The native of Estonia, a world junior champion in both events, wanted to learn from Dave Wollman, famed track and field coach at Southern Methodist University. When SMU decided to close shop on its track and field program, Hunt was left in a lurch, facing the prospect of having to head back to the northern European country and away from Wollman. Wollman suggested Hunt try out for the football team, even though Hunt had never played the game. Four years later, Hunt finds himself heading to Cincinnati to play in the NFL. The Bengals selected Hunt with the second of their two picks in the second round of the NFL Draft Friday night. While hes still learning the game, the 6-8, 277-pound Hunt was too intriguing of a prospect for the Bengals to pass up even though defensive line is the most productive and deepest group on their roster. His story is unique, said head coach Marvin Lewis.

Hunt grew up in Estonia and went to SMU for track and field. He joined the football team in 2009 when the school dropped track and field Cincinnati used its first two picks on offense. They took Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert with the 21st overall pick in the opening round. Cincinnati got running back Giovani Bernard from North Carolina with the first of their two picks in the second round. That one completed their 2011 deal with Oakland for quarterback Carson Palmer. The Bengals also reached agreement on a three-year deal with right tackle Andre Smith on Friday.

Hunt is a tremendously gifted athlete who possesses great speed, agility and explosiveness. This was fully on display during the 2013 NFL combine, but a big question arises when we compare his play during actual football games as opposed to his workout in Indianapolis. Hunt flashes great speed on tape and can really get up the field to rush the passer, but he is overly reliant on his speed at this time, ignoring the bull rush almost entirely. He is quick enough to split a gap with a subtle lateral move, but he is limited with his hand usage and loses power at the line of scrimmage when he allows his pad level to get too high. When he doesn't play with good leverage, he looks like an average athlete without any elite traits at all.

Neither knew football just a few years ago. Both could go in the first round of Thursday night's draft. Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah of BYU and Margus Hunt of SMU are very different players, but they present similar tantalizing yet puzzling situations for prospective NFL suitors. Both are older prospects, yet might have their best football in front of them. And though both need polish and might not yet fully grasp the game at its highest level, both possess rare qualities and potentially game-changing ability. In today's NFL, players who can get to the quarterback are as in demand as ever. FROM THE BLOC TO BLOCKING KICKS "Nothing, really," is what Hunt knew about football when he came to American in 2006.

Still just 26, and an elite-level talent, Rasmus is presently slugging .536. He’s a center fielder who clubs like a DH, and his slugging percentage is beating those of Albert Pujols and Anthony Rizzo. Rasmus owns a 135 wRC+, which was Joe Morgan‘s career wRC+. It’s a better wRC+ than those being posted by Carlos Beltran, Andrew McCutchen, and Michael Morse. Rasmus is finally coming into his own, and he’s looking like the superstar the Blue Jays have wanted him to become. Colby Rasmus is a nightmare. For every seven plate appearances, he’s struck out three times, whiffing more often than batters have whiffed against Max Scherzer. His on-base percentage is being supported by a lofty BABIP, and Rasmus has swung through the ball with nearly half of his swings. With nearly half of his swings! Rasmus’ approach has shown no signs of improvement, and it looks like he’s going to continue to be exploitable for as long as he’s a part of the game. We have some plate-di...

MARGUS HUNT, DEFENSIVE END, SMU If the NFL Combine didn’t exist, Margus Hunt might not vulnerable to becoming a bust. Quite simply, nobody paid attention to the 6’8, 280 lbs defensive end until he blew scouts away at the combine with his freakish workout-warrior numbers. He posted eye-popping numbers during two events at the combine: 40 yard dash and bench press. He ran the 40 in 4.6 seconds and put up 38 reps of 225 lbs on the bench. At first glance, this numbers scream “Draft this guy!, He’s a beast!” Ok, he is a beast. He is likely a member of a small fraction of people on the planet who have his combination if size, strength and speed. But should anyone really be surprised by that? Hunt is a world-class shot-putter and discus thrower. He originally came to the United State fr...

