Vandenburgh wins Buchanan!

So Zeke's NW pro day results are posted here: Zeke Vandenburgh - OLB - Illinois State - 2023 Draft Scout/NCAA College Football

I don't see that he officially ran a forty there .. but pretty good numbers overall, HIs tape will show is game speed and ability.

So his Bench (24) would have ranked 7th at NFL combine among 10 LBers - though many skipped many events it seems, as there were 24 LBers at the combine. His Vert also 7th. His broad jump tied for 8th. His 3 cone would have been 3rd of just 6 LBers who did the 3 cone. His 6'4" ht and 234 wt are right in line or bigger with the top 10 LBers rated highest at NFL combine. Main question is his 40 ... or more importantly as Edge Rusher, his first 10 or 20.

So earlier on this thread, the stud TE NFL prospect from SDSU said Zeke was toughest player he has ever faced.

Now another stud NFL draft prospect from the MVFC (i.e. NDSU no less), OT Mauch mentioned Zeke as the toughest competitor he had faced. Mauch is projected to go in round 1 or 2.

"Mauch talked about his favorite NDSU dining center meals and the toughest matchups he had during his Bison football career. Mauch said Illinois State linebacker Zeke Vandenburgh was a tough competitor."
