Ramses Barden might not be the only former Cal Poly receiver playing on Sundays next season.
Tre’dale Tolver has been invited to the Cleveland Browns’ rookie mini-camp in Ohio this weekend. Players at the camp perform during an open tryout in hopes of signing a free-agent contract.
Often times overshadowed by Barden’s numbers, the speedy 5-foot-9 San Diego native also had a standout career at Cal Poly.
Last year Tolver caught 30 passses for 383 yards and three touchdowns. He also served as the Mustangs return specialist, returning 24 punts for an 8.1 yard average and he also scored his second career punt return touchdown against Wisconsin. Tolver also returned 25 kickoffs for an average of 17 yards.
In his career at Cal Poly, Tolver caught 93 passes for 1,365 yards and 10 touchdowns. His catches and yardage marks are top 20 in school history.
He had a career-high seven catches against South Dakota State last year.
Tolver hopes to join Barden who was drafted in the third round by the New York Giants on Sunday. Barden became he second-highest draft choice ever out of Cal Poly and the first offensive player selected since Seth Burford in 2002.
