2021



QB-Nate Heywood (James Madison)
Heywood was the captain and leader of the National Champion Dukes. He threw 37 TD's while only amassing 16 interceptions. A player that was destined for Division I football announced after the FCS Championship game that he would be transferring before the next season.

Pros: Heywood possesses a strong arm that has improved dramatically in his one season at the collegiate level. While his 40 time was a lot lower than scouts predicted he shows great game speed especially with the ball in his hand. He his awareness and field vision show great promise despite coming into college as a one read passer. He was coached up at James Madison and his intelligence and discipline should translate well for whichever program lands him.

Cons: Perhaps the biggest question mark that surrounds Heywood is one that kept him from signing with a top tier program in the first place, his attitude. He's a wild kid that is kind of a loose cannon at times. Coaches have concerns if his volatile nature will manifest when the pressure continues to increase. He's not as mobile as teams prefer and will need an offense built around a pocket passer. While he has the potential to be an elite accurate passer he only threw for 55.6% last season against lower tier competition.

Summary: Heywood is a risky but intriguing prospect that could become the next James Sherwood or Jonathan Demartini if he can get his head on straight and fulfill his untapped potential. Look for him to be a top 10 target in the transfer draft.












QB-Frank White (Eastern Kentucky)
Eastern Kentucky fans were quite surprised to see their QB decide to leave school after only one season. White led the team to the playoffs but didn't perform at the level many thought he would when he committed to the program. He was inconsistent and erratic and it showed with his accuracy and high turnover rate.

Pros: White is a gun slinger with a big league arm. He has a very quick trigger and the ball explodes out of his hand. He's very elusive in the pocket and has a knack for avoiding the rush and making plays outside the pocket. He has the potential to see the field and move safeties with his eyes. He has a lot of skills that could make him a top level collegiate QB.

Cons: With his kamikaze style of play comes inconsistency. He hasn't shown the kind of accuracy or intelligence on a weekly basis and that has led to some bad games. While he has good feet to avoid the rush he isn't necessarily fast and sometimes looks likes he's running in sand. He's a very risky player that has had trouble in the classroom with eligibity.

Summary: White has the big time potential to be a steal of this signing period but also monumental concerns that could make him uncoachable and a wasted scholarship. He is a polarizing player that has many scouts scratching their heads in wonder.












RB- Michael Moore (Delaware)
Blue chip prospects don't always find their way to Division I football and Moore is one of the many that had to take a longer route. After committing to Alabama after his senior year of highchool his scholarship was revoked after an off the field incident involving a fight at his highschool. Instead of finding another DI program he decided to stay home an attend Delaware. In his one season with the Blue Hens Moore never showed the big time talent that scouts drooled over. Only rushing for 935 yards and 1 TD while averaging a measly 3.3 yards a carry.

Pros: Moore has elite speed and acceleration for a running back. He is a chizeled specimen that tested as one of the strongest backs in the nation. He has the potential to be elite as a pass catcher as well as a runningback. Has shown above average run blocking skills as well. Very versatile player with top tier level skills when he's motivated.

Cons: From a pure athletic standpoint you can't find many cons but as a technician he has a lot to learn to live up to the high expectations put upon him. Currently he goes down to easily during contact and his hands have been inconsistent. He's a terrible pass blocker and will be liability when asked to protect the QB.

Summary: Moore is one of the most talented players to enter this years recruiting class. He's still raw in some areas and will have to work hard if he wants to live up to expectations. His versatitly and athleticism will garner a lot of interest at the top of the draft.












WR-Clark Barr (Weber St.)
One of the safer recruits to announce his intentions to transfer, Barr has really wowed scouts with his quickness and hands. He wracked up over 1,600 yards receiving last season at Weber St. while catching 14 TD's.

Pros: Barr is lightning off the line and has good to great speed down the field. He has the potential to be a great hands catcher. His route running and bump and run avoidance has continued to show signs of growth as he gets more college coaching. A player that has the skills to play the slot as well as outside, he isn't afraid to mix it up in the run game.

Cons: A player with great potential is still far from a finished project. He's not the best with the ball in his hands and doesn't show a tenacity to break tackles. While he has great speed it's not elite and he'll struggle to take the top off a defense as consistently as some of the best wr's in the NCAA.

