Every Friday during the football season, we take a look back at some players who are performing well in either college football or the NFL despite the fact that they were unrated as high school prospects. Here’s our rundown from this past weekend.
THIS WEEK'S CHECKUPS: Five-stars |
Four-stars |
Three-stars |
Two-stars
BLAKE RUGRAFF
As a recruit: Coming out of high school, Rugraff had some FCS offers and
Oregon and Texas A&M were the only schools to give him a chance to walk on. After attending an open tryout with the Ducks in 2016, he was added to the roster.
What he did last weekend: After redshirting his first year in Eugene, Rugraff has taken advantage of the open competition for playing time under the new coaching staff and worked his way into a contributing role. After an injury to the Ducks' starter against
Cal, Rugraff entered the game and tallied six total tackles. His role is likely to only increase as the year moves along and with the Ducks defense depleted by injuries, he will be counted on to play well.
