Indiana will have 11 representatives at the Indianapolis Colts' local pro day Saturday, including:
OT Delroy Baker
RB Ricky Brookins
DB Jonathan Crawford
LS Dan Godsil
WR J-Shun Harris
OT Brandon Knight
RB Mike Majette
OL Wes Martin
DE Nile Sykes
WR Luke Timian
LB Dameon Willis
A local pro day is valuable to a team for a couple of reasons: 1) It gives them one last look at prospects who could be late additions to the draft board and 2) if they don't get added to the board, it helps populate their list of potential undrafted free agent targets depending on how they fare.
And for the Colts specifically, it's not unheard of for local pro day prospects translating their performances into eventual roster spots with the club. In fact, it's happened in each of the last two years with Marian's Krishawn Hogan (2017) and Ball State's Anthony Wimbush (2018) getting signed. According to Colts.com's Andrew Walker, both remain on the franchise's roster.
In other words, this isn't an opportunity to turn one's nose up at, and there's certainly value in it for both sides.
In recruiting, Indiana sits in a very good spot with Rivals100 wide receiver Rashawn Williams. The four-star prospect from Detroit (Mich.) Martin Luther King HS told our Josh Helmholdt he's got a top five of Indiana, Purdue, Cincinnati, West Virginia and Syracuse. Williams is scheduled to visit Cincinnati this weekend, and it still looks like he's planning to commit this month, but that decision likely won't come until late April according to Helmholdt. More can be found in Helmholdt's update here.
So far I've confirmed two prospects who will be attending tonight's spring game:
If I get wind of other names or spot any notables prior to kickoff tonight, I'll either post here or in the game thread.