Summary: Barr is a top tier talent that will realistically live up to the expectations scouts have heaped upon him. He may not be electric after the catch but he has enough juice and skills that he will find holes in the defense and make a lot of plays for whichever team is lucky enough to sign him.












TE-Johnny Simmons (Northern Arizona)
Simmons is only 6'2" but he has shown a propensity to making big catches in his one year of college football. His 412 yards might not seem like a lot but considering the team was three WR offense his touches were limited.

Pros: Simmons has big soft hands and only dropped one pass all season. He has explosion and great footwork when it comes to route running as well as avoiding the jam off the line. He's great in traffic and is a beast with the ball in his hands. He has elite blocking skills and is like having an extra tackle on the line if he's asked to block in the run game or against the rush.

Cons: Simmons has shown to be pretty smart on the football field but has made some bad decisions off of it. His only concern is himself.

Summary: Simmons has the potential to play many positions and has scouts drooling over his athleticism and skills. If he can keep his head right he could evenutally become an elite collegiate player.



DT-King Taylor (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi)
The FCS Defensive Player of the Year King Taylor was a menace to the opposition last season. His 31 sacks and 87 hurries opened a lot of people's eyes especially since he was overlooked on the national stage coming out of highschool.

Pros: Taylor is a squatty DT that is very good with leverage and plays the run extremely well. He has an array of pass rush moves and is improving his technique each game. Taylor is a productive player that plays above the level his ability should allow.

Cons: He doesn't have elite speed or quickness but relies on his moxy and smarts. There's a lot of growth to do in his pass rush and tackling techniques. While he's not weak at the point of attack, he's not overpowering for a player that produced at the level he did in Texas.

Summary: Interesting buzz surrounding one of the best players in the FCS. Without possessing mind boggling strenth or speed Taylor will have to absorb the coaching he will get at the next level to fully develop his techniques. Lots of potential for Taylor to be a fine player but he may never dominate like he did in the FCS.












DE-Samuel Castillo (North Dakota St)
One of the most feared pass rushers in the FCS, Castillo is a surefire talent that big schools are drooling to sign. With 27 sacks last season he proved that he can produce when opponents know he's the best player on the field.

Pros: Castillo combines next level power and speed to not only get the edge but also destroy the pocket. He's still developing his technique in both the pass rush and run game but his potential is off the charts. Ideal size and frame for the position and is squeaky clean off the field.

Cons: Castillo is still raw in his technique and will need some time to reach his potential. He doesn't create as many strip fumbles for a player with his production and disruptiveness.

Summary: There's not a lot that this player can't do at the defensive end position. He's aggressive, ferocious and tough. He will likely step in on day one for a team and be one of the best pass rushers in the NCAA.












DE-John Torrez (Montana St)
Torrez is coming off an injury but his eye popping stats are right in line with both Taylor and Castillo. Torrez is the most pollished pass rusher in this class and as he progresses could be one of the more balanced Ends in the league.

Pros: He tested much better than his game tape showed in his straight line speed but his quickness was worse. He's as strong as a bull and is very good at pushing the tackle into to the QB. He piled up an insane amount of hurries for the Bobcats and a lot of this impact is done by his variety of pass rush moves. Was a leader on a team that was field goal away from the title game.

Cons: Has a tendency to pick up injuries and this will be a huge concern for teams going forward. He's had some issues off the field but nothing that should scare away any suitors. While he has potential to be an anchor against the run he's still developing that aspect of his game.

Summary: Torrez tested at a level that is reflected by his production. He's a handful for opponents and should immediately start on most teams.












LB-James Strunk (Central Arkansas)
A productive box backer that plays downhill in the run game but has the ability to drop into coverage like a safety. Very versatile athlete that led Central Arkansas with 114 tackles. He added 6 sacks and showed a developing ability to get pressure on quarterbacks.

Pros: Strunk ticks all the boxes of an elite pure athlete. He's as fast and strong as any linebacker in the nation. He's intimidating and puts fear in pass catchers. His coverage skills are on the verge of top tier if he continues to learn and mature. His tackling and pass rush skills are also developing and could be strengths with more seasoning.

Cons: Despite having the potential to be a big time playmaker Strunk only had 1 interception and 2 forced fumbles last season. Some rumors have been swirling about his attitude and hunger to be great so whoever selects this talent will have to coach him up. He's a developing talent with some room to grow.

