McNeese State
On March 10, 10 team representatives, including Ravens offensive line coach John Matsko, attended to watch 16 players work out outdoors on FieldTurf. The notable prospects were as follows:
OT Kyle Link (6-5 5/8, 303 pounds) ran a 5.47 and 5.45 in the 40, had a 27.5-inch vertical, a 7-foot, 11-inch broad jump, a 4.84 short shuttle, a 7.70 three-cone drill and did 20 bench press lifts.
WR Quinten Lawrence (5-11 7/8, 190 pounds) worked out well. He ran a 4.42 and 4.43 in the 40, did 21 bench press reps and caught the ball extremely well, but did not do the jumps or shuttles due to injury.
Ohio University
Seven team representatives were present to watch six prospects work out on March 12. Four were from Ohio U. and two were from Tiffin University.
Here are the two most notable players from Ohio U.:

Toledo
Two team representatives were there and both were from nearby Cleveland and Cincinnati to watch four players work out on March 12.
The most notable prospect, Nick Moore (younger brother of Saints WR Lance Moore), was present, but chose not to participate. He was measured (6-2 1/8, 198 pounds), but decided to do his drills at Ohio State’s pro day.
These are his numbers from Ohio State, which was run indoors on FieldTurf. He ran a 4.53 and 4.56 in the 40, had a 35-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot, 10-inch broad jump, a 4.18 short shuttle and a 6.91 three-cone drill.
