Josh Buchanan covers "pro hopefuls" for www.d2football.com, and helped select players for the Las Vegas All-American Classic and the Magnolia Gridiron Classic, and he was kind enough to share his small school prospect interviews with us.

DE Jason Jones, Eastern Michigan

Josh: What are your current measurables such as height, weight, 40, and bench reps?

Jason: I am 6'5, 272 pounds. We haven't done the 40 or bench press yet.

Josh: How did you end up at Eastern Michigan?

Jason: It was my only football offer. I only played two years in football and I was a better basketball player. I didn't want to pass up the chance to have school paid for.

Josh: Where have you been training?

Jason: Down in Tennessee in D1 Sports Training with Kurt Hester.

Josh: What do you want to work on most before the draft?

Jason: Just my bench reps and getting faster. I am trying to perform real well at the combine so I just have to do position drills at my pro day. Coach Eddie Khayat who has working with me for the past two months is also helping me improve my pass rush technique.

Josh: Who else is training with you?

Jason: We got Frank Okam, Marcus Monk, Peyton Hillis, Caleb Campbell, Steve Justice, Kory Lichtensteiger, Brad Cottam, Chris Brown, Geoff Schwartz, and Weston Dacus.

Josh: What do you feel are your biggest strengths on the field?

Jason: My speed, getting off the ball, and athleticism.

Josh: What are your biggest weaknesses on the field?

Jason: Since I just moved out to DE from tackle I would say my pass rush technique. The coach from the Senior Bowl worked with me on that.

Josh: Do you have any players on your team who you feel will be solid NFL prospects next year?

Jason: We have a left tackle TJ Lane , Tyler Jones our receiver, and our middle linebacker Daniel Holtzclaw.

Josh: Which teams have shown the most interest in you so far?

Jason: I met with the coaching staff of the Seahawks, Dolphins, Jets, and Lions. T he rest I just met with scouts but I didn't get a good grasp on how much they like me.

Josh: Do you have any expectations on draft day such as a round or team?

Jason: I want to get drafted high but right now I would say between the 2nd and 4th round.

Josh: What are your future goals outside of playing in the NFL?

Jason: I went to school for business management. I want to be in the business world some type of way.