Summary: James Strunk is a player that has caught the attention of a lot of teams due to the versatility of his skill set. He's got incredible athleticism and has an array of talents that make him a fit in any system. Despite all the hype Strunk comes with a diva attitude and less than stellar work ethic. To fully unleash this beast he will need to go to a team that knows how to get the best out of him on, and off, the field.












CB-James Sever (Montana)
One of the better strories in the FCS' inaugural season, James Sever was a 2 star highshool prospect that didn't get one FBS scholarship offer. Growing significantly after highschool, Sever also took to the weight and conditioning program at Montana and developed himself into one of the best transfer talents in the land. He picked off 9 passes last season and proved to be an elite level cover guy.

Pros: Sever is fast and has quick feet that allows him to mirror opponents in and out of their breaks. Superior smarts and is known for his work in the film room. On his way to becoming a top level cover man with great punch off the line as he reroutes wrs.

Cons: He's not a blazer and will still get beat deep against the fastest receivers. His tackling and ability to decipher run angles has great potential but it's still a developing skill. He's not a strong player and doesn't bring much in terms of big hits. More timid then most top notch corners and the lack of nastiness has some worried he will be overwhelmed at the next level.

Summary: Sever is the most saught after defensive backs in this signing period but there are some holes and concerns with his game. He shows a lot of heart and want-to as he's developed his body and his skills into a legitimate DI player. On the flipside, there's concerns about his swag and if he has what it takes to be a #1 cover guy. In a league drooling over defensive backs it won't take long for Sever to hear his phone ring.

2022


QB-Robert Rexford (North Dakota St.)- Without question the FCS's most dominant player last season was the Bison's Robert Rexford. He threw 43 TD's while only committing 11 interceptions. His accuracy and poise make him one of the most intriguing prospects to declare for the 2022 transfer draft. Rexford is a mobile and disciplined passer that has the potential to be an instant starter for a Division I program. While his potential is off the charts he comes with some added baggage. Some scouts think his ego has the same potential as his arm and many schools are concerned that he won't be the same player against top competition. Will Rexford excel in the limelight like a former FCS transfer Frank White, or will he have a tough transition like Alabama's Nate Heywood? Only time will tell.




RB-Ed Dalton (Eastern Kentucky)- Dalton had a disappointing two years at Eastern Kentucky. In his first season Dalton was relinquished to a backup role where he only touched the ball a few times. After taking over the starting job a season ago he rushed for 1,221 yards but only managed to score 2 touchdowns. His pedestrian 3.8 ypc was also concerning for scouts as they study his tape meticulously. Dalton has always possessed very good vision and running skills but just lacks the breakaway speed to be elite. A very good leader and locker room presence, Dalton's isn't an outspoken or flashy personality. For him to really excel with a power school he will need to play behind a solid offensive line that will give his talents more room to maneuver.




WR-Thomas Schmidt (Stephen S. Austin)- Schmidt is a three star athlete that has grown into his body at the collegiate level. His production at Stephen S. Austin has been off the charts in the last two seasons. Averaging a little over 1,800 yards receiving and 10.5 TD's, Schmidt feels it's time to take his game to the next level. He's not a blazer and will most likely emerge as a solid #2 WR but he has great hands and balance. His feet are quick and his route running make up for his lack of deep speed. His 8 drops are a concerning but most coaches think it's a concentration problem and not his hands. Like Dalton, Schmidt is a solid locker room personality that should eventually become a leader with experience.




TE- Tyrone Jackson (Eastern Kentucky)- After a slow start in his first season where he only accrued 558 yards and 3 TD's, Jackson hit his stride this season. he almost doubled his yardage total and led the team with 10 TD's on his way to becoming the top TE prospect in the FCS. The natural progression for this budding star was to declare his intentions to transfer to a big school and really showcase his talents for the pro scouts. Jackson has elite athleticism and physical traits combined with the potential to be one of the best all around talents in the nation. With only one year of high level production Jackson is still raw and has a lot of growth to do if he wants to reach his lofty expectations. Jackson will need a coach that will be on his **** from the first day he steps on campus. His aloof attitude and relaxed nature will need proper motivation if he's to become the next Patrick Gould like scouts think he can become.




