Plumlee will be hoping to move himself into the draft picture because his draft-ability at this point remains in question. In his two seasons at UCF, he threw for 4,857 yards and 29 touchdowns. He completed 379 of 602 (63%) of his passes and tossed 16 interceptions.

The most draftable Knights player in the game is likely Morris-Brash (6-2, 245), who had 56 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks this past season. Johnson (6-2, 235) led the Knights in tackles with 114.
