Two More Defenders Leave School Early

Louisville Junior LB Lamar Myles will enter the 2008 Draft. Along with his teammate, Senior LB Malik Jackson, Myles stood out on an otherwise disappointing Cardinals defense, leading the team with 128 tackles (including an impressive 22 tackles against Kentucky), while also forcing and recovering 3 fumbles. The 6’1,” 220 lb. Myles is a hard-hitter who brought a refreshing level of consistency to the field in 2007. In what projects to be a solid draft at the LB position, Myles faces the prospect of having to wait until the 3rd Round or later to be selected.

NC State Junior S DaJuan Morgan will also enter the NFL Draft. The 6’1,” 200 lb. Morgan was quite productive for the Wolfpack this past season, leading the team with 97 tackles while adding 3 interceptions and 6 pass breakups. Morgan is versatile, having played both Safety positions in college, although he will probably be a Free Safety in the NFL. Outstanding workouts could propel Morgan to the 3rd Round of the Draft, but in all likelihood, he will hear his name called somewhere in the middle rounds.
