Welcome to Call The Huddle — Former UAB cornerback Starling Thomas V joined to speak on his career thus far, and his transition into the NFL during his prep for April's draft. As a former three-sport athlete, Thomas has always been one of the best athletes on the field covering returning duties along with playing cornerback since his freshman season. After playing at the East-West Shrine Bowl and highlighting 1-on-1’s, he continues to show his ability as one of the draft’s best man-to-man cornerbacks & athletes.

Thomas is from Birmingham, Alabama and then spent five years at UAB in which he played in 49 games, totaling 28 pass deflections. He discussed growing up playing receiver before moving to cornerback, along with his top cornerbacks in today’s NFL and what he thinks of many other topics.

Welcome to Call The Huddle — Former Tulane linebacker Nick Anderson joined to speak on his career thus far, and his transition into the NFL during his prep for April's draft. As a captain, Anderson was a big reason for Tulane’s 12-win season after only two team wins in 2021, and so his insight into this season’s turnaround was similarly impressive.

Anderson is from Mississippi and spent one season at the junior college level before transferring to Tulane, and so he talked about many topics such as Mississippi’s football players, his teammates and growing as a leader in such a talented locker room, and his thoughts on a few recent topics within football today. He discussed his game and hopes as a linebacker, and even some athletic marks he’s looking for at Tulane’s pro day. Be sure to follow Nick throughout the draft process and into the next level of his career!
