Coale, Boykin only Hokies seniors invited to the NFL Combine
My only question is: will Coale will be working out at receiver or punter?
It should be noted that list has not been finalized.
This list is one of two prepared prior to the Combine scheduled for February 22-28 in Indianapolis. This list only includes senior prospects. Underclassmen have until Sunday to petition the NFL for early entry into the draft. Once the league has compiled this list of underclassmen a new expanded list will be sent out including them and a handful of senior prospects who surprised scouts during senior all-star games.
So expect David Wilson and Jayron Hosley to get their invites soon.
Eddie Whitley (NFLPA Collegiate Bowl or Shrine Bowl), Jaymes Brooks (Players All-Star Classic) and Greg Nosal (Casino Del Sol All-Star Game) are all scheduled to play in all-star games. Hopefully they play well and earn the opportunity to workout in Indianapolis. If not, they'll still be able to pro day and perhaps at a regional combine.

The site lists Coale as a receiver, but at this point, I wouldn't put it past any team to take a look at him as a punter, too. Versatility has to help draft stock for a mid-rounder.

Should have a shot and be picked up in later rounds. The kid has great hands. I just hope he has enough athletic prowess to impress at the combine.

Danny will get drafted but I'd have to think after Boykin
It was a catch!!!
I think this speaks volumes #
I think this speaks volumes about what the NFL thinks about how the Hokies develop offensive linemen. Even DeChristopher (who may not be mobile enough to be a tackle, but could possibly be a guard) didn't get an invitation.
Brooks, Nosal, and Lainer are excited about a future of CAN flag football action!

I was pretty surprised that BDC didn't get an invite. He had a pretty solid season, albeit maybe not as polished as could have been. And I agree I think he projects much better to the NFL as a guard. With that said, I think he'll be on the final list.
Nosal and Lanier might be able to catch on as second tight ends. They're both big and athletic.
I believe we only have two linemen that start/play in the NFL. Will Montgomery has been a pleasant surprise for the Redskins. Duane Brown has been a stud for the Texans at left tackle. His transition from TE as a freshman and sophomore at Tech, to a RT for his junior and senior seasons, then to the league as LT says something about how good of a player he is. I think he's going to be the exception, rather than the rule, of how our more athletic lineman transition to the NFL.

will be in the Shrine game on Saturday. Having a big game there will really help him, as well as the combine. Really, getting that TD overturned might have been a good thing for him, because it put him in the national spotlight for a little while.
I would be surprised if Brooks and Whitley don't end up getting an invitation.
Did anyone watch the Casino del Sol game last night to see how Greg did?
edit: actually looks like Danny Coale's name has been taken off the roster for the shrine game.
