The Dallas Cowboys Pro Day tour carries on, as schools around the country host a combine-type event on their respective campuses for their draft-eligible talent to show one last piece of their on-field game before next month’s draft.
Last week, we detailed 14 stops that the Cowboys made to begin Pro Day season. And this week, the focus is around a large contigency that includes head coach Brian Schottenheimer, defensive coordinator Christian Parker, vice president of player personnel Will McClay and a handful of scouts making the rounds.
On Monday, the group attended Miami’s Pro Day where expected first-round edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor were on display alongside offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa, nickel cornerback Keionte Scott, quarterback Carson Beck, linebacker Wesley Bissainthe, wide receiver C.J. Daniels, center James Brockermeyer, defensive tackle David Blay and linebaker Mohamed Toure.
On Tuesday, the group is at Texas where they are getting a close-up view of cornerback Malik Muhammad, linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., tight end Jack Endries, offensive guard D.J. Campbell, defensive end Ethan Burke, defensive end Trey Moore, cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau and safety Michael Taaffe. Schottenheimer and Parker had dinner with Hill on Monday night.
The road trip will continue on through the Lone Star State on Wednesday when the Schottenheimer-Parker-McClay party will make its way over to Texas A&M to see defensive end Cashius Howell, wide receiver KC Concepcion, running back Le’Veon Moss, offensive guard Chase Bisontis, offensive guard Armaj Reed-Adams, offensive tackle Troy Zuhn III, offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover, defensive tackle Albert Regis, defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim, linebacker Taurean York, linebacker Scooby Williams, cornerback Will Lee III and cornerback Tyreek Chappell.
The journey with Cowboys’ top brass will conclude on Thursday with a trip to Texas Tech where the Red Raiders have their best overall draft class in program history on display. Expected top-10 pick defensive end David Bailey, expected top-40 pick linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, expected top-100 picks defensive end Romello Height and defensive tackle Lee Hunter will be among the prospects participating in Lubbock. Day-three wide receiver Caleb Douglas could also get a strong look for his special teams contributions.