DT- Brandon Shih (Liberty)- Liberty has done a very good job with the FCS's top defensive lineman in 2018. In his first season at Liberty Shih was a solid piece to the defensive front but after hitting the weights and training hard with the Liberty staff over the summer he transformed himself into a possible day one NFL draft pick. Shih is a well rounded athlete that is equally adept in the run game as he is at getting after QB's. His burst isn't top level but he makes up for it with his pure strength and saavy hands. His 31 sacks bested the next player by 8 as he completed a remarkable season for the Flames. Riding the momentum of his breakout 2018 campaign Shih is hoping to keep improving and working as he takes his talents to the next level.




DE- Fred McMorrow (Southern Utah)- One of the most consistent performers in the FCS, McMorrow has shown that he can be a dominant player on any defensive line. Despite the consistent statistics, scouts are amazed that a man with his size and attributes isn't more dominant. He's fast, quick and strong with the potential to do everything at an elite level. Scouts are hoping that a light switch just clicks on and this elite player will take off. If he can adapt to the Div. I level and continue to improve his game he may be the most talented prospect to throw his hat into this recruiting draft.




DE-Robert Saucedo (Weber St.)- After a breakout 2017 campaign where Saucedo piled up 28 sacks he saw his production dip this past season. One of the top highschool players in the country coming out of in 2016, Saucedo has had a difficult time with his grades and ultimately it curtailed his ability to get into Division I football. He's battled soft tissue injuries as well as constant double teams this past season leading to a disappointing 14 sacks. Simialr to McMorrow, Saucedo has elite level skills that should translate nicely into the NCAA. If he can keep his head in the books, stay healthy and continue to improve he should be a very productive, if not dominant, player for whoever calls his name.




LB/DB- Ming Merciless (Montana St.)- Merciless is a great way to describe this versatile phenom. A former LB that has the potential to be a box-to-box terror on the second level, Merciless was elite at the safety position while at Montana St. His 10 interceptions are just a preview of the potential at defensive back. With an offseason to cut weight Merciless can become a top level safety or cornerback. He has the coverage skills to play on the outside and the stregth in bump and run to redirect even the strongest wr's. Whoever lands Ming will have a versatile chess piece that can fill multiple roles and be elite at them all. Going into the offseason Merciless projects as a 5-star talent that is perhaps the top guy available.




LB-Michael Dore (Southern Utah)- In a surprise move Southern Utah's Michael Dore has decided he's ready to move on from the team. There's rumors that it was a mutual termination of his scholarship as he has had a few run ins with head coach Christopher Cox. Dore is a former 2 star athlete out of highschool that has improved and dominated at he FCS level. He is listed as SLB but he's been used as a hybrid LB/pass rusher for the Thunderbirds. His speed and tenacity make him an ideal fit for an aggressive defense that likes to play attack football. He's also very light on his feet and can cover at a high level. Dore is a poor man's Merciless to an extent, due to his versatility and skillset. The dismissal from school, coupled with the attitude makes Dore a player that could see his stock slide.




DB-Mike Foley (Towson)- Listed as a free safety coming into the offseason Foley was no question a #1 corner in the FCS. His speed and coverage skills puts him alongside Merciless as one ofthe best dbs in the recruiting class. Foley emerged as the FCS's top defensive back after hauling in 11 interceptions and a 36.6 comp%All for Towson. He's an aggressive DB that is not afraid to throw his body in on the running game. A little oversized at 216 lbs but with a proper weight regimen should gain some speed as he settles in at his new school. Not a surefire star with much room to grow but he's definitely a raw talent that has the potential to be a top flight talent at a premium position.




2023

WR Frederick Mitchell (Liberty)

Mitchell is coming off a year in which he led the Flames to the FCS National Title and proved for the second straight year that he is ready for Division I competition. For the second straight year he caught 18 TD passes and provided huge play ability for Liberty. About as steady as they come, Mitchell is a good kid that comes into the NCAA with very little question marks. He still is improving on his route running but as Juco transfer he brings and experience and feel for the passing game that many true freshman just can't compare. Look for Mitchell to be a very sought after recruit when the draft begins.






CB John Curley (Youngstown St.)

