EagleBank Bowl Wake Forest vs. Navy
Players to watch - Wake Forest:
#59 Aaron Curry, OLB, (rSr), 6-2, 246 - He looks as good as advertised, a lot to like there.
#2 Alphonso Smith, CB, (rSr), 5-09, 190 - not much coverage work against Navy, though he did get a pick on a badly thrown ball. He looked good with his run force against the triple option.
#9 Chip Vaughn, SS, (rSr), 6-2, 214 - I liked this guy, always around the ball.
#43 Stanley Arnoux, ILB, (rSr), 6-1, 240 - He didn't get tested too often up the middle, most of the option runs went outside, but he's worth monitoring his Pro-Day to see how his measurables shake out and whether to consider trying to bring him in as a UDFA - also the color man predicted he would be playing on Sunday.
Players to watch - Navy
#36 Eric Kettani, FB, (Sr), 6-0, 242 - If the Pats didn't have Heath Evans, I'd be very interested in this kid.
Players not on my short list who jumped out at me:
Wake Forest
#17 Brandon Ghee, CB, (rJr), 6-0, 190 - This kid looked like a SS the way he was playing the run force. I think I have a Wake game recorded to watch yet, so I'll be checking him out to see how he looks in coverage.
#96 Boo Robinson, DT, (rJr), 6-2, 325 - The little fellow got some critical penetration to disrupt the option a number of times. From a NT perspective he's worth watching.
Navy
#26 Shun White, RB, (Sr), 5-08, 190 - If BB picks this kid with his 7th round pick we are going to have an interesting Training Camp. He's been assigned to Surface Warfare after he graduates, but that's only because they don't want him showing up the jets on take off - the kid flies.
