Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 5 small school prospects to target
By Cory Kinnan
Ashton Dulin, WR, Malone (OH)
If the Buccaneers are looking to add another long, athletic receiver for Jameis Winston to throw to late in the draft, Malone University’s Ashton Dulin is a solid option for Licht and company to keep an eye on.
Dulin has posted double-digit touchdowns for Malone in back-to-back seasons to end his collegiate career, and finished with 27 total touchdowns. He averaged over 50 catches over the last three seasons and right around 800 yards during that span. Dulin finished his career with nearly 3,000 yards receiving on 158 catches in four seasons.
The small school receiver performed his way into an invitation to the combine, where he proved that he belonged in a group of receivers that consisted of big names like D.K. Metcalf, and N’Keal Harry. Measuring in at 6’1 and 215 pounds, Dulin posted impressive agility numbers.
He ran a 4.43 40 yard dash, a 7 second 3-cone drill and hit 38 inches on his vertical jump as well. While he posted only 13 reps on the bench press, this is not a concern for a wide receiver.
Although Dulin played at a small school, he has the production and testing numbers to peak the interests of scouts and general managers. Should the Buccaneers be looking for another deep threat who can also make plays underneath coverage as well, Dulin could be a day-three target for Licht to keep an eye on.
