Draft eligible Hornets will get their chance to impress NFL scouts when Sacramento State football hosts its pro day Friday, March 6.

The event will take place at 10 a.m. in Hornet Stadium and will be open to the public.

Notable Hornets participating in the pro day are wide receiver DeAndre Carter, quarterback Garrett Safron and defensive end Jaycee Totty. All three former Hornets are coming off tremendous seasons in their senior years.

“I’m prepared,” Carter said. “I’m ready to show scouts what I could do and have my best foot forward.”

Carter said he will be participating in all drills come Friday that include the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, 3 cone drill and the shuttle run.

Recently, he has been training at St. Vincent Sports Performance Facility in Indianapolis.

Prior to Indianapolis, Carter trained at Stars Performance Training & Sports Medicine in Anaheim, California. During his time in Southern California, Carter worked with Montana State alumnus Rick Gatewood, who had a brief stint in the NFL with Oakland Raiders.

Carter led the Football Championship Subdivision with 17 touchdown receptions, led the Big Sky Conference averaging 8.2 receptions per game and second with 110.1 yards. He participated in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl last January but didn’t play much due to an injury early in the game.

His former teammate Safron has recently been training at Rehab Plus Physical Therapy and Sports Performance in Phoenix. He also hired Rudy Carpenter as his quarterback coach to help him prep for the pro day. Carpenter played quarterback at Arizona State University and had brief stints in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also played in the Canadian Football League with the British Columbia Lions.

“He’s a hard worker, [and] a good athlete with a good arm,” Carpenter said. “He’s started many games in his college career and I think many teams will be impressed with how he played in those games.”

Coming from playing in a spread offense, Carpenter along with former college and NFL coach Rod Dowhower, have helped Safron get adjusted to playing in a pro-style offense.

“We thrown information at him and he’s responded really well,” Carpenter said. “He’s picked everything up quickly and has worked with no days off.”

Even with phenomenal stats at Sac State, Safron could turn scouts away because of his 6’1 and 200 pound frame.

“I’ve always been under the radar because of my size,” Safron said. “It’s just more motivation to prove everybody wrong.”

Not only did Safron succeed at throwing the ball, but he also showed his ability of making plays with his feet.

In 2014, Safron rushed for 751 yards and led the team averaging 6.3 yards per rush. He also rushed for four touchdowns, including a 73 yard rushing score against the California Golden Bears. It was the longest run by a Hornet since 2004.

“My athletic ability is one of my strengths,” Safron said. “But I need to show them that I’m a quarterback first and have the capability of playing the position at the next level.”

Safron said he will participate in all drills accept for bench press.

He finished his historic career at Sac State with 3,490 passing yards with 34 touchdowns in 2014.

On the defensive side, Totty is also a senior who hopes to impress scouts on Friday. He will enter the draft as an outside linebacker.

“My biggest thing is I need to show them that I’m fast and I can move,” Totty said. “[I need to have] a good forty and show them that I’m athletic enough to be out on the field on Sundays.”

Totty said he has the ability to play both linebacker and defensive end at the next level.

“Technically, I’m what they call a tweener,” he said. “I’m in between everything, so I’m in between linebacker, defensive end and I could even be a defensive tackle.”

Results Physical Therapy and Training Center is where Totty has been training at, which is a local Sacramento facility. He’s also been working with strength and conditioning coach Patrick Gallagher, who has worked with Sac State.

He said he will participate in all drills.

In 2014, Totty had his best season in his collegiate career, when he led the team in sacks with 6.5.

Sac State football’s safeties coach and pro scout liaison Anthony Parker said it’s a great opportunity for the former Hornets.

“It’s a chance for them to exploit themselves to NFL scouts,” Parker said. “It’s a chance for exposure and it could help them possibly make an NFL team.”

This will be Parker’s second year handling operations of pro day.

Teams that will have scouts represented will be unknown until the morning of the event, according to Parker.

Other seniors that will take part of the event are receiver Joey DePalma, defensive back Mike Sellers and defensive lineman Nathan Castro.

Former Hornets’ running back Ezekiel Graham will participate as well.
