  04/22/20 - Omar Bayless, rSr/2020, Arkansas State, 6-1, 212 (DS#33 WR) + More +

  There is NFL hope for a few former Arkansas State University players this year, but whether they are drafted is the question. Wide receivers Omar Bayless and Kirk Merritt are the Red Wolves' top prospects. Each played in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in January at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., and each caught a touchdown pass. Bayless went on to work out in the NFL Draft Combine in Indianapolis in February, the lone ASU player who was invited. Bayless -- who measured 6-1, 212 pounds, at the combine -- exploded onto the scene in 2019, tallying 1,653 receiving yards, which ranked second nationally; 17 receiving touchdowns, which was third nationally; and 93 receptions. He was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year. Questions remain about his speed -- he clocked a 4.62 in the 40-yard dash at the combine -- and route-running ability. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  04/06/20 - Cody Grace, rSr/2020, Arkansas State, 6-2, 228 (DS#14 P) + More +

  ASU's pro day, originally slated for March 20, was postponed -- although it's doubtful that it will be made up -- a private workout that Grace had scheduled with an NFL team was canceled, and ASU's weight room inside the team's north end zone facility at Centennial Bank Stadium has closed, all a result of concerns over the coronavirus as the sports world has undergone a shutdown over the last few weeks. Losing the pro day was the biggest setback. It's the rare opportunity for NFL scouts, coaches and executives to come to campus and see the school's pro hopefuls work out. For a player like Grace -- whose position is a specialist, who played for a non-Power 5 program and who wasn't afforded the chance to compete in postseason all-star games or the NFL Draft Combine -- any added NFL exposure you can attract is a benefit.

And had the pro day taken place, it could have potentially led to a few more private workouts with teams. "We [were] kind of riding on how many teams that would have the opportunity to come to pro day," Grace said. "For me personally, I think it would have been nice to have that little bit of extra exposure since we are a small school and don't get that opportunity and didn't get the opportunity to have a pro day. But I think again, it just comes down to the film. "If what you do live and against another team and you do well, I think they're gonna give you the best shot to prove yourself." In three seasons at ASU, Grace did plenty to prove he was one of the nation's best punters. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  2020 NFL COMBINE INVITE: Omar Bayless, WR, Arkansas State,...Bayless ended the regular season with 84 receptions for 1,473 yards and 16 touchdowns while also adding a pair of blocked kicks. His two blocked kicks are tied for the most in the nation, while he ranks second in both receiving touchdowns and yards and tied for 12th in receptions per game (7.0). Bayless has set the single-season Arkansas State and Sun Belt records for receiving yards and touchdowns and 100-yard receiving games (7). His 84 catches stand as the third most in school history. Even with one game still left to play, Bayless is already one of just 19 players this century to combine for at least 84 receptions, 16 receiving touchdowns and 1,473 in a single season. - Arkansas State Football
