According to Aaron Wilson, Lehigh offensive guard Will Rackley participated in a private workout with the Baltimore Ravens offensive line coach Andy Moeller today. 



Rackley is regarded as a rising draft prospect who's projected to go in the third round.
The 6-foot-3, 309-pounder bench pressed 225 pounds 29 times at the NFL scouting combine and ran the 40-yard dash in 5.39 seconds at his Pro Day workout with a 27-inch vertical leap.
He's a first-team All-American selection and a three-time All-Patriot League choice who started 40 consecutive games.
Rackley held his Pro Day here at Lehigh on March 17th and it was attended by several teams including the Giants, Jets, Vikings, 49ers, Bengals and Seahawks. 
Wilson also reported that:
Rackley was only 6-foot-2, 260 pounds coming out of high school. A good student with a 3.4 grade point average in high school and a 1080 SAT score, Rackley was recruited by several Patriot League schools.
"I wasn't too highly recruited, but fortunately I had good academics out of high school," Rackley said at the NFL scouting combine. "I was getting recruited by a lot of Patriot League schools--Lehigh, Lafayette, Colgate. I took my visit to Lehigh, loved the atmostphere, loved the academic tradition, loved the football tradition, so it was a good fit."
As a student at Lehigh, I can honestly say the entire campus community is waiting anxiously to see what is in store for Will! I might be a little bit biased here but I really hope he ends up wearing black and purple!
