Jacksonville State
Offense-
#QB Ryan Perrilloux, 6’2 1/8” 228 4.76 [est.] was the 2004 USA Today offensive player of the year at East St. John's High in Reserve, La., certainly has the tools. Most know the story of his near Texas QB career, however after breaking several team rules: including missing classes and being arrested for using a fake I.D.; subsequently the dual-threat quarterback was dismissed from the Tigers in May 2008. With the exception of 1 minor practice infraction prior to the season opener the JSU career of Perrilloux, has been clean despite Jack Crowe’s tight-ship policies.

This is a player who runs in the low to mid 4.7s and can throw a 65 yard spiral on a line with no extra effort, imagine a mixture of Vince Evans and Jeff Blake and you’d be getting close. A 22 TD/2 INT ratio, is very good, 59% completion percentage is the lowest of his career but his receiving corps deserves some blame for that and his 2154 yards passing are solid but also evidence of an improved running game and 1 missed game.

On a personal level, he has settled down, married and has a child. He is now remarkably focused on football and showing surprising personal maturity. He has proven that, other than his record, he is a real leader on the team. Perrilloux now has 22 passing touchdowns this season, which ties the school single-season record and he broke his own school record after accounting for 29 touchdowns this season. Perrilloux scored JSU’s longest touchdown pass of the season with a 75-yard strike, [most of it through the air and well placed], while he also scored the Gamecocks longest rushing touchdown of the year on a 48-yard run on the Gamecocks’ first possession of the game.

The Perrilloux now has 4,477 passing yards in his two-year career to rank sixth on the school’s career passing yards list and his three passing touchdowns give him 41, which ranks third. He has 14 touchdown passes of more than 20 yards this season. If he’s still on the board late in the 4th and a team like Seattle, Washington, or Carolina passes on him they may come to regret it.

#5 WR James Wilkerson 5'9 <sup>3/8[/] 191191 4.56 [est.] Is the #1 Split End, he is a smallish but quick Bobby Engram clone, he shows a good sense of how to work against man/zone off as well as press coverage, he may actually be able to run faster, but seems to like a few things in terms of technique that make him look slower. Was the #2 last year and has grown into being the #1 target. He had 4 catches for 93 yards, the bulk though 75 yard bomb that was about 65 yard through the air. He’s a nice collegian but nothing special, likely a PUDFA.

#1 WR Greg Smith 6’0 ¼ “ 189 4.51 [est.] Smith, from Atlanta, had 82 receiving yards and a pair of touchdown receptions on the season he averaged 13.67 yards per reception and had touchdown catches of 24 yards and 15 yards . He has good long speed and is improving as a route runner, PUDFA based on upside.

Jr. #8 RB Jamaal Young 5'7" 176 4.52 [est.] 10 Rushes for 93 yards and had 1 48 yards jaunt, that showed tremendous quickness and change of direction. He will need to get stronger and become a force in the return game could by a PUDFA in the future.

Defense-
MLB #45 Alexander Henderson, [sup] 6’0 1/4</sup> 216 4.68 [est.] the highly active Sr. has NFL potential, he has great instincts and is a better than average tackler who can cover the hook, slant, flats area. His future may be at WLB, fast, productive but undersized and not quite a SS projection in terms or athletic ability. Henderson finished the game with 12 tackles, including nine solo tackles in the win; he also added a tackle for a 4-yard loss and a quarterback hurry.

Tennessee Tech
Offense-
11 QB Lee Sweeney 6'2 ^5/8" 226 4.91 [est.] Seems to not quite be all the way back, movement -wise, from a previous knee injury, he did flash passing ability and even moved the safety a bit with his eyes or pump fakes, however he struggled a bit on ball placement on shorter routes, but was shaken up in the 3rd quarter and did not return. Strangely his intermediate passes were more accurate, with good zip. Could be at least a reserve with 2-3 years in a lower than NFL league.

Jr. RB Henry Sailes 5'6 ^7/8 174 4.54 did well despite the fact that he often had to avoid tacklers in the backfield , his future at the next level is likely as a returner, he is quick and strong for his size. In addition to 63 yards rushing on seven carries for Tech and one touchdown, he also had 122 yards on five kickoff returns for a total of 185 all-purpose yards on the day, a PUDFA with a chance on special teams.

Defense-
RS Jr. FS/SS Dustin Dillehay 5'8 ^3/4" 193 4.66 [est.] A former walk-on is now the leader of the defense, when Mitchell played FS he moved over to SS, 7 solo, 1 assist and 1 fumble recovery, always around the ball has 2 picks, was a very good HS QB, just knows how to play. He'll almost get cut or even might get cut but he's the kind a coach will always want back, may be a future special teams maniac. Future PUDFA

Note: Future Flash-
CB/FS #15 Caleb Mitchell 6'0 192 4.53 [est.] may be the best future pro on the TTU roster he flashed coverage skills tackling and range. He played CB and even lined up at FS at times. 4 Tackles, 3 solo, 1 assist, 1 forced fumble, and he has two picks this year including an impressive one versus TSU earlier in the season.
