Cowboys Set Pre-Draft Meeting With Athletic Linebacker
The NFL Draft is a little over a month away. Teams and prospects are doing a bunch of work to get to know each other. The NFL Scouting Combine recently wrapped up in Indianapolis which gave players a first introduction to the league.
The Dallas Cowboys have an uber-talented roster but they have a hole at linebacker. In the playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers, Dallas gave up 143 rushing yards and will look to bolster the middle of the defense.
Per Cowboys team reporter Nicole Hutchison, Dallas has scheduled a Top 30 visit with LB Trevin Wallace.
Per source, I’ve been told that Kentucky LB Trevin Wallace has a Top 30 visit with the #DallasCowboys in early April.

Dallas News: Trevin Wallace Will Visit the Cowboys Prior to NFL Draft
