  Draft Scout by Conference









  When Ferrod Gardner got official word he had been approved for a sixth season of eligibility, allowing him to play one more year for the Ragin' Cajuns, he had no doubt. Gardner was in, all the way. "I just felt like it was another opportunity for me to go ahead and better my game and better myself as a person," he said this week, "so I just definitely wanted to do it." Wow are the Cajuns ever glad he did. Gardner, UL's starting Will linebacker, had nine tackles including a sack in last Saturday's upset 31-14 win at then-No. 25 Iowa State, a victory that vaulted the Cajuns into the national rankings themselves, appearing at No. 21 in the Amway Coaches Poll and No. 19 in the AP Top 25.

The showing resulted in Louisiana Sports Writers Association state, Sun Belt Conference league and - get this - Walter Camp Football Foundation national Defensive Player of the Week honors for the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder from Trotwood-Madison High in the Dayton, Ohio, area. Cajuns coach Billy Napier, for one, wasn't surprised by what he and an ESPN national audience saw. "Ferrod's always been a guy we felt like could be an exceptional player," said Napier, whose 1-0 Cajuns visit Georgia State for their ESPN2-televised Sun Belt opener Saturday morning in Atlanta. - Daily Advertiser
