He had an 81 yard kickoff return, two punt returns for 33 yards and two receptions for 11 yards
That's how you make the team as an UDFA
He is gifted, plus he had a year in Coach Cignetti's/Shanahan's system.
Love that for him. Dude is a stud. Can't wait for IU to challenge Bama for most NFL-ers in the league one day (only slightly kidding, I really believe we can get there).

@evanalvarez8 Elite teams in college football typically send 8 to 10 guys to the NFL who crack a roster.
After just 1 year of C1G, we are already knocking on the door of that. It looks like 6 of our guys from last year are going to be on the 53 man roster:
Rourke
West
Price
Carpenter
Horton
Williams
And Im shocked Walker isnt on a team.
When I tell people I think IU has the talent to make the semi-finals this year (barring injury), its because we fit the NFL talent criteria. People talk about the blue chip ratio, I will take proven talent over HS rankings any day.
I dont think all of these guys make a NFL roster (or even choose to go pro after this season), but I think at least 8 to 10 will:
Kamara
Fisher
Ponds
Sarratt
Mendoza
Smith
Coogan
Hemby
Black
Cooper
Staes
Ferrell
Williams
Evans
Sharpe
Tucker
@hoosierdaddy Absolutely agree with everything you said. It's an exciting time!
