Draft Diamonds Prospect Interview: Dwight Armbrust, WR, Belhaven

Dwight Armbrust might have had one of the wildest trips of any player coming out in 2014 to get a shot in the NFL.  Armbrust has never given up on his abilities and has went from school to school to get an opportunity.  Armbrust is a junior but has declared for the draft.  Dwight played at Hawaii and is a very solid wide receiver.  He transferred to Belhaven last year and played Safety for them, because of lack of depth.  Expect Armbrust to light it up at the Regional Combine.