But look deeper into the group, which will be at Cowboys Stadium on Wednesday, and you find lower-profile names that could end up being selected by their "hometown" team in the NFL Draft or signed as undrafted free agents in the hours following the draft process. And I've collected from inside Valley Ranch eight names that the Cowboys personnel department is interested in examining: 1 RJ Washington, Oklahoma DE High-quality guy who may be a 7th-round-level talent. 2 Ja'Gared Davis, SMU, LB May be an undrafted signee. 3 Damontre Moore, Texas A&M, LB A first-round talent slipping in the eyes of some. 4 Taylor Reed, SMU, LB -- May be an undrafted signee. 5 Zach Line, SMU, FB Could fill a sixth-round-or-later need. 6 Darius Johnson, Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:37:42 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/cowboys_dallas_day_draft_eligible_invitees/13357816 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/cowboys_dallas_day_draft_eligible_invitees/13357816 Cowboys 'Dallas Day' draft-eligible invitees http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/cowboys_dallas_day_draft_eligible_invitees/13357816 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Margus Hunt/SMU:   Skills/Attributes: Raw, athletic freak who flashes great things but has a long way to go to become a complete player.

His day could be filled posing with some of the hottest women on the planet, often in provocative positions. Instead he is going to be sweating his pretty little face off under the hot Texas sun as he fights for playing time with the SMU Mustangs while someone whose idea of high fashion includes coaching shorts and tube socks pulled up past their knees yells at him. Oh--and living off the same stipend as every other scholarship athlete with the program. It is hard not to appreciate where the kid is coming from. He is young, he loves football, and he wants to play. He is not real confident that the modelling gig is going to last so he wants to get an education and play football while he still can.

Austin was dominating SMU. Then SMU's Margus Hunt came up with a record-setting field goal block and the offense got traction behind the running of Zach Line. But most of all in Saturday's 52-0 win, an SMU defense that was the worst in the nation in turnover margin last season produced 10 turnovers. The Mustangs scored 28 points off two fumble returns, and interception return and a blocked field goal return. "We've been asking for turnovers," SMU coach June Jones said, almost in disbelief. "We finally got some." SMU picked off six passes Saturday night, matching its interception total for all of last season when the Mustangs ranked 120th in turnover margin. They also recovered four of SFA's five fumbles. "That was a strange one," Jones said. "That was pretty exciting to watch our defense take the football away so many times.

