Scouting the Las Vegas Bowl

BYU finally makes it back to the post-season while Cal once again returns to a bowl game under coach Tedford. Several interesting prospects along the lines of scrimmage and one terrific underclassman tight end.

BYU

Name	Pos	#	Yr	Rd	Report
Matt Berry	QB	8	4Sr	FA	Physically talented prospect who sits on the bench.  Could get an invite to camp.
Manaia Brown	DT	99	5Sr	4\5	A physical specimen out of position in the Cougars defense.  Could make a move up draft boards in February.
Johny Harline	TE	89	3So	3	Outstanding young pass-catching tight end.
Cameron Jensen	ILB	35	3Jr	6	Solid run defender on the inside.
Lance Reynolds	C	54	4Sr	FA	Hard working blocker yet limited athlete.
Nathan Soelberg	CB	13	4Sr	FA
Naufahu Tahi	FB	3	4Sr	4\5	Quite possibly the most underrated fullback in the country.  A true triple threat player (blocker\ball carrier\pass catcher).
Paul Walkenhorst	OLB	47	5Sr	FA	Once promising prospect whose career was riddled with injury.
Todd Watkins	WR	1	4Sr	4\5	Field stretching receiver coming off a disappointing campaign.  Offers a lot of upside for the next level and could develop into a dangerous number three wide out.

California

Name	Pos	#	Yr	Rd	Report
Andrew Cameron	T	71	4Jr	3\4	Top junior prospect who now has injury questions.
Tosh Lupoi	DE	94	5Sr	FA	Hard working lineman with marginal size and durability.
Chris Manderino	FB	27	5Sr	FA	Aggressive lead blocker yet marginal athlete with limited upside.
Donnie McCleskey	S	21	4Sr	6\7	Instinctive safety with good cover skills yet marginal size\speed numbers.
Aaron Merz	G	65	5Sr	FA	King sized blocker who must better condition himself.
Tim Mixon	CB	22	3Jr	3\4	Developing young cornerback with terrific upside.
Ryan O'Callaghan	T	61	5Sr	6\7	Mammoth lineman who dominates the opposition.  Shoulder injuries are a concern.
Marvin Philip	C	54	6Sr	6\7	Explosive blocker on the inside with limited upside.
Harrison Smith	CB	11	5Sr	5\6	Nice sized defensive back with potential at corner or safety in a zone system.
