Another #UWG-to-NFL update - Jason Carr has signed a free agent contract with the @bengals #WolvesMakingMoves

There’s no questioning Hardy Nickerson Jr.’s football lineage. His father was a four-time All-Pro and member of the NFL’s All-1990s team.

What NFL scouts — and now the Bengals — are more worried about is whether his football IQ and on-field intensity can overcome his lack of size and elite athleticism.

Cincinnati signed Nickerson as an undrafted free agent following the 2017 NFL Draft, according to Illini HQ’s Bob Asmussen. The All-Big Ten and All-Pac-12 honoree is no lock to make the roster, but his history of making an impact everywhere he’s been suggests he’ll stick around no matter what concerns scouts may have.

Player School Position

Brandon Bell Penn State LB

Dustin Stanton Oregon State OT/TE

Karel Hamilton Samford WR

Demetrious Cox Michigan State S

Darrin Laufasa UTEP FB

Jarveon Williams UTSA RB

Jason Carr West Georgia DL

Cethan Carter Nebraska TE

Josh Tupou Colorado DL

Tyler O'Connor Michigan State QB

Kent Perkins Texas DL

Hardy Nickerson Illinois LB

Landon Lechler North Dakota State OL

Torren McGaster Vanderbilt CB

Harold Brantley Missouri DL

Bengal signed Boom Williams.

Brandon Bell was very productive at Penn State. Karel Hamilton is a gem, probably the best WR in D-1AA. Harold Brantley was a projected 3rd Round pick prior to being involved in a car crash, according to himself he is still only 90% of what he once was.

These are three guys that I could see contributing down the road.

I am surprised Bell didn't get drafted.

He is a football player without question. Would really like to see him make it, real good guy.