Not only do Line and his fellow seniors want to win the Conference USA title after falling just short in 2010, but they also want to cap off their collegiate careers by helping guide the Ponies to a fourth straight bowl game, a streak that many considered practically impossible just a few short years ago. The Michigan native is a preseason All-Conference USA pick and has been a first team all-conference performer for June Jones' Mustangs both as a sophomore and junior. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound running back comes off a season where he ran for 1,224 yards to lead C-USA and scored 17 touchdowns. He averaged 122.4 yards per game, most in C-USA and seventh-most in the nation, numbers that become all the more impressive considering he missed the final three games of last season due to a foot injury. As a sophomore, he ran for 1,494 yards, second-most in school history, behind only Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson. SMU started two-a-days earlier this month in preparation for its Sept. 2 opener at Baylor and Line can't help but realize he is indeed starting his final season on the Hilltop. "You don't realize how fast things did go. I came in to play linebacker and was thrown into a position where I could have a key role on the team not just on the field, but that allows you to lead by example. It's kind of cool to see where the program has gone since I've been here," he said. "It's been a constant rebuild since the death penalty but I think SMU has gotten over the hump and made some great strides. It's a cool thing to be part of all of that." And in what has to be considered nothing short of great news for all Mustang fans, his foot is completely healed and Line is now ready to finish what has been a stellar career at SMU with an exclamation point. "Yeah, the foot was a six-month healing process so after six months, it got cleared. Obviously, didn't feel 100 percent right at six months, but that running and cutting I had to get comfortable with it again. It was more of a mental thing for me," he said. "I didn't trust it because I'd been in the boot for so long and I'd had an insert in my shoe for so long that finally this summer I started pushing my boundaries. During camp I haven't felt any lingering effects from the injury." He originally came to University Park as a linebacker but was instantly switched to running back and played as SMU's short yardage back early on in his collegiate career. And as he thinks back to when he first arrived on campus, he can't help but realize how much he's truly changed since he was a freshman who didn't know what to expect in a new environment. "Well, I came from Michigan. I'm used to having my parents around to kind of help me through stuff and manage my time a little better, but since I've been here I've really grown up. It really reinforces you're not young anymore. You need to manage your money, manage your time, pick the right friends," Line said. "I think I've just learned the right types of people to hang out with, who will get me to where I need to be and what I need to do to better myself as a football player, a student athlete and a person." One interesting thing about his final season at SMU is that he will share the experience of being a senior with his younger brother Prescott, who like Zach, was a standout high school linebacker back in their home state of Michigan who made the switch to offense upon arriving at SMU and playing for Jones. "I think it's bigger for him than for me. I've kind of gotten into my routine down here. I know how things go but I know how hard it is to come down here without anybody down here. It's awesome because he's one of my best friends. So it's awesome to hang out with him while teaching the offense," Line said. "He's in that walking stage now. There's walking, crawling and then you run. I'm just trying to help him learn the offense as fast as possible because on good teams the seniors have got to help the freshmen grow up fast so they can play." During his first three seasons with the Ponies, he has been a top-notch running back and a big focal point of the SMU offense. But one part of his game that has been somewhat overlooked is his ability to be a receiver out of the backfield. His career high for receptions was the 17 catches he had in 2010 for 163 yards, a total he could eclipse in 2012 as he is now more comfortable as a receiver than ever before. "They haven't really utilized me much in the past years catching the ball out of the backfield other than screen passes. More this camp, I've kind of been jumping in there. I think just getting confidence more in my hands this camp. That's all it really is-having confidence and just catching the ball every day," Line said. As a freshman, he was part of a 2009 SMU team that won the Hawaii Bowl and ended a bowl drought for the Mustangs that had dated back to the Pony Express days of 1984, some 25 years. The Ponies have been to a bowl game in each of his three seasons and now he and his fellow seniors want to close out their college careers in a fourth and final bowl game, which would be quite an achievement for Jones and the program, especially considering what a low point SMU football was at when June was hired to turn things around in 2008. "That's huge. A lot of the guys that are still here with me, we've been here for all of them and we all think the same thing. It's an awesome thing that we are the class that helped turn things around," Line said. "We were able to come in with some of the older guys that had gone 1-11 and you could see just how bad this program was. When we went to Hawaii, you could see the fans and the community has started to change. They still didn't buy in but as we started going to more and more bowl games, it becomes a winning tradition. Now we expect to go and if we're not there something needs to change." But in a way, the evolution of Zach Line since coming to SMU in 2009 has mirrored the development of the Mustangs over the same span of time. He originally came to the Hilltop as a linebacker, switched to running back, first seeing time as a short yardage back before then becoming a focal point of the Pony offense as a sophomore. Line has never looked back, has continued to lead by example and has developed into the second-best running back in SMU history, ranking behind only some guy named Dickerson. And to think Zach still has one year left to ink his name further into the school record books, which should make keeping tabs on how he fares as a senior interesting to say the least.

No Mustang scored in double figures, Robert Nyakundi led the Mustangs with nine points. The Mustangs really lowered the bar in basketball futility. SMU scored 12 points in the first half, setting a school record. The Mustangs' 28 points is the lowest point total since 1956 when SMU scored 26 points against TCU, those were the days of the two handed set shots and no shot clock.Here's SMU head coach Matt Doherty's explaination.

The Mustangs won in overtime 40-33. Apparently, that wasn't enough, and it looks like the SMU ticket office is adding their two cents worth.SMU announced yesterday they are a ticket package to see their remaining home games against UCF, Tulane, Navy, and Rice. The cost of the tickets? $40.33 for all four games. See the above paragraph for the joke.  From the official SMU ticket officeIt's always a good move when a rivalry takes a step closer to the edge of the cliff. But hey, this is a good deal. Four games for $40.33?

TCU coach Gary Patterson was deeply-offended by what he believed to be bad calls by a Conference USA officiating crew. Patterson was so offended by the calls and SMU wide receiver Darius Johnson saying, "I don't like these TCU people," that he would actually mind to keep SMU out of the Big East if they came asking for the school. SMU replied to TCU's coaches with actions this week.
