2026 NFL Draft Pro Day Report: Ohio Bobcats

The Ohio Bobcats have experienced a lot of recent success, finally reaching the pinnacle in 2024 as MAC champions.

2025 was a bit of a fall-off in comparison, and saw a late-season coaching change, but the Bobbies were still competitive, finishing one game short of a repeat appearance in Detroit with an 8-4 record (6-2 MAC).

With a new season on the horizon, a dozen former Ohio footballers took to the turf in March to impress pro scouts at the next level. Notably, quarterback Parker Navarro, who started each of the last two seasons for Ohio, did not participate despite his appeal to the NCAA for a seventh year of play being denied. Thus, Navarro will not be included in our reports.

For our reports, we’ve pulled raw numbers from both Draft Scout and RAS.football to populate RAS score cards. These cards are used with express written permission of RAS’ creator Kent Lee Platte.

OG Trent Allen

Elevator Pitch:

Up-transfer from D-II Davenport [MI] who played in all 25 games he was eligible for with the Ohio Bobcats. Won starting job at guard halfway through 2024 season and retained position in 2025. Was part of one of the MAC's most successful running attacks, which averaged 408.5 yards per game in 2024 and 2025. At Davenport, was named first-team OL in the ultra-competitive GLIAC in 2023 and tabbed an all-GLIAC honorable mention as a true freshman in 2022.

Size won't translate well at the pro level at the interior line, but exhibited excellent strength, lateral agility and explosiveness on first step which could be built upon. A move to blocking H-back or fullback could be productive here.

Departed Athens as one of the program's most productive running backs, finishing third all-time in rushing records in a season, fourth all-time in career rushing touchdowns and becoming the fifth Bobcat to tally 3,000+ career yards. Had one career kick return, housed for a 97-yard touchdown. Tabbed to all-MAC team in 2023 (third-team) and 2025 (first-team).

Best season was 2022, with 1,078 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns in addition to 27 catches for 226 yards and two touchdowns in the receiving game.

A Canadian national who was well-traveled in their collegiate career.

CB Tank Pearson

Elevator Pitch:

A former JUCO All-American at Northwest Mississippi CC who was an immediate contributor upon arrival in Athens. Played in 38 games and started 25-straight to end tenure. Passionate, hard-nosed corner who likes to tackle. Uses near-elite acceleration to clog passing lanes and maintain position. Finished career with 120 tackles, three TFLs, eight interceptions and 26 pass break-ups. Best season was 2024, with 51 tackles, 1.5 TFLs, four picks and 10 PBUs. Set career-highs in tackles (53) and PBUs (13) in final season. Also has special teams experience, averaging 20 yards per kick return over two years.

Has requisite experience to be a contributor and has notable strength and speed numbers despite his small frame, but will have limited pro opportunities due to said frame.

Measurables (as of Pro Day)

• Height: five-foot-six

A six-year prospect who started 37 of his 51 career appearances for Ohio. Was part of Ohio's record-setting offense as starter in 2023. Serviceable starter with decent lateral agility.

SAF Adonis Williams Jr.

Elevator Pitch:

A four-year contributor to the Bobcats who started in 32 of 46 eligible games at the safety position. Over career, picked up 183 tackles, 12.5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, an interception, seven pass break-ups, and a fumble recovery. Best season was 2025, nearly tripling total tackles (33 to 80) and solo tackles (19 to 58) from prior year, while also picking up four TFLs and a sack. Elected a team captain in 2024 and 2025. Earned academic all-MAC honors in three of his four seasons, won defensive MVP at the Frisco Bowl in 2025.

Has the intangibles, experience, and pro-ready frame, though top end speed, agility and limited coverage is a concern. A switch to linebacker could bring out his full potential at the next level.
