surprised to see the Vikings sign 19 guys and not one of them is from the NSIC. I don't believe they've gone to the NSIC well since Shane Zylstra in 2021. Wonder if their experiment is over?
