A handful of Long Islanders may not have been drafted this weekend, but their dreams of playing in the NFL continue on — and two of them are staying local.
LIU Post defensive back Jake Carlock (Babylon) and Buffalo center James O’Hagan (Seaford) both agreed to undrafted free-agent deals with the Giants shortly after the draft ended Saturday. Villanova offensive tackle Ethan Greenidge (Flanders) agreed to a deal with the Saints, Ohio State lineman Malcolm Pridgeon (Central Islip) agreed with the Texans and Rutgers tackle Tariq Cole (Long Beach) agreed with the Cardinals.
Carlock was a two-time All-Long Island first-team selection and Hansen Award finalist as a senior in 2013.
