Trevor Scott

BUFFALO, NY - For the first time in school history, the University at Buffalo had two players selected in the same NFL Draft as Trevor Scott and Jamey Richard were selected in the sixth and seventh rounds, respectively, on Sunday afternoon. Scott was selected with the 169th pick by the Oakland Raiders and Richard was chosen by the Indianapolis Colts with the 236th pick.

A defensive end while at UB, Scott is projected to play either defensive end or linebacker in the NFL. Originally recruited as a tight end, Scott flourished as a defensive end when head coach Turner Gill had him switch positions. In just two seasons as a defensive end, Scott racked up 19 sacks in 24 games (.79 per game), which is the third-highest total in school history. He was named second-team All-Mid-American Conference and was runner-up in MAC Defensive Player of the Year voting.

Richard was the anchor of the Bulls’ offensive line. He was an honorable mention All-American by Pro Football Weekly and a second-team and academic All-MAC selection in 2007 as the Bulls’ starting center. He helped pave the way for an offense that scored a Division I-A-record 291 points, produced the Bulls’ first 1,000-yard rusher in the Division I-A era (James Starks) and protected a quarterback that completed a school-record 258 passes (Drew Willy).

Jamey Richard

A versatile Richard will play either the center or guard position for the Colts. He will join former UB teammate Ramon Guzman who completed his first season as a linebacker with the Colts in 2007.

Buffalo was one of only two MAC schools to have more than one player selected in the draft. Toledo also had a pair of players selected.
