The TCU Horned Frogs are celebrating their 126th birthday this year and have quietly produced a ton of NFL talent. Included are two current Cowboys in OT Aviante Collins and electric return man KaVontae Turpin. Other current players in the league include DE Jerry Hughes, CB Jason Verrett, WR Jalen Reagor, S Tre’Von Moehrig and former Cowboys QB Andy Dalton.

Historically, TCU also boasts some big names in two Cowboy legends Bob Lilly and Larry Brown as well as the renowned Davey O’Brien and Sammy Baugh. The rich history doesn’t stop there as a handful of guys on their current roster will find their places in the league soon. Here are a handful the Cowboys’ scouts and fans should have their eyes on for the remainder of the season.

6 Texas A&M Aggies prospects who should interest Cowboys in 2023 draft

A potential Tony Pollard replacement sits among those in Aggie land who could be of interest to the Cowboys come draft season, according to @TimLettiero

Texas A&M is a program that has been around since 1894 and has blessed the sport of professional football with numerous alumni who made their impact. Some of their most notable players at the next level include the likes of WR Dante Hall, LB Von Miller, WR Mike Evans and DE Myles Garrett, all of whom rank among of the all-time best at their position. Some former Aggies have also made their name in Dallas. That list includes current safety Donovan Wilson, TE Martellus Bennett, LB Dat Nguyen and CB Kevin Smith.

Jerry Jones and the Cowboys like Power 5 schools, having 42 of them currently on roster. With the storied history of Texas A&M and the talent programs at this level produce, there is a good chance the Dallas front office has their eyes on some Aggies. In our second installment of school spotlight, here are some names to watch for come next April.

List of Florida State Seminoles who should interest Cowboys in 2023

The Seminoles have a trio of draftable defenders who will be on the Cowboys, and all 32 NFL teams’ radars come draft season. @Ju_BeLegendary comes with an early look.

What makes college football so great is the pageantry, the tradition of each one of the stadiums, fan bases, and programs. When one sees those tomahawk chops and hear that war chant it is synonymous with Florida State football. FSU is a storied program that has won three national championships, produced three Heisman trophy winners (Charlie Ward, Chris Weinke, and Jameis Winston) and a long list of NFL players who have gone on to have successful professional careers. The Seminoles have five players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame including legendary Dallas Cowboy Deion Sanders. That list also includes Fred Biletnikoff, Derrick Brooks, Walter Jones and most recently LeRoy Butler who was inducted this year.

Despite the Cowboys success with other blue blood programs, Dallas has only drafted nine players from FSU with the most recent player being cornerback Marquez White in 2017. However, that number could look different if they chose to draft Jalen Ramsey over Ezekiel Elliot in 2016, which many believe they should have done or if Derwin James would have made it to pick 19 in the 2018 Draft.

Florida State only had one player drafted in 2022 (Jermaine Johnson, No. 26 overall) but that is sure to change in this year’s draft as the Seminoles have a few players earning high marks amongst evaluators.

Today we start our school spotlight series with the Florida State Seminoles and some of their draftable prospects.
