Saints send five scouts to survey Tulane-Ole Miss game

The Saints weren’t just one of the only teams to send multiple scouts to survey Tulane’s matchup with Ole Miss. They had five representatives at Yulman Stadium on Saturday:

It was a wild scene at Tulane’s Yulman Stadium on Saturday afternoon with the Green Wave hosting Ole Miss in front of a sold-out crowd and a large group of NFL scouts. Our own Crissy Froyd reported that a dozen teams had scouting personnel at the game — with just two teams, the New York Giants and hometown New Orleans Saints, sending multiple scouts to the game.

The Giants had two representatives in the building. But the Saints had five. It makes sense to maintain a presence at local games like this, but it’s noteworthy that the Saints sent so many people to watch the 2024 draft prospects competing in a hard-fought game.

Unfortunately, some of the game’s best NFL prospects were sidelined by injuries. Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt was held out due to a knee issue. Ole Miss tight end Caden Prieskorn was sidelined after late-summer foot surgery. Still, Prieskorn’s teammate Michael Trigg (a potential early-round pick at tight end) caught a 21-yard touchdown pass, but there are some reps the Tulane offensive line will be wanting back after backup quarterback Kai Horton struggled under pressure in the second half.
