While HBCU players are not expected to be taken in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft, there are plenty of talented athletes still available who should be on many team’s radars in the mid and late rounds.

College football observers highlighted several standout SWAC draft hopefuls that could be coming to an NFL team near you by the end of the weekend.

Qua Cox, cornerback, Jackson State

Cox was one of the top defensive backs in the SWAC. He’s a magnificent open-field tackler. He has a good nose for the football. Cox finished his senior year with 32 tackles and six pass breakups. He completed his career with 10 interceptions, 145 tackles, eight tackles for loss and three sacks. Cox also made an appearance in the Senior Bowl.

Arnold Walker, running back, Alcorn State

Walker led the SWAC in rushing with 1,191 yards. He averaged 5.6 yards a carry. Walker rushed for 16 touchdowns. He does a great job of hitting the holes very quickly.

Deandre Cooper, wide receiver, Prairie View A&M

Cooper is one those receivers who has good size, speed and can make the big catch. He had 80 receptions for 1,038 yards and 12 touchdowns. The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder can really play the game.

Jer-ryan Harris, linebacker, Arkansas-Pine Bluff
