Grading System

PAUL HARKER

Position: OG Class: Sr School: Michigan St. Conference: Big Ten Ht., Wt.: 6'3, 295 40 Time: 5.55 Grade: 3.04

BIO: Sixth-year senior that's seen extensive starting action throughout his career. Played in two games during the 2001 season before injuring his shoulder and missing the rest of the season. Started five games as a sophomore before a broken foot sent him to the sidelines. Granted a medical red-shirt three games into the 1999 season after suffering a concussion. POSITIVES: Strong, short-area guard with a nice feel for the position. Quick off the snap, stays square and jolts opponents at the point. Patient yet attacks assignments and works to finish off defenders. NEGATIVES: Average athlete who lacks footwork in space, bends at the waist and is ineffective in on the move. ANALYSIS: Were it not for his prior injury history, Harker would be a career backup at the next level but durability issues will raise a lot of red flags. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
