That dozen is not just the number of D-III players currently known to have received an invite to an NFL training camp, for sure. How big of a breakfast does it take to feed an NFL offensive lineman? What did new-old Franklin coach Mike Leonard do when he was away from coaching the Grizzlies for the past five years? And why does Illinois College coach Ray DeFrisco keep coming back, year after year?

Those are some of the key questions getting asked and answered on this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast.

No, seriously, that’s a lot of eggs. How did Middlebury offensive lineman Thomas Perry get to where he is today, a workout legend and an All-American who got invited to the Baltimore Ravens minicamp? He also talks about his experiences with Julian Young, a linebacker at Colby who will also be going to the Ravens, plus the workout that helped start him well down the road to where he is today.

At Franklin, Mike Leonard wasn’t expecting to get his old office back, and that space has some new decorations that we talk about. Hear what kind of camp Leonard will be attending this offseason. And at Illinois College, the days of putting up 96 points in a game might be over, with the standout quarterback and wide receiver and the offensive coordinator all moving on, but the philosophy remains. Hear about that and the new names you’ll hear this fall and more from IC coach Ray DeFrisco.

Plus we talk about the NESCAC finally getting its chance to play in the playoffs — even if it isn’t until 2026. Will that attract more talented student-athletes to NESCAC schools? That’s a question in our mailbag segment, and we also talk about the likelihood of radios in football helmets at the D-III level.

Patrick and Greg cover it all in the latest edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.
