Just wanted to chime on on a standout player not only for Jacksonville, but for college football as a whole. He was an excellent player on the field, and a class act off of it, quite possibly one of JU's best players in our history. I have no doubt he will be drafted well and have a fine career in the NFL, he deserves it.

Who was the receiver from JU who made it to the NFL? Played for 2-3 teams, I think.

I couldn't help but remember back to the situation early in Rudell's career where he was temporarily suspended by the university after a bogus arrest and that I wrote a column chastising JU for its poor handling of things. Of course the charges were dropped, he was reinstated after missing a game and Small went on to an outstanding career.

To be clear about that incident, drugs were planted in his dorm room by a jealous teammate.

Micah Ross, he played for the Jaguars and Chargers. Mr. C, would you still happen to have that article? I would be very interested in reading it.

I'll have to track it down. It's not easy to find stuff from the archives with the yokels who run TSN.

Not my column. It was a news story by Byron Saucer of the Ocala Star-Banner. Still looking for it. Haven't tracked it down yet.
