I found a few on twitter by Zac Brouillette:
Skyler Allen - 4.91 40 (prior best 5.03) - That's moving for a 300lber
Matt Waters - 4.57 40 (prior best 4.70), vet 39.5, Broad 10'2", 13 reps@225
Donte Foster - 4.47 40, vert 42, broad 10'10", 14 reps

Skyler's time would have been the 2d best at the combine, trailing only Lewan Taylor's 4.87.

Donte's 40 time would have put him him the middle of the pack at the combine, as would his 14 reps. His vertical, however, topped any of the receivers at the combine. His leap of 130 inches would have been 3rd, behind only Donte Moncrief and Tevin Reece, both at 132.

Waters would have been tied for 3rd in the vertical, and middle of the pack in broadjump and reps.

On the whole some good performances. Hopefully they opened some doors. No word on how anyone else did, though.

Was this held outside or in the IPF?

Only reference to Carrie's performance is to 41" in the vert below.

41 would have placed Carrie 2d in vertical at the combine among DBs. He was 7th in reps, the only test he participated in at the combine.

Buddy, I believe part of it was held inside the IPF.

Here's a pro-day summary from Gil Brandt, who calls Carrie a mid-round draft pick.

Carrie ran a 4.45, which would put him in a tie for 9th among the DBs at the combine. He also had a 10'3" Broadjump, which would be middle of the pack. HIs short shuttle of 4.26 was also middle of the pack, as was his 6.97 in the 3 cone drill.

Foster added a 4.30 shuttle and a 3-cone at 6.85, both middle of the pack numbers. He's the only other player that Brandt mentions, so I'd guess he's the only other player that is seriously being considered for draft, though others may well get free agent deals.

These analyst reports on where they think the guys will get drafted are rarely on target two months out from draft day. Projected for the 4th round is hardly a sure bet. Carries combine shuttle was at the high end of the middle of the pack, almost interchangable with performances ranked #10 to #20. Personally I would draft him because of maturity and personality over some 21 year old that flunked out of an SEC school but its not my decision to make.

I'm thinking that if he doesn't get drafted, TC's gonna be a fantastic grad assistant for Ohio.

Seems to me Carrie is the type of kid my Patriots would want to sign after the draft.

They're predicting him as a 3rd-5th round pick

Yeah, I probably should have phrased that, "if he doesn't get drafted or a FA shot". But remembering the pre-PSU Relentless episode, how he was basically a second DB coach game planning and scheming...... That's a guy I want on my sidelines.

If he's not picked up by the NFL, I think he'd have a great shot with an arena team or in Canada.

It's not a given that he'll get drafted, even with Brandt calling him a 3-5th round choice. Some Mock drafts have him picked, others don't. If the doesn't get drafted, he will surely get calls to sign him as a free agent, however.

Similarly, it isn't a given that Foster won't get drafted. While some mock drafts don't include him, others do. here's one that has Foster drafted, but not Carrie.

Maybe this year Ohio can mess up Wes' signature by having two players drafted in the same year?

I remember back in 2006 or 2007 I predicted that Ohio would reach the point where they had free agents signed every year, and had a player drafted every other year, and I was assured by a poster who at that time went by the name of JCW that I was crazy, and that that could never happen because no MAC team ever produced NFL caliber talent that consistently..

2013 Eric Herman, 7th Round (New York Giants)
2012 LaVon Brazil, 6th Round (Indianapolis Colts)
2010 Taylor Price, 3rd Round (NE Patriots)
2009 Mike Mitchell, 2nd Round (Oakland Raiders)
2008 Landon Cohen, 7th Round (Detroit Lions)

Another way of looking at these guys is based on the recruiting classes:

2001 - free agent - Byrum
2002 - free agent - Muncy, Mayle, Wright
2003 - free agent - McRae
2004 - Landon Cohen, 7th Round (Detroit Lions)
2005 - Mike Mitchell, 2nd Round (Oakland Raiders), CFL - Chris Garrett, free agent - Mark Parson
2006 - Taylor Price, 3rd Round (NE Patriots), free agent - Julian Posey
2007 - LaVon Brazil, 6th Round (Indianapolis Colts), free agent - Noah Keller
2008 - Eric Herman, 7th Round (New York Giants), [Travis Carrie???], Arena Football - Boo Jackson, free agents- ?
2009 - [Donte Foster????], free agents - ??
2010 - doubtful

I'm sure there are more that have signed free agent contracts than I have listed. My memory is hazy, however.

How did Blankenship do? Didn't he run a 4.27 in the summer?

People rip the conditioning, strength training, etc... but our guys do great when they are compared with the best talent around the country.

Meanwhile, today's Pro-Day at Wake Forest looks cold and wet. Kind of ironic that Grobe could not get Wake Forest to commit to an IPF after leading them to the Orange Bowl.
