Player of interest from the link -

Defensive end George Johnson was productive at Rutgers, but displayed the agility to play outside linebacker at the next level. The 6-4, 265-pound Johnson will be on the minds of 3-4 teams late in the draft.

some updates;

Last season, 25 players from the Texas vs. the Nation game were drafted.

Defensive end/linebackers are a big part of this draft class, and the Texas squad has three guys looking to make that transition. William and Mary star Adrian Tracy is a lanky defensive end, but his speed and counter pass rush moves in one-on-one drills were impressive. He also looked capable of handling coverage responsibilities in the flat, which makes him a valued commodity in a 3-4 scheme.

Rutgers' George Johnson is near the top of the list among defensive ends. At 6-4, 265, Johnson could be a 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 linebacker. His speed and quick hands made it tough for linemen to consistently hold him off.

South Dakota State's Danny Batten played inside and outside linebacker this week and might have sealed a draft spot with his ability to handle anything thrown his way.
