Early news on college scouting

Scouts were in attendance at Florida Atlantic Wednesday. From the Palm Beach Post

Noteworthy: NFL scouts from the Chiefs, Rams, Bears, Falcons, 49ers and Panthers attended Wednesday's practice. Scouts are looking at quarterback Rusty Smith, tight ends Jason Harmon and Jamari Grant and offensive tackle Carl Spitale, the 6-foot-8, 330-pound first year starter.

Smith is an intriguing prospect. He's a classic drop-back passer, but had a down year in 2008. Spitale is someone I intend on paying some attention to this season. His size is obviously great and he playe well in the Motor City Bowl. But if he was a draftable prospect, you have to believe he would have been playing for Florida Atlantic more.
