BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Next spring, there should be no shortage of talented prospects available for the NFL draft from the SWAC. The conference has a number of great players on both sides of the football.
It has produced some terrific players over recent seasons, including Donald Driver (Green Bay Packers, Alcorn State), Robert Mathis (Indianapolis Colts, Alabama A&M) and Jason Hatcher (Dallas Cowboys, Grambling State).
The following list has some players who could be chosen on draft day or signed as free agents. But any way you cut it, the SWAC has some players to watch this season.
Kejuan Riley/free safety
Alabama State
6-1, 208-pound senior
Riley is probably the No. 1 prospect among HBCU players. He has 19 career interceptions, which makes him the active career leader in the FCS. He should be in the Senior Bowl and should get invited the NFL combine. Riley is a terrific player against the pass and does a good job of covering a lot of ground in the secondary with his quickness and anticipation. He has 20 solo and 32 total tackles along with two interceptions.
