Draft Dish: Hillsdale QB's skill set draws attention at Cactus Bowl - Russ Lande, The Sporting News
KINGSVILLE, Texas -- Players who helped themselves this week at Cactus Bowl practices:
-- Hillsdale QB Troy Weatherford showed he has the arm strength to make all the throws and the physical tools to warrant further evaluation. Although his accuracy was inconsistent, his zip and nice spirals will lead to more attention from scouts.
-- Central Missouri RB Anthony Stewart showed nice quickness and a good burst all week. He also showed he can catch short passes and deep throws well. He exhibited good toughness and competitiveness, though his size (5-9, 190) will limit him to a third-down, situational-type back.
-- Texas A&M-Kingsville WR Ryan Lincoln really came on during the week. He was stellar catching everything thrown to him and showed a nice ability to turn upfield quickly. He showed the skills to get separation and a quick twitch off the line, and he played faster than his 40 time.
-- Delta State WR L.J. Castille was able to get good separation and showed the ability to get off press coverage. Although he did drop a few easy throws, he also adjusted nicely to catch some poorly thrown balls. At 6-2, 220, he will warrant further evaluation.
-- Angelo State WR Garrett Tidwell displayed a knack for finding open space and getting separation in traffic. Although his 5-8 frame and lack of elite speed will limit him, he may get consideration as a special teams player or backup slot receiver.
-- Fort Hays State WR O.J. Murdock had a good but not great week of practice. Because he showed good deep speed and separation, however, he undoubtedly will be evaluated further.
-- No player did more for himself than West Liberty TE Ryan Travis. He was the most consistent player -- at any position -- throughout the week. Travis caught everything, showed the willingness to block and played with great instincts and awareness. He may be able to earn a spot on a team's practice squad as an H-back or in a fullback-type role.

Harlon Hill winner shines in Cactus Bowl win for Red Storm - George Vondracek, Corpus Christi Caller Times
KINGSVILLE — It may not have been as prestigious of an award as the Harlon Hill Trophy, but Eric Czerniewski made a pretty good case why he is the top player in NCAA Division II football.
The Central Missouri quarterback threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns as the Red Storm handled the Blue Devils 28-6 in the 17th Cactus Bowl at Javelina Stadium.
The owner of Division II’s single-season passing yardage mark, Czerniewski didn’t let any pressure build with him entering the game as the Harlon Hill winner in front of 4,200 people in attendance. He was named the game’s offensive MVP.
“No, these guys, they were all fun and games about it. It was great,” Czerniewski said. “I had a lot of fun with everybody here. ... It was a lot of fun playing with these guys.
“It was just a lot of fun coming out here with these great players and throwing the ball around and just having a lot of fun,” he said. “That’s what these games are all about. To win the award is just an honor.”
Czerniewski had a little help. Delta (Miss.) State’s L.J. Castille, a La Marque native, had three receptions for 122 yards and a 42-yard TD reception. The 122 yards were nine shy of the bowl record set five years ago by Nebraska-Kearney’s Richie Ross.
Then there was Ryan Lincoln, Texas A&M-Kingsville’s all-time receiving yards leader who was a late addition to the Red squad. Lincoln only had two catches but they totaled 59 yards and set up Storm TDs.
“I think I went out there and did what I could, catch whatever I could, whatever was thrown to me,” Lincoln said. “I was just trying to make a play because you never know if it’s going to come again. So I just tried to get out there and make plays.”

Bronchos Survive Showdown - UCO Sports Information
EDMOND (Jan. 8) – Jarrod McDaniel hasn't exactly been known for his free throw accuracy this season, but the Central Oklahoma point guard was near-perfect when it counted the most in helping the No. 18-ranked Bronchos turn back No. 21 Midwestern State 68-61 Saturday afternoon at Hamilton Field House.
McDaniel entered the showdown shooting just 41.8 percent (14-of-34) from the line and promptly made 7-of-8 foul shots in the last 2:36 as UCO kept the Mustangs at bay in the physical battle between Lone Star Conference and NCAA Division II heavyweights.
It was the 17th straight home win for the Bronchos, who improved to 14-2 while ending MSU's 12-game winning streak. The two-time defending league champion Mustangs fell to 12-2.
“It was a tough, physical game between two teams who weren't going to back down from each other,” UCO coach Terry Evans said. “I thought we played hard the whole game and did a good job defensively in getting them out of what they were trying to do.”
