5 UDFA I'd like to see in the Silver and Black.


1. Mark Herzlick OLB 6'4 244 BC

Strong OLB that could really tear it up when we open our 3-4 play calling. Has a huge heart and doesnt know how to quit, huge morale buster in the 4th quarter when we need a stop totally worth a 4th or 5th round pick. Hopefully were already got this guy on our radar.

Won the Rudy Award and the ACC's Brian Piccolo Award...started all 13 games and began playing full-time against Virginia Tech...third on the team with 65 tackles and 50 solo stops...tied for first on the team with two forced fumbles, second on the team with four interceptions and four pass break ups...also had 3.5 tackles for a loss...tallied five tackles (three solo) and one forced fumble against Nevada...had six solo tackles and an interception at Syracuse...totaled eight tackles (six solo) with one for a loss, a forced a fumble, a pass break up and an interception vs. Virginia...tallied six tackles at Duke...posted five solo tackles at Wake Forest...recorded six solo tackles and a pass breakup against Clemson...was second on the team with eight tackles (six solo) and a tackle for a loss against Maryland ... had three tackles, broke up a pass and had an interception at NC State...had another pick, defended a pass and made seven tackles against Virginia Tech...racked up four solo tackles including one for a loss vs. Kent State...led the team onto the field in the season opener against Weber State, racking up five tackles.

2. Scott Tolzien QB 6'2 212 Wis

Big arm QB that knows how to win. Shouldn't put all the chips in on Boller, Sullivan and Campbell. I think he has a huge chip on his shoulder with a lot against him witch drives one for success. I wouldve loved him for a 7th round pick but if we can pick him up in FA its a win/win.

3.Ryan Bartholomew C 6'1 302 Syracuse

Huge body OL that I think can work from the guard position that can learn a lot on the go from WIZ. Plus we still have holes on the O-line he can fill that at 302.

4.Mario Butler DB 6'0 182 GT

Fuck it I feel like after we lose ASO we need all the tryout talent we can get!

Tech's most experienced corner... a consistent player who has rarely missed practice time because of injuries... an athletic player with good speed and agility... played as a true freshman in 2007, seeing limited action and playing on special teams ... named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll for 2009-10.2009 (Junior)Enjoyed the best season of his career to date... started all 14 games... recorded 45 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, three pass break-ups and two interceptions... recorded five tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass break-up against Iowa in the FedEx Orange Bowl (Jan. 5)... recorded career-highs for tackles (8) and had 1.5 tackles for loss vs. Wake Forest (Nov. 7)... had four solo tackles and recorded his second interception of the season, his third career INT, at Mississippi State (Oct. 3)... recorded five solo tackles and a tackle for loss vs. North Carolina (Sept. 26)... had four solo tackles and six total tackles at Miami (Sept. 17)... recorded his second career interception when he picked off a Kyle Parker pass against Clemson (Sept. 10).

5. Wayne Daniels DE 6'2 250 TCU
