Thanks for the links.

Hunter Steward's non-participation in Liberty's pro day has been a topic of interest on this board. I take it as a sign that he's given up on the NFL, and vice versa. I hope to see him at B.C. training camp in Kamloops.

As for Lokombo, I commented previously that I watched him on the NFL Network at the combine and was imnpressed with his athleticism. His numbers were as good as any outside linebacker. I think he improved his chances of being drafted, perhaps in the mid rounds. I don't expect to see him in a B.C. uniform for a while, if ever. Here's another link from an Oregon paper after the combine:
NFL combine: Boseko Lokombo impresses, Taylor Hart limited

NCAA and CIS schools invite pro scouts to come to campus on a specific day to evaluate draft-eligible players, putting them through many of the same drills as at NFL and CFL combines. It's a way for kids who didn't get invited to a combine to get noticed.
