Editor's note: Practice notes are updated daily and a final report will be completed on Friday.

Cal Poly's Ramses Barden is one of the most intriguing small school prospects in the nation. He is a classic late bloomer who most FBS programs didn't even recruit, but he has steadily developed since high school.
