TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Former Sycamores Robert Tonyan Jr. and Jameer Thurman both got calls from NFL teams following the 2017 NFL Draft on Sunday, with Tonyan signing as an undrafted free agent with the Detroit Lions and Thurman receiving an invite to camp from the San Francisco 49ers.
Tonyan came to Indiana State as a quarterback but left as one of its most prolific receivers ever, racking up 2,047 yards and 20 touchdowns on 150 receptions. He finished his illustrious career as ISU's all-time leader in career TD and single-season TD (10), as well as the third-best receiver all-time in yards (just one yard shy of second place).
