They are doing this on several different campuses on several different days. I wonder if other players than those named at prospects get a tryout also?

Pro Days are set up by the schools to showcase all draft eligible prospects (and maybe some other area players who were at schools too small to do one themselves). The NFL reps decide who attends from their teams, but that's about it...drills are decided by the teams, lifts and tests are industry standards, etc.

For example, Curtis Brooks put up 33 reps at 225 today which would've put him pretty high up at the Combine, and Beavers did all of his athletics testing here (and blew it out of the water).

Were there any players from other schools at UC's pro day?

No idea...normally you only hear about that on Twitter or from someone who was there. I'm talking like CCU/MSJ kind of small schools

For those that don’t listen to the BCJ podcast - I heard every NFL team would have a representative at UC today. Pretty cool!. Different from back in the day when UC was a concrete jungle. And fans would not attend the games.
