| | *edit - I think its a good point to show that he had a faster short shuttle (3.99) than any other player that was invited to the Combine 31st Ranked Safety by nfldraftcountdown, but I think that that is from a lack of exposure to the writers of the website. Also I'm watching the DII championship game on ESPNU and the guy is flying all over the field, I mean flying. http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/s/coreylynch.html Height: 6-03/8 | Weight: 202 | 40-Time: 4.58 | Career Statistics | | Year | GP | TKL | PBU | INT | YDS | | 2003 | 11 | 57 | 4 | 6 | 61 | | 2004 | 2 | 13 | 0 | 1 | 8 | | 2005 | 15 | 92 | 7 | 6 | 121 | | 2006 | 13 | 85 | 6 | 5 | 101 | | 2007 | 15 | 111 | 11 | 6 | 114 | | Totals | 56 | 358 | 28 | 24 | 405 |
http://nfl-prospects.blogspot.com/2007/08/spotlight-on-safety-corey-lynch.html One of the best small school prospect in college football is Appalachian State All American Corey Lynch. He is bar none the best free safety in the D-1 Championship series (1AA), and ranks among the best in all of college football. Lynch has been among the best at every level he has played. In high school, he was named best defensive player in SW Florida (31 career interceptions). He has been a college stand out from the day he turned down a walk-on invitation from University of Florida, for a full ride scholarship to Appalachian State. Lynch is no slouch in the class room either with a double major in Physics and 3.0 GPA.
Major Accolades:
* Started free safety (10 games) as Freshman (2003)
* Only Freshman named to the all Southern Conference team
* Six interceptions as a Freshman (2003)
* Thirteen interceptions by the end his Sophomore year
* One National Championship in 2005
* 2005 all American team
* Eighteen interceptions (18) totaled by Junior year
* 2006 all American team
* Helped Appalachian to their second National championship in
2006
* 2006 broken elbow needing surgery with pins. Played in a cast,
only missed 27 days (tough as nails)
* Begins Senior season among all time ASU leaders in interceptions
#3, fumble recoveries #2, and kick blocks #2
* 2007 pre season all American
* First Appalachian player since Dexter Coakley named Three time
all American?
* Avg. 85 tackles per year, on a team full of all American (how is
that possible)
* Appalachian has not lost a home game with him on the field
No greater complement can be made then when another coach talks about game planning to keep from passing towards Lynch’s side of the field. If you look at the 2003 stats, after his fifth game(4 int’s) as safety, teams quit testing him. In 2005 after his fourth game (5 int’s), teams quit testing him. 2006 Lynch had only one interception in the first nine games against teams that knew better then throwing his way. In contrast, he had four interceptions in the final four games (including playoffs) against teams that didn’t know his history. This summer a coach from the Citadel, said it best, “hours are spent trying to know where Lynch is at on the field”.
After the discussion of Lynch being an excellent cover safety, you need to talk about his ability to make tackles (247) as safety on a team that has more all Americans then any team in America. Two National Championships in a row and the longest current home winning streak (27) in the NCAA, means that the team is full of talent. You have to be a work horse to get those kinds of numbers on a team as good as Appalachian. As a pre-season first team all American, Lynch Knows that people are watching. And if he has a break out season the draft grugrus will have to notice. But, Lynch is not concerned with where they think he will be in the draft, he says “Wherever I go, I pray, great thing happen”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQZqkcubYjQ Name: Corey Lynch

Draft Scout Corey Lynch News |
| 04/06/08 - No Combine, no problem: S Corey Lynch (Appalachian State): As if his play at the Texas vs. The Nation game wasn't enough to warrant a Combine invite, Lynch's pro day numbers really drove home the point: 4.58 40, 3.99 short shuttle, 6.71 three cone. Could go anywhere from the late third to fifth round. - Chad Reuter, NFLDraftScout.com |
|
| 04/03/08 - 04/02/08 - Draft Scout Risers: A three-time All-American, Lynch was somehow not among the prospects invited to the Combine, despite ranking among the all-time leaders in NCAA Division 1-AA/Championship Subdivision history in tackles, blocked kicks, interceptions, interception return yardage and passes defended. Rising to the occasion during his March 25 Pro Day, the 6-0, 202-pound Lynch recorded a 4.58 40, 9'3" broad jump and a faster short shuttle time than anyone tested in Indianapolis (3.99 seconds). Lynch could prove to be the first player drafted this year not invited to the Combine. |
|
| 02/12/08 - All-Star Game Risers Team: S Corey Lynch (Appalachian State): Yes, there are two players from App State included here but not only because of their upset of Michigan early in the year. WR Dexter Jackson and Lynch should both get deserved praise for their play this post-season. The safety showed just about everything you'd want to see from a safety: the willingness and ability to quickly read and react in run support, the instincts and adequate speed to make plays on deep sideline passes, and exceptional special teams prowess-both as a kick blocker and in coverage. And he needed to make all of those plays because he won't be attending the Combine…for some unknown reason. |

| The guy is a demon on the field! I'm an App State Alumni so I watch them play quite often. Corey Lynch is one of the main reasons App has won 3 Div 1AA National Championships in a row. At the very least he'd be one heck of a special teams player (he blocked the last second FG attempt vs Michigan), but I think he could be a legit starting SS one day. I would be absolutely thrilled if the Jags picked him up!

| | This is a guy that I have had my eye on for a while now, and I think that with a little time and development, this could be the 'QB' of the Defense that we have never really had in the Defensive Backfield. He has decent size, good speed, and out of this world instincts. He is always showing up in big-time games and he has been productive the minute he stepped onto the playing field. It will take him some time to adjust to the speed of the game, but I just have a feeling that once he gets settled, he is going to be on the field for a long time.
Go heavy early.
You do not maintain perfection, you work for it everyday.

| What impresses me most about this guy is that he made on of the most coordinated plays I've ever seen when after the block kick against Michigan, he picked it up in stride one handed. You don't usually see that kind of coordination in football players.

You speak of at very least a good special teamer. I agree. A player from the same conference was a special team qiz for us last year. Nkang from Elon. The Southern Conference. Best 1-AA football conference!

| That kid is very good.
I'd hope the Jags do draft him.
Now, remember, we have cat throwup at the GM position, so I'm not expecting us to actually get Lynch, so we'll see what happens.
Congratulations to the 2008 WORLD Champions, your Philadelphia Phillies!

No. He scooped it up with one hand after a hard bounce. It was impressive.
