There is a slim chance a football player from southwest Missouri will hear his name called during this week's NFL Draft but there is a handful who will hope for an undrafted free agent contract or a rookie camp invite afterward.
A Kickapoo prospect appears to be the most likely to be drafted out of the group while a few notable Missouri State names from its recent few years of success hope to hear from their agents at some point.
Here are the players to keep an eye on throughout the weekend.
Travis Vokolek, Kickapoo
As one of the highest-touted players from the region in recent years, Vokolek appears to be the most likely player from the area to hear his name called during the final day of the draft.
