Draft Scout Player News

08/31/05 - LB Kellen Pruitt -- The senior linebacker ranked fourth on the team last year with 80 tackles and eighth overall in the Big East with eight tackles per game. Pruitt and fellow linebackers Kelvin Smith and Tommy Harris need to come up big against a West Virginia offense expected to do most of its damage on the ground.

this guy is basically special teams only or bust... he's a local though.

Holy Smokes, what's with all these linebackers? I understand these are training camp/practice squad scrubs at best, but come on. A replacement for Arrington was the only desperate need, and desperate might not even be the right word.

this one is because he's local... right now if i had to bet, mcintosh and havner are the only ones to make the team.