One of the most dynamic playmakers to put his name in the hat for a transfer is Youngstown State's John Curley. Curley has the potential to be a similar athlete to Alabama's David Orange if he can get his head on straight. One of the knocks on Curley was his mediocre speed at the college level. Working all offseason at IMG academy that myth has been debunked as he has consistently improved his 40 time. His acceleration is top level but outside of his physical traits Curley is a work in progress. He has been known as lockeroom cancer or distraction wherever he has played and that makes him one of the riskier prospects in 2023. If a team can get him to recognize his potential he may be one of the better cover guys in the NCAA. On the flip side, he may never become nothing more than a physical freak.






QB Uncle Rico (Montana St.)

One of the more recognizable names to declare for a transfer is Montana State's Uncle Rico. Rico was persuaded by the school's decision to move their campus to Idaho. Rico has been piling up stats at an astronomical rate in Bozeman so it's not surprising that many scouts are excited about his addition to the recruitment pool. Coming from a spread offense Rico posesses a very strong and quick trigger. His accuracy has been up and down in his career but he has shown potential to be prolific. Why not a great athlete, he does have a good feel for the pocket and is intelligent in and out of rhythm. Very consistent and talented leader that will immediately offer a team a steady player to build around.






LB William Becker (Murray St.)

Becker comes into the league as an experienced cover linebacker that is very proficient while matching up against backs and tightends in space. He has never boasted the impact speed that some coaches look for in their linebackers but he has shown that he is very well rounded. Last season he accumulated 30 hurries and 7 sacks to go with the 82 tackles. A scholar athlete that is known on campus for his philanthropy moreso than his gridiron savagery. Whoever lands Becker will have a great person as well as player for the next 11 years.






DE Eugene Alley (James Madison)

Alley has been a consistenty piece for James Madison in the last three seasons. After compiling 7 sacks as a freshman he has amassed 12 in each of the last two. Alley has good speed and strength for the collegiate level but his overall feel for the game has scouts wishing for more. With off the chart potential Alley has never proven to be a hard worker and is often seen taking plays off. For him to land a starting role for a power school he will need to really concentrate on his motor and making sure his technique improves or he'll find himself a career backup.






RB Alexander Rice (Montana St.)

Rice broke onto the seen for the Bobcats last season as a true freshman and won the starting job. He compiled a respectable 996 yards and 3 TD's but after hearing the news about the University's future he joined QB Rico with his exit papers. As a prospect Rice comes to the league with tree trunk thighs and an incredible strength that will prove invaluable in short yardage situations but he doesn't have the wiggle or lateral quickness to make guys miss in the open field. While he shows decent hands he seems quite uncomfortable when asked to run routes or pass block which may curtail his ability to be an every down back. He does have break away speed for his size that will open some scout's eyes. Pettis brings some freakish physicality but his learning curve is steep and will prove to be the deciding factor on whether or not he will be a big time player.






QB John Fox (Dartmouth)

Not too often you see an Ivey League QB decide to transfer to a football powerhouse. While Fox isn't a surefire star, he has NFL talent that if harnessed right, can make him the top quarterback in the class. He doesn't come in with the same production of a Rico but his potential reminds me of last year's QB Robert Rexford. Fox is one of the most athletic QB's to come into the NCAA in years and if his accuracy continues to trend up he could be a very multi-dimensional threat. Coming from Dartmouth it's a given that his intelligence is off the charts so he'll need to cope with the overall lack of arm talent with his instincts and adaptability.






DT James Sunseri (Yale)

Sunseri is a stout natural defensive tackle prospect. He isn't elite in any aspect but he brings a consistent effort and a motor that is inveiable. The problem that Sunseri has faced is his understanding of the game. At times he will break through the line and show great quickness only to completely blast by the rusher leaving a lane completely wide open. His feel for angles and shedding blockers leaves a lot to be desired. He does have potential and with the right leadership and tutelage he may be able to improve in his awareness. Sunseri may never become a top line starter but could bring valuable depth to an NCAA team.






FS Adalberto Byers (Idaho)

Byers has decided to leave Idaho after a disappointing three year camaign that saw the Vandals fail to reach a bowl game. Byers has not graded out as a top tier defensive back by the metrics but he has shown valuable leadership and timely playmaking ability. Last season he eclipsed his career high in interceptions as he nabbed 4. Combined with his intelligence Byers has shown the feet and hips to cover if asked. He will need to really take to NCAA coaching if he is to find a starting role at the NCAA level. Lot's of work for Byers to make the kind of impact teams want out of a free safety.






