Potential big day and small gallery from LSC softball tourney

Lance will probably blog more on this later or at least write a release on acusports.com, but it could be a big day for Abilene Christian and its football program. Although it may take until Sunday, Johhny Knox, Bernard Scott and Billy Malone could be selected in the NFL draft this weekend. The first three rounds of the draft begin at 3 p.m. CST Saturday. Based upon previous projections, Knox the star wide receiver for the Wildcats the past two seasons might have the only chance to be selected today. Rounds four thru seven will take place Sunday where Knox and Scott are expected to be picked. Billy Malone might be drafted but is more likely to earn a preferred free agent contract after the draft. Offensive lineman Joseph Thompson also signed with an agent and hopes to get an invite to an NFL training camp as well.

So, Wildcats if you're not at Poly Wells Field cheering on the ACU softball team the next two days, tune into ESPN and see where some of the top football players to every put on the purple and white are selected in the NFL draft.
