Ricky White has been mentioned as one of the players boosting his NFL stock the most at Shrine Bowl practice. Game is Thursday Night on NFL Network.
Ricky White @ Shrine Game
- Thread starter bergemj
- Start date
I've heard it said that Williams got him a few times, too, but that was an embarrassing down for Williams. He got faked hard.
Wasn’t Nohl Williams here a few years ago?
I was sad to see him go. He was like Catalon. A hard hitting DB.
I think his draft stock fell by not playing the last game of the season..
He was pretty good in coverage too, if I remember correctly!
He was a solid DB. We would have loved to retain him.
But, since he’s not a Rebel anymore (in my opinion), I’m glad Ricky burned him.

Yeah he burned him but I would not be surprised to hear his name called in one of the 7 rounds come April! We still have ways to go to hear one of our guys in the secondary get drafted!
Nohl Williams will be drafted mid-round pick. He's one of the higher rated CBs.
Yeah, he was the NCAA leader for interceptions this season with 7. Catalon was tied for 4th with 5.
Yeah I loved what Catalon did for UNLV’s secondary this season but he ain’t getting drafted though!
Keep that same energy over the next two seasons on the basketball court when DJT comes into the Mack and drops 25 on our Rebels. Our frickin’ luck it will happen with him wearing a UA or SDSU jersey. Maybe UCLA so he can team with Andrews in the back court. That wouldn’t be so bad……….
Not doubting that he can/will. I just don't consider players "Rebels" once they leave for other programs. Call me old school, closed minded, whatever.
If I saw one of them on the street I wouldn't start a fight. I just wouldn't reminisce about his time here.
I don’t think this guy watched the game either, because I watched every down of the game and didn’t see RWIII play a single down.

Such a different time in college sports. For me it would depend on what the player accomplished while at UNLV. I miss the old days and the (forced) loyalty to a school, following a player from freshman to senior, etc., but that time is long gone and we have what we have today. For DTJ as an example, I will always consider him a Rebel. He could have gone anywhere but chose to follow his legacy and try to help rebuild the UNLV program. Can’t put the entire blame on him for the program failing to reach those goals. He’s given two years of his college time to UNLV. I hope he stays and I’ll be disappointed if he leaves but won’t blame him for wanting to accomplish more while in college.
Ricky White didn't play. Like a lot of other players, they go through the week at practice and show people what they can do, then pull out of the game to avoid injury prior to the combine.
I saw that Jackson Woodard just got an invite but is Ricky White going to the combine?
He reminds me of Bruschi who wasn't big or especially fast. But he played fast because of how hard he played and how quickly he could defenses. I could see him not getting a whole lot bigger and still making it in the NFL.
