Draft Zone Spotlight: Dexter McCoil, S, Tulsa University
Draft Zone Spotlight: Dexter McCoil, S, Tulsa University
Dexter McCoil is probably one of the most underrated football players in the 2013 NFL Draft. I don’t know why media people are not pumping this guy more.

Draft Zone Spotlight: Trent Dupy, C, Tulsa University
Trent Dupy might not be the biggest center in the NCAA, but darn it his heart is the biggest. Dupy led the Tulsa football team to a great record this year and was a leader in the huddle.
