USF HC Willie Taggart believes redshirt sophomore DE Aaron Lynch has matured during his time at USF, and part of that transformation can be seen with his weight.

"The thing I really like is how much he has grown as a person in just the short amount of time that I've been here," Taggart said. "I came in and I heard he was this and he was that. That he wasn't accountable. That he was undisciplined. That he did things his own way. But the kid has been totally different since we've been here. He's really taken care of his business, on and off the field." Lynch currently weighs 245 pounds after playing at 270 while attending Notre Dame. Taggart would like Lynch to weigh in the 250-260 range.

49ers selected USF QB B.J. Daniels with the No. 237 overall pick.

Daniels will likely move to running back or receiver. We are surprised to found out that Daniels is draft eligible. He started 42 games while in college and rushed for 2,068 yards and 25 touchdowns on 526 attempts.

Packers selected USF LB Sam Barrington with the No. 232 overall pick.

Barrington (6-foot 7/8, 246) made 36 starts at outside linebacker in the Bulls' 4-3, registering 21.5 career tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, one interception, and five forced fumbles. He ran 4.91 at the Combine with a 1.67 ten-yard split and 22 bench-press reps. He will likely play an inside linebacker spot and add depth to that position for the Packers.

Broncos selected South Florida CB Kayvon Webster with the No. 90 overall pick.

Webster started 32 games for USF, amassing three interceptions, 8.5 tackles for loss, and four forced fumbles. He ran 4.41 at the Combine with a 35-inch vertical and 10-foot-5 broad jump. A coaching-staff favorite at South Florida, Webster is a smart corner and "character guy" who rarely gambles in coverage. He has a chance to contribute earlier than his draft slot suggests. The Broncos are preparing to move 34-year-old Champ Bailey to safety at some point in the near future.

Bill Belichick is attending the USF Pro Day, which features CB Kayvon Webster, DT Cory Grissom and OLB Sam Barrington.

Belichick always ventures to the Florida pro days, making this three or four straight years. None of the Bulls' prospects standout this year but all three could be drafted on the third day.

ESPN's Andrea Adelson believes it is too early to tell what transfer DE Aaron Lynch's role will be with USF in 2013.

"Right now, it is tough to really say how I think he will do this season," Adelson writes. "He just sat out a year, and the Bulls have a completely new coaching staff. I think we all will have a much better idea of what to expect once spring practice wraps up and we hear from his new coaches." Lynch transferred to USF after one season at Notre Dame.

USF senior CB Kayvon Webster will attend the NFL Combine.

Webster was consistently praised by coaches but never earned name recognition by the casual fan. The senior will attend the East-West Shrine Game, and if he gets the process rolling with a good week of practice, Webster could carry that momentum to the Combine.

USF senior DT Cory Grissom has been invited to the NFL Combine.

Grissom, a Senior Bowl invite, does not produce much upfield, but he can hold his anchor against one on one blockers in the running game. The week of practice in Mobile will be more important to Grissom's evaluation than the Combine.

USF senior LB Sam Barrington will attend the East-West Shrine Game.

We have yet to evaluate the three year starter, but the linebacker position is historically thin at the Shrine Game. Still, Barrington has plenty of tape to show Scouts, including 21.5 tackles for loss in his career, 6.5 of which were sacks.

USF senior CB Kayvon Webster has been invited to the 2013 East-West Shrine Game.

Webster earned the praise of his defensive coordinator back in July, believing the senior could be one of the best corners in the Big East. Rather than being a ball hawk that takes risks to make a play on the ball, Webster's game relies on sticking with receivers or trailing just behind them.

USF DT Cory Grissom has been invited to the 2013 Senior Bowl.

The three year starter is not currently mentioned among the highly praised interior defensive lineman in this class, but he will have a good stage to prove himself in Mobile. Grissom is more of a run defender than mover that penetrates the backfield, so evaluators will be watching how is anchor holds up against double teams and individual blocks.

USF true freshman CB Chris Bivins tore his ACL for a second time in practice last week.

Bivins first tore his ACL in high school and was somewhat rushed back by practicing this fall. In fact, coaches pulled the freshman's redshirt after four games in the hopes he could contribute on the field. He may apply for a medical redshirt nonetheless.

USF senior QB B.J. Daniels underwent successful left ankle surgery Saturday.

Daniels will miss the rest of the regular season, but beyond that his timetable is unknown. The senior does not have prototypical size or quarterback qualities for the NFL, but he may get a look during training camp.

South Florida senior QB B.J. Daniels suffered a broken ankle, likely ending his final collegiate season.

Matt Floyd will take over as the starter. Daniels is one of those players that appeared to be in college football forever, but this injury likely ends his time at this level of football. He finishes his career with over 8,000 passing yards and 52 passing touchdowns.

USF senior RB Lindsey Lamar will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone.

Lamar led the team in rushing with 475 yards despite only receiving 66 carries. The senior was one of our favorite sixth- or seventh-round running back porpsects, but hopefully a full recovery occurs in time for Lamar to participate in the predraft process. Lamar had a nonsurgical procedure to set the collarbone.
