But that is twice as many as Fort Hays State and, dare I mention, La Tech.

Edit: Add Ferris State, Humboldt State, Wagner, Weber, Yale and Delaware to that list.  We rock when it comes to Pro Draft Selections. 

Okay, and I'm just having some fun.  Don't jump ugly on me.

VALDES-SCANTLING & SENAT SELECTED IN NFL DRAFT

April 28, 2018

 

 

TAMPA, APRIL 28, 2018 – USF wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (St. Petersburg) realized his dream when he was selected in the fifth round with the 174^th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
 
Valdes-Scantling joined defensive tackle Deadrin Senat (Immokalee), selected in the third round by the Atlanta Falcons on Friday, to give USF two selections in the 2018 Draft. He will join former teammate Kofi Amichia in Green Bay. The former Bulls' offensive tackle was selected in the sixth round by the Packers last season.

The two Bulls selected in the draft were part of an American Athletic Conference record 18 players selected in 2018, a mark that bettered the record of 15 set last year.

USF saw its third straight season with multiple selections in the NFL Draft and had its total number of NFL Draft picks rise to 30 in 21 years of the program, 19 of those selected in the last seven drafts.
 
Valdes-Scantling became the second straight USF wide receiver selected in the NFL Draft and the fourth overall. His selection comes on the heels of wide receiver Rodney Adams being taken in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings last year. Both Bulls displayed tremendous speed at the NFL Combine with Valdes-Scantling running a 4.37 40-yard dash in 2018 and Adams a 4.44 in 2017.
 
Valdes-Scantling (5th Round, Pick No. 174): Valdes-Scantling led USF with 53 receptions for 879 yards and six touchdowns in 2017 while averaging 16.6 yards per catch. His 879 receiving yards set a new program season mark as he posted three 100-yard receiving games, including 133 yards and a touchdown on just three catches in the Bulls' Birmingham Bowl victory over Texas Tech. He set a USF career record averaging 17.3 yards per catch in his two seasons and owns two of the top five receiving yardage games in USF history, including 186 yards on 10 catches vs Houston. Valdes-Scantling's 95-yard touchdown reception at UConn last year is tied for the longest reception in USF history and he also posted a 75-yard touchdown run at ECU. A transfer to USF after playing two seasons at N.C. State, Valdes-Scantling finished his collegiate career with 119 receptions for 1,832 yards and 12 touchdowns. The 6-5, 207-pounder was one of the fastest players at the 2018 NFL Combine posting a blazing 4.37 in the 40-yard dash.
 
Deadrin Senat (3^rdRound, Pick No. 90): Senat's selection with the 90^th pick overall was the highest for a Bull since Kayvon Webster was taken in the third round with the 90^thoverall pick by the Denver Broncos in 2013. He is the sixth Bulls' defensive lineman to be selected in the NFL Draft and the first since Aaron Lynch was selected in the fifth round by the San Francisco 49ers in 2014. Senat is USFs' highest defensive lineman selected since Terrell McClain was taken in the third round with the 65^th overall pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2011.
 
A two-time all-conference selection, Senat earned first team honors in 2017 after a career-best year in which he posted 10.5 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks to go with his 66 tackles, which ranked second on the team. The powerful defensive lineman averaged 7.4 tackles per game over his final eight games and capped his career with three sacks vs. Texas Tech in the Bulls' Birmingham Bowl victory. A three-year starter for the Bulls with 36 career starts at defensive tackle, Senat finished his USF career with 179 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks.

Undrafted Free Agency: Bengals signing USF quarterback Quinton Flowers

...

The Bengals have shown great interest in Flowers, but not as a quarterback. At his pro day, the team talked to him and expressed their interest in him as an offensive weapon, whether that is a running back or receiver. Both running backs coach Kyle Caskey and wide receivers coach Robert Bicknell were at USF’s pro day scouting Flowers.

You won’t find a lot of quarterbacks at 5’10”, but Flowers is a dangerous weapon with the ball in his hands, and the Bengals seem to want to utilize that at least in training camp and the preseason.

Haha no worry brother. I, along with many on this board, was expecting maybe on or two more. Regardless, I hope the others get a decent shot at a FA contract and make their dreams come true!
