NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that the Lions and Buccaneers have invited UCF RB Peny Boone to their local prospect days.
The 6-foot, 225-pound Boone made a name for himself at Toledo in 2023, rushing 193 times for 1,384 yards and 15 touchdowns and catching 15-of-18 targets for 216 yards and one touchdown. He forced 52 missed tackles total that year. He then spent the 2024 season at UCF, rushing 34 times for 208 yards and two touchdowns and catching 1-of-2 targets for nine yards. Boone could sneak his way onto a roster via a Day 3 pick or as an undrafted free agent. Both the Buccaneers and Lions would be solid landing spots, given their potent, high-volume rushing attacks.
