NFL Draft Diamonds and the Hula Bowl teamed up for the second year in a row to provide college football players another shot at making it to play professional football. Not every player in the NFL Draft is going to make it and some players may have to end up in other leagues like the CFL, USFL, or XFL. Today, the USFL College Draft took place and there were some pretty big picks.

Michigan Panthers had the first pick in the USFL College Draft and they selected a familiar face to the Hula Bowl in Jarrett Horst. The massive offensive tackle was selected by the Panthers and will become a trivia question for USFL fans forever being the first ever college player selected in the USFL College Draft.
