🏈 A bit of trivia for you this Sunday morning. Since the turn of the century (2000) every P5 team has had a player drafted in RD1; except two.

[TerryP]

One school hasn't had a player drafted in the first round in over forty years.

Can you name the two schools?

One of them hasn't had one since 1973. GameDay was there last year.

I thought Kansas would be one, but 2008.

Seneca lived a 4-5 blocks away from us in Texas. He sure was fun to watch years ago.

I was thinking Antoin Randel-El, but guessing he wan't first round. Had a nice career with the Steelers though.

I was thinking Antoin Randel-El,

He was fun to watch. I knew he wasn't one of them when this bit of history first came up. That's only because of Donte' Stallworth (UT) and the SEC receivers drafted that season.

Josh Reed (LSU) went before Antion as well as Gaffney out of UF. (I believe there's another one from UF that draft as well but I can't remember his name.) Oh hell, Tim Carter (AU) went before him as well.

Geez, now you're reminding me how much coaching matters. That was the draft Freddie Milons went late (McAddley and Jones went before him as I recall.)

Fantastic question @TerryP! IU never entered my mind.
