Dozens of scouts have flocked to the Oneonta campus this fall to catch a glimpse of Boltus.

The 6'4, 225-pound senior has thrown for nearly 15-hundred yards with 15 touchdowns in just four games.

Last year he was honored as division three's top player after amassing almost 45-hundred total yards and accounting for 45 touchdowns.

Boltus impresses NFL scouts with his size, arm strength and speed.

While he's still a longshot to hear his named called, Boltus would not be the first division 3 star to get drafted.

In fact, this past April, two D3 alums were picked in the sixth round.

"I kind of don't think about that," says the Baldwinsville, NY native. "I know they're here but I try to just do what the team's got to do. Make the team score. Make the offense go and rely on the defense when we need to. So I'm just trying to play football. Have fun with it. Have fun with the experience."

Boltus and Hartwick are back home Saturday afternoon against Becker.

Kickoff is set for 1:00.