TE Thomas Fanelli (Towson)

Fanelli was an inspiring story coming out of high school but just never seemed to find his footing at Towson. After catching 559 yards and 4 TD's this last season he decided it was time to find a new home. Fanelli has the strength and skills to play anywhere on offense but his potential to be a great inline tightend makes him intriguing to teams. He's still immature and for some reason hasn't put it together in three years in an elite offense. It might be asking too much for him to finally realize his potential but i'm sure there are teams that are willing to give him a shot. A classic boom or bust type of prospect, Fanelli offers a rare versatility that makes him more valuable than his production would merit.




2024

QB Raymond Levine (James Madison)

Levine put up video game statistics in his last year at James Madison and took advantage of this momentum by deciding to move on to a Div I program. Levine has some great qualities like his pin point accuracy and explosive release that compliment his elusiveness in and out of the pocket. Unfortunately he has some issues with his middle of the road arm strength and intelligence. Levine may not ever reach 5 star status but he has a lot of potential and has shown the ability to rally the troops while showing the "it" factor. Very hot prospect moving up boards as teams really look to secure the most important position on the team.




RB Michael Snyder (Dartmouth)

Snyder finally broke out last season with Dartmouth and showed just what he's capable of doing. Surpassing the 1,000 yard mark for the first time in his career he also lead the team with 11 rushing TD's. He has the characteristics of an everydown workhorse back. Has great feet and power with soft hands and great agility in space. The one aspect of his game that scouts have reservations about is his lack of homerun speed. He is very comparable to last year's Freshman All-American Lencho Wicks.




WR Reid Axtell (Southern Utah)

Axtell is a speedy homerun hitter. Used as a running back at Southern Utah, Axtell showed the ability to make people miss and get the edge but doesn't possess the power to be an inside chain mover. His inability to secure the ball and knack for drops has hurt his status in the process but many think he will bring incredible gamechanging moments that could change games at the next level.




TE Joseph Chow (Western Illinois)

Chow has become a very hot prospect in the last few weeks due to his versatility as an inline tightend. He has incredible receiving skills to compliment his top level blocking ability. A player some programs are looking at as a left tackle, Chow compares very well with last year's top tightend Thomas Fanelli. Chow is a locker room leader and looks to be about as clean as it gets with his background checks.




G German Nam (Central Arkansas)

One of the top interior lineman in the class, Nam has elite feet and mobility. His well rounded game is still developing but he has the potential to be a superstar at any of the spots along the line. One red flag popped up during medical checks is a knee problem that may be concerning. If the knee checks out Nam could develop into an All-American type talent but it's if the knee is debilitative it could really change the course of his future.




DE Amos Cooper (Eastern Kentucky)

Cooper is one of the most coveted players on the market in this year's class. Equally adept stopping the run as he is getting after the QB, Cooper comes into the draft with no real question marks about his future. Cooper is currently ranked #2 prospect by Rivals.com




DE Micheal Henrich (Yale)

One of the FCS' best sack artists in his last season at Yale Henrich has a very high ceiling due to his rawness and untapped potential. Despite showing good measurables at his workouts he has mental lapses and doesn't quite look natural when utilizing his array of pass rushing moves. One of the classic boom or bust prospects in this year's class, Henrich will make or break someone's program in year one.




WLB Alvin Cutright (Stephen F. Austin)

Cutright is a very explosive athlete that excelled in Lumberjack's defense last year. The top LB recruit according to Rivals.com, Cutright has the skills to move to defensive back where his coverage and speed could be best suited. A very skillful playmaker that could see many schools fighting over his rare talents.




CB Phillip Bowling (UC Davis)

Bowling has underachieved while playing at the FCS level but his skill set makes him an intriguing prospect for the NCAA. He showed signs of improving his ball skills as he picked off a career high 5 passes last season. He has top level coverage ability but his biggest weakness is his strength and redirect skills when engaging a receiver at the line. Possibly better suited for safety or nickel corner, Bowling is a very inconsistent athlete. With the right coaching he could really explode on the scene due to his fluidity and speed.




FS Louis Peden (Towson)

Peden has good size for a safety and many scouts peg him as a good LB prospect at the Div I level. Not a straight line speedster, Peden has great quickness and burst. One of the most well rounded prospects in the nation, Peden should offer a great deal of versatility to the team that is able to coax him into committing.
