Although no Division III football player was selected in this weekend's NFL draft, two players were signed immediately after the draft, with another pair invited to camp.

Wesley wide receiver and return man Larry Beavers signed with the Carolina Panthers, while Wheaton cornerback and return man Pete Ittersagen signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday night.

"We're so excited for Larry," Wesley coach Mike Drass said. "This is a great opportunity for a young man who's returned more kicks for touchdowns than anyone in NCAA history." He holds the NCAA all-division records for kick return touchdowns with 10 and total runbacks for touchdowns with 13.

Ittersagen, who broke up 12 passes, had three interceptions and returned two punts, one kickoff and an interception for a touchdown, is the second Thunder player to sign an NFL contract in as many seasons. He follows Andy Studebaker, who was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008 and finished last season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Beavers also started at receiver for the Wolverines, leading the team with 598 yards and tying for the team lead with 30 receptions and six touchdowns. He ended his career with 2,366 receiving yards, second all-time at Wesley and was seventh all-time with 126 career receptions.

Ittersagen said Sunday evening, "It is a blessing to see all of the hard work that I have put in pay off. However, I still have hard work ahead of me. ... I have had some wonderful opportunities at Wheaton and it is great that things have turned out like this."

Hartwick quarterback Jason Boltus told D3football.com Sunday night he was still waiting to hear from his agent.

Justin Goltz, who quarterbacked Occidental to the 2008 playoffs and a No. 15 final ranking, was invited to the Detroit Lions' rookie camp. Goltz, who had a Pro Day workout with the University of Hawaii earlier this month, is from Walled Lake, Mich. Augsburg All-American wide receiver Royce Winford was invited to the Minnesota Vikings' rookie minicamp.
