Two U.B. Bulls Drafted

For the first time in school history, two U.B. Bulls football players were drafted. Defensive end Trevor Scott was taken by the Raiders in the 6th round. Center Jamey Richard was the Colts choice in round 7. The last Bull drafted was Drew Haddad, by the Bills in 2000. Bulls punter Ben Woods is expected to sign as a free agent.
Think about this. The Bulls get two players drafted. Among the big-time schools that had none drafted....Alabama, Texas Tech, Syracuse, Washington, Stanford and Oklahoma State.
Two other WNY natives went undrafted, but will get a shot in the NFL. Clymer's Jehuu Caulcrick, the big running back from Michigan State, signed with the Jets. Grand Island's Brett Kern, a punter from Toledo, signed with the Broncos.
Its been a good run for local football players. Last year, two were drafted (Darren Stone of Lockport by Atlanta, Corey Graham of Buffalo by Chicago.)
