Panthers have heavy interest in small school RB

[Untouchable]

Anytime I see "heavy interest" anymore I assume it's as an UDFA.  He won't be use a draft pick but we'll put those seeds in their minds to try to convince them to come here if they aren't picked.

He looks like a player to potentially take over for Fozzy though and I wouldn't mind using this deep draft to completely revamp the RB position.

Meh. Would rather have Tarik Cohen from NC A&T if we are going small school RB

I have watched Tarik more than a few times, he is amazing but the talent level he was playing against was crap.

Sounds to me like this kid could be a nice pick up in the later rounds of the draft.  Look at his accolades for 2016-17

i'll quit watching Panther football if we draft this guy. Don't make me prove it, Gettleman!

He's looking like a 7th round pick at best. Doesn't mean he can't play, but nobody's buying it yet.

A source tells me the Panthers have shown "A LOT" of interest in MTSU running back I'Tavius Mathers. Reps also at MTSU Pro Day per Nola. com

MTSU is still FBS. Not like he's looking at somebody from Villanova or Florida A&M. Plenty of good G5 players in the pros. Just looking at the top 20 rushers from last year, Ajayi went to Boise, Forte came from Tulane.
