It was a short day of work at Miami’s Pro Day, as four prospects performed for assembled scouts in Oxford.

The reigning MAC Champion Miami RedHawks held their Pro Day on March 21st at the David and Anita Dauch Indoor Sports Center, with three former players participating in workouts and position drills.

Of note, wide receiver Joe Wilkins Jr. opted to hold his Pro Day workouts at Notre Dame on the same day.

Below are the raw numbers and Relative Athletic Scores for all Miami prospects. All RAS cards are courtesy of Kent Lee Platte, with express written permission, and can be found at RAS.football, with stats cross-referenced by Draft Scout.

SAF Michael Dowell

Elevator Pitch:

The former top-ranked safety in the state of Ohio as a high school prospect out of North Ridgeville, Dowell finished his career in Oxford as one of the MAC’s best at the position after playing 19 games over three years at Michigan State. In two seasons of service, Dowell picked up 158 tackles, 8.5 takcles-for-loss, two sacks, two interceptions, 15 pass break-ups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Dowell made quite the impression at Pro Days, posting a bench test which would have been the best at the NFL Combine if he were invited.
