(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Two defensive backs from the state could go high in this weekend's N-F-L draft.

Jacoby Shepherd of Oklahoma State and William Bartee of Oklahoma are called two surprises by one scout.

Although the two have limited experience, they'll likely be drafted because they are two tall athletic cornerbacks.

Both players impressed scouts during postseason workouts. Their college careers are considered short.

Bartee played in 18 games in two seasons at O-U but didn't play cornerback until the last five games of his college career.

O-S-U's Shepherd played in eleven games in one season at the Stillwater school and only started in three games

O-S-U coach Bob Simmons says the pros are taking a chance on Shepherd's raw abilities.
