The 18th-ranked Trojans (26-9, 11-4) were unable to score a run for the second straight meeting with MTSU and are mired in the middle of a string of 18 consecutive scoreless innings.

RE: INside The Walls of Troy - trojanbrutha - 04-19-2011 10:42 AM Monday, April 18, 2011 Some pro notes Troy had its Junior Pro Day earlier today. There's a couple of guys that have a chance to be NFL guys, but most of this class is filled with guys who are good college/Sun Belt football players but don't have the NFL intangibles. ***The top prospect is left tackle James Brown, who will likely be a guard at the next level. Brown, who is about 6-foot-4 and weighed in at 318, is a pretty good athlete and not just for an offensive lineman. Brown, according to strength and conditioning coach Richard Shaughnessy, ran a 5.25 and did 27 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press and did a vertical jump of 29 (that's real good). ... ... ...

RE: INside The Walls of Troy - trojanbrutha - 04-21-2011 11:11 AM Top 10 strongest men in college football By Bruce Feldman (Insider) Later this spring, we'll unveil the annual Freaks list, but today we're focusing on players who possess pure, brute strength. Who are the strongest men in college football? If you go by guys who will be playing major college football in 2011, one would have to be incoming Kansas State Wildcats freshman defensive tackle Samuel Harvill, who once set the 16-year-old world record in the bench press. But for this post, I'm going to stick to players who are already enrolled with programs. ... ... ... 3. Brandon Boudreaux, DE/LB, Troy Trojans Earlier this week, when the Trojans had their pro-testing day, Boudreux benched 225 "only" 44 times. I say only because Troy strength coach Richard Shaughnessy says Boundreaux has done close to 50 reps before. The really amazing part is that he's only 239 pounds. He's also broad jumped 10-foot-5 and ran a 4.6 in the 40. "He looks like a little Lee Haney," Shaughnessy said. ... ... ...

RE: INside The Walls of Troy - trojanbrutha - 04-28-2011 03:38 PM Jernigan ready for big day ![]() It could come today. It likely will come tomorrow. Troy record-setting receiver Jerrel Jernigan is set to get drafted by an NFL team.
