Through Pee Wee football, high school and college, former Wolf Pack football players pursuing NFL careers have done everything in their power to try to impress scouts.
But with the NFL Combine finishing up earlier this month and Nevada’s pro day wrapping up on Wednesday, now all they can do is sit and wait.

The 2012 NFL Combine came and went this weekend with five former Nevada players vying to make their best impact on NFL scouts. While tweets from many of the former Wolf Pack athletes (linebackers James-Michael Johnson, Brandon M. Marshall, wide receiver Rishard Matthews, running back Mike Ball and defensive lineman Brett Roy) during the last week focused on thanking God for the opportunity to shine at the Indianapolis combine, their on-the-field numbers were all they could rely on at the end of the day.

The re-signing of Nevada football head coach Chris Ault is the best news the team has had since January 2011.
Some naysayers might say Ault single-handedly lost the Western Athletic Conference championship and the Wolf Pack’s bowl game last season. Some say he’s too old school; all washed up. Some say it’s time for a new face to the football team.
I say he’s the No. 1 asset for Nevada.

Nevada football head coach Chris Ault and newly named defensive coordinator Mike Bradeson have been around the program long enough to maintain a healthy dose of consistency next season.

The Wolf Pack was lucky to find quarterback Colin Kaepernick more than five years ago, and needs to do a better job hedging its recruiting bets.
Nevada was the only school to offer the Turlock, Calif. native a scholarship because it was a gamble to sign a quarterback who had so much promise in baseball.
It’s redeeming for a recruiter when they find such a hidden-gem, especially for a smaller NCAA Division I program like Nevada, and football recruiting staff likely loses sleep over such matters.
And while the athletic department will tell you all day that it took a risk on Kaepernick in 2007 because it believed in his ability, the economic and even social constraints of the program and university as a whole play a role in the Wolf Pack’s recruiting reach.

The Nevada football team graduates 21 seniors after a less-than-epic 7-5 season capped off by a loss to Southern Mississippi at the Sheraton Hawaii bowl. The only Wolf Pack prospects to make a significant step toward national attention since then are linebackers James-Michael Johnson and Brandon M. Marshall, defensive lineman Brett Roy and wide receiver [...]
