S.C. State hosts NFL Pro Day

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Ten South Carolina State seniors took the field on Wednesday for the university's Pro Day, hoping to show NFL scouts their abilities to earn a spot on a team's roster.

Inside Oliver C. Dawson Stadium, Kory Brown, Andrew Carter, Devin Flowers, Curtis Hill, Justin Hughes, Dennis Rowe, Austin Smith, Alex Glover, Cephas Wilson and Domanic Wilson each got a chance try to impress scouts, who represented the NFL's San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals.

"I feel good about my performance, I ran a good 40 and ran a good 60 drill," Hughes, a linebacker, said.

Hughes, who stepped up to replace the former MEAC and SBN Defensive Player of the Year, Joe Thomas, was an third-team All-MEAC preseason selection.

He said that he hopes to impress scouts with his explosiveness and speed.
