2024 Senior Bowl: Two Former FCS Players Shine On Day 1
The top NFL Draft prospects around the country have officially arrived in Mobile, Alabama for the Reese's Senior Bowl.
Four former FCS players will participate this year, headlined by South Dakota State running back Isaiah Davis. Davis will join New Hampshire running back Dylan Laube on the National Team, while Houston Christian EDGE Jalyx Hunt and SEMO wide receiver Ryan Flournoy will be on the American Team.
Below is the latest news and updates from the first day of practices at the Senior Bowl for all four former FCS players.
New Hampshire RB Dylan Laube
One of the biggest stars of Tuesday's practice was former New Hampshire running back Dylan Laube. He showed elite athleticism and an impressive burst with the football. His versatility as a receiver and return specialist will make Laube one of the most interesting prospects throughout the week. Laube was the buzz of the National Team practice and is one of the biggest winners during Day 1 of practices in Mobile.
SEMO WR Ryan Flournoy
SEMO wide receiver Ryan Flournoy was another big winner from Day 1 of practices in Mobile. He shined during the 1-on-1 period and made multiple impressive plays throughout the 7-on-7 period. Flournoy finished the day with zero drops and showed the versatility to play the slot and the physicality to play outside against bigger cornerbacks. It was a big first day for the SEMO product and he will have the chance to raise his draft stock throughout the week.
South Dakota State RB Isaiah Davis
South Dakota State running back Isaiah Davis entered this week with plenty of hype after another All-American season for the Jackrabbits. He did not generate a ton of attention with his Day 1 performance but looked solid in drills throughout the day. I expect Davis to shine later this week as running backs are expected to have more chances to make plays in live scrimmages.
Houston Christian EDGE Jalyx Hunt
Houston Christian EDGE Jalyx Hunt is one of the most interesting prospects in Mobile after starting his career as a safety at Cornell. He measured in at 6-foot-3, 250 pounds this week, and will have a chance to show his skills against some notable Power-Five offensive linemen. He generated some buzz with his physicality in the 1-on-1 session today, including a notable battle with Missouri offensive tackle Javon Foster. Hunt is going to need to shine in pass-rush situations this week and that is where I would expect the attention to be over the next two days of practice.
