2018 NFL Draft Prospects
Bryan Schor, QB — JMU
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 23 QB
James Madison's signal-caller is ranked the No. 23 quarterback in the 2017 NFL Draft class. Could a big performance on GameDay boost his stock?
Schor is 85 of 123 (69.1 percent) for 1,031 yards, 12 TDs and 5 INT on the season so far. He's also rushed 45 times for 208 yards and 2 TDs.

Raven Greene, FS — JMU
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 24 FS
Greene is the Dukes' second-leading tackler on the season this year with 24 total tackles (10 solo). He's also tied for second on the team with 2 interceptions, and has three pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Last year 23 safeties were drafted, so Greene definitely has a chance to boost his draft stock and make a statement to scouts this weekend.

Aaron Stinnie, OT — JMU
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 27 OT
The No. 27 offensive tackle in the 2017 class according to NFL Draft Scout, Stinnie could really help himself out with a big game. Last year 16 offensive tackles were drafted, including Villanova's Brad Seaton in the seventh round.

Andrew Ankrah, OLB — JMU
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 47 OLB
Andrew Ankrah, listed as a defensive lineman for JMU but ranked as an outside linebacker by NFL Draft Scout, is a big-play machine for the Dukes' defense. He has a team-high 6.0 tackles for loss and has 2 sacks, a QB hit and a fumble recovery to go along with 17 total tackles.
Only 11 players designated as outside linebackers were drafted last year, but 24 defensive ends were selected and in the NFL — depending on the scheme — those positions are practically interchangeable. Just ask former Villanova star Tanoh Kpaassagnon, a defensive end in college who's playing outside backer for the Chiefs after he was the first FCS player selected in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Versatility is key for Ankrah at the next level.

Ishmael Hyman, WR — JMU
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 90 WR
Hyman leads the Dukes with 218 receiving yards on 13 catches, averaging 16.8 yards per reception. He's tied for the team lead with a pair of touchdowns.
Wide receivers are among the most-drafted positions in today's NFL (32 last year) so Hyman could easily find himself on a roster next summer, even if it's more likely after undrafted free agency.

Rob Rolle, FS — Villanova
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 26 FS (injured)
Rolle was one of the top draft prospects in the FCS before his season-ending knee injury against Albany. Before the injury he had 7 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 2 pass breakups and a 63 fumble recovery return in four games.

Cardon Johnson, RB — JMU
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 33 RB (injured)
Johnson was off to a stellar start this year before an injury cut short his season. He had 37 carries for 351 yards and 3 TDs in three games this year.

2019 NFL Draft Prospects
Marcus Marshall, RB — JMU
NFL Draft Scout Rank: No. 37 RB
Marshall has been excellent for the Dukes this season, rushing 58 times for 353 yards and three scores. The former Georgia Tech running back has stepped up after JMU lost Johnson for the season.
