The Southwestern Athletic Conference has produced some of the NFL's greats. Still, recent draft history hasn't been kind to the SWAC. Has the conference lost talent, or has the landscape changed?

Georgia Southern Athletics

Tray Butler and Ezayi Youyoute each rushed for more than 60 yards, helping the White team to 230 yards on the ground before it fell to the Blue team 16-6 in Georgia State's spring game.

Central Arkansas Athletics

QB Wynrick Smothers ran for an 87-yard touchdown and threw another TD in Central Arkansas' spring game. Smothers is auditioning to replace departed All-American Nathan Dick. 

William & Mary Athletics

William & Mary looks to make major improvements heading into the 2012 campaign and saw positive signs on defense with six interceptions and three sacks in the annual spring game.

  • Tough times
  • Eagles gain ground
  • Smothers and others
  • Practice complete

LOOKING BACK ON 2011

Look back to see how all the teams did in the FCS playoffs, including 2011 champion North Dakota State.
