Cortland State has had only one alum play regular-season NFL snaps (DL R-Kal Truluck in the early 2000s). Cole Burgess could be the next.
As a member of both SUNY Cortland's football and baseball program, Burgess was one of the more versatile prospects in this year's draft class. The 6'1", 200-pound pass-catcher dominated the Division III level, totaling 1,375 yards and 16 touchdowns last season alone. That included a nine-catch, 245-yard, three-touchdown performance in November.
However, he didn't only make an impact as a pass-catcher. An electric return man, Burgess totaled 1,647 yards three touchdowns in four seasons for the Red Dragons.
