NFL Combine Schedule

Profiles of FAU players headed to the 2019 NFL Combine below:

Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (2016-2018) – Azeez Al-Shaair owns or is among the FAU leaders in every defensive statistic. He accumulated 397 tackles, including 201 solo, in his three-and-a-half seasons at FAU. The Tampa native had 32.5 tackles for a loss and 7.5 sacks along with an interception, eight passes defended and two forced fumbles. But, it was his leadership and role as team captain since his sophomore campaign that led the Owls to a 2017 Conference USA Championship and a bowl appearance for the first time in 10 seasons. He was a C-USA 2017 First Team selection, Phil Steele's Magazine First Team selection, led C-USA in total tackles and was list among the nation's leaders in total tackles. The year before, he was C-USA Honorable Mention, FAU's defensive MVP and finished No. 24 nationally with 93 total tackles. In his debut season, he was 2015 C-USA Co-Newcomer of the Year, C-USA All-Freshman Team member and Named Freshman All-American by USA Today and Scout.com.

Wide Receiver Jovon Durante (2017-18) – Jovon Durante came to FAU as a transfer and worked the 2017 season with freshman quarterback Chris Robison as the duo completed a year in residence. That relationship paid off in 2018 with 65 receptions and a team-high 873 receiving yards. Durante found the end zone five times in 2018 and earned All-C-USA Honorable Mention honors.

Running Back Devin "Motor" Singletary (2016-18) – Devin Singletary earned Second Team All-American honors by Sporting News in 2018 after garnering similar honors in 2017 by the Associated Press as well as Honorable Mention recognition in 2017 by CFB and SB Nation. Pro Football Focus recognized Singletary as the 2018 C-USA Player of the Year, and he was also a two-time Conference USA First Team honoree after leading the league in rushing yards in back-to-back seasons. Additionally, he was named the 2017 C-USA MVP and led the nation in points scored, and led the league in 2018 in rushing yards (1,348), rushing yards per game (112.3), scoring per game (11.0) and rushing and total touchdowns (22). In those same categories nationally in 2018, he was listed No. 10, No. 11, No. 3, No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. In his three seasons wearing an Owl uniform, the Deerfield Beach, Florida native tallied 66 rushing touchdowns, which ranks him No. 6 on the all-time FBS list (and the most ever among those having only played three years). His career averages are 5.0 yards per carry and 113.1 yards per game, and he has totaled 4,299 yards on the ground, the sixth-most in C-USA history.

Footwork is one trait that I look for in RB prospects. Devin Singletary is one of my favorites to watch.
