I had posted this on the ACFC board. Looks like Larry will get  a good  look and a shot at making the team.

Nobody's heard anything on Boltus? Since Sunday?

Or am i just not looking in the right places? (so far the front page and this board)

To me it is mildly surprising that if he is not unwilling to go forward at this time,  it has not yet become general public knowledge that he has signed with an NFL team or at least been given a chance for a workout with an NFL team. Perhaps there is a major negative about him (such as one relating to health or attitude) that has not been made public knowledge.

Trinty (TX) ex Jerheme Urban discusses the challenges of making it as a pro as an undrafted free-agent in a story from the Arizona Cardinals' web site.

Update on Pete Ittersagen who signed a FA contract with Jacksonville:

Three undrafted players were attention-grabbers: San Diego State linebacker Russell Allen, UConn defensive end Julius Williams and Wheaton cornerback Pete Ittersagen. Wheaton is Division Three but Ittersagen never appeared overwhelmed. He has quick feet and coverage smarts and has the look of a guy who could play safety, too.

From the ASC board...

Former UMHB linebacker Jerrell Freeman blocks a Toronto punt and recovers for a TD late in the 1st half of Saskatchewan Roughrider's CFL game.today in Toronto.  Freeman's  recover in the end zone gives the Riders a 37-13 halftime lead.  Freeman has been outstanding on special teams so far this season.  Another stud out of D3 football.

You can see the blocked punt and recovery by Jerrell Freeman at http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/7153. Rather long highlight but to jump straight to Jerrell go to the  3:10 mark.

Here is the URL, again.

Freeman was on the winning side of a D-III matchup in Canada this week as Ohio Northern's Jamal Robertson ran for 80 yards and a TD as well as snagging three passes and returning a kick for the Argonauts in their loss to Saskatchewan.
