NFL Draft: Top 10 small school prospects
By John Scimeca
4. Keelan Doss, WR, UC Davis
A 6-foot-3, 209-pound wideout from Alameda, Ca., Keelan Doss has shown lately that he deserves a shot at football’s highest stage. Over his career as an Aggie, Doss had 321 receptions for 4,069 yards, including 19 100-yard receiving games, all school records. UC Davis finished the 2018 season with a 10-3 record, a share of the Big Sky Conference title, and an FCS Playoff berth (ending with a quarterfinal loss to Eastern Washington).
Doss has flirted with being listed as one Mel Kiper, Jr.’s top ten wide receivers for this year’s draft and has played some of his best games when it counts. Against the Aggies’ two FBS opponents this past season, San Jose State and Stanford, Doss had a total of 24 catches for 191 yards. Against rival Sacramento State, Doss came up with 16 catches for 205 yards and two touchdowns. Despite surprisingly receiving little attention until late in his senior year at UC Davis, expect Doss’ name to be called in one of the middle rounds of this year’s NFL Draft.
