Several Former Thunderbirds Participate In Pro Day

ST. GEORGE, Utah -- The Thunderbird football program held their annual Pro Day at Desert Hills High School on Tuesday, with more than 10 NFL teams in attendance.

There were 10 former Southern Utah football players participating, one former Thunderbird basketball player and four participants from Dixie State.   

"I'm excited for the guys, it's a good opportunity for them to come out and test in front of the scouts and get some guys doing some drills out here," SUU head coach Demario Warren said. "Hopefully they did enough to get themselves on a roster."

Former Thunderbird linebacker Mike Needham was one of the former players in attendance, and said it was fun to be back out on the field with old teammates.

"I thought it went pretty well," he said. "I thought all the players from SUU did really well and everyone was pretty happy with their results. I surprised myself with a few things, and could have done better on a few things, but overall I'm pretty happy."

Several T-Birds had numbers that would have ranked them highly in the NFL Combine.

Amongst linebackers Needham's broad jump of 10' 6'' would have ranked him third in the Combine compared to other linebackers. Robert Torgerson's 40 time would have ranked him third in the Combine for interior DL's over 300 pounds, and his vertical and broad jump would have put him in fourth at the same event. The same can be said for Anu Pole'o, who had a slightly higher vertical, had the same mark in the broad jump and threw down 28 reps on the bench press.   

Results for former Southern Utah student-athletes are available below.
