Florida State WR Corey Surrency

Like most players entering the NFL Supplemental Draft, Surrency has a colorful past leading him to the NFL’s special draft.

NCAA denied his request for another year of eligibility. The former Seminole dropped out of high school in the ninth grade and received his GED in jail. After playing for a semi-pro team called the Florida Kings, Surrency (6’4", 226 lbs.) attended El Camino Community College before transferring to FSU in 2008.

In his very limited NCAA career, Surrency, who has great size and the speed to go with it, showed flashes, catching 12 balls for 237 yards (19.8 avg.) and four touchdowns. However there are lingering character issues around this over-aged prospect (25 years old) as he was suspended twice in 2008, missing one game each time for separate off-the-field incidents.

Definitely looks like a non-selection in the Supplemental Draft with some team giving him a shot in training camp or on a practice squad. Reminds me of Arena League player Larry Brackins of the Philadelphia Soul who has had NFL stops with the Jets and Buccaneers.

Are you surprised? It's FSU, the Dallas Cowboys of the NCAA.
