Koziol (6’6.5/247) spent three seasons at Ball State honing his skills. He led the Cardinals with seven touchdowns as a rookie. While his three touchdowns in 2023 don’t pop off the box score, Koziol was the only player on the team to score more than one touchdown through the air. He then put it all together in 2024 with 94 receptions for 839 yards and eight scores. Having thoroughly dominated the MAC, Koziol got called up to the Big 12 for his final season of college ball. He led the confere ...25 April 2026
The top running back recruit of the 2022 class, Singleton (6’/219) burst onto the scene as a true freshman with 1,061 yards at a staggering 6.8 yards per carry. He split work with fellow newcomer Kayton Allen and that would never change during his four years at Penn State. Though his role on the ground never improved much, Singleton exploded as a receiver in his sophomore and junior seasons. He caught 26 passes for 308 yards and two scores in 2023 and jumped to 41 grabs for 375 yards with five ...25 April 2026
Elliott (6'2"/231), 22, spent two seasons apiece at New Mexico State and Arizona State. In 2023, he earned second-team All-CUSA honors. In 2025, he earned second-team All-Big 12 honors. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler notes Elliott “was the only player from a power conference in 2025 with 90-plus tackles, 14-plus tackles for loss and seven-plus sacks.” He has just five passes defended and one interception over the past two seasons, and could be best suited to a run-defense role while helping o ...25 April 2026

Grumbs (6'4/245) committed to Northern Illinois as a wide receiver. He moved to tight end after playing primarily on special teams as a freshman. Grumbs then moved to EDGE after serving as a backup tight end for one year. Finally at his true position, Grumbs was immediately productive, racking up 6.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks with a pair of forced fumbles. He then transferred to Florida and served as a backup pass-rusher for one more year, notching five sacks along the way. In 2025, Grumbs tallied 2.5 ...25 April 2026
Taaffe (5'11/190) finished his collegiate career as a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, presented to the top player in the nation who began his career as a walk-on. He earned Third-Team Associated Press All American honors in his senior season after amassing 148 tackles during his final two years at Texas. Taaffe demonstrates elite football smarts, positioning, and instincts but lacks top-end speed, leaving him susceptible to vertical routes. He also lacks the agility and quickness to be effec ...25 April 2026
Bredeson (6’2”/252) joined Michigan as a walk-on in 2021 but found himself serving as a weekly contributor by 2022. In 2023, the TE/H-back appeared in all 15 games for the national champion Wolverines, helping to pave the way for a two-headed rushing attack that averaged 169.1 rushing yards per game while the offense finished the season ranked 14th in points per game.

Jefferson (6’0/223) is a rangy, twitchy WILL linebacker whose 79 tackles, 14 havoc plays and 5.5 TFLs reflect his ability to impact games in space rather than as a true box thumper. He added 3 sacks and generated 5 pressures on just 30 rushes (16.7 percent pressure rate), highlighting his burst and timing as a situational blitzer. Jefferson’s 9.23 RAS is driven by elite agility (6.81 three-cone, 97th percentil) and explosion (38.5” vertical, 95th percentile), allowing him to mirror backs a ...25 April 2026
Stephens (6’6"/315) is a technically polished, zone-scheme interior lineman whose consistency and production give him a reasonably high floor.

Johnson (5'10/192) turned heads at the Combine with a blistering 4.41 40-yard dash, highlighting elite straight-line speed. His willingness to play above his height and weight down low led to 86 or more tackles in each of his final three collegiate seasons, ultimately racking up 277 tackles since 2023. Johnson earned First-Team All Big-12 honors in 2025 while notching 97 tackles, four interceptions, and seven PBUs. His biggest shortcoming shouldn’t come as a surprise as he struggles to shed bl ...25 April 2026
He will join a Carolina coverage unit that gave up the league’s 11th highest drop back success rate and the tenth lowest adjusted yards per attempt in 2025. Wheatley (6’3/203) brings a long, linear frame with adequate athleticism (7.68 RAS) highlighted by strong agility testing (4.11s shuttle, 91st%) despite just average long speed (4.62s, 48th%). He produced 74 tackles with a 74.0% run-stop share and 83.1% tackle rate, operating as a high-volume box/overhang defender who consistently trigge ...25 April 2026
Joly (6’4/241) spent two years at UConn, breaking out in the second with a 52/578/2 receiving line. He then transferred to NC State and upped the ante again with 661 yards and four scores on 43 catches as a junior. Joly’s efficiency plummeted in 2025 and he turned six extra catches into 172 fewer yards, though he did score a career-high seven times. Joly doesn’t have one trait that sticks out as elite, but he can do a lot of things well. He navigates traffic after the catch well but is als ...25 April 2026

His 9.88 RAS underscores ...25 April 2026

Kansas State OC Sam Hecht is a technically polished interior lineman whose combination of efficiency and functional athleticism fits today’s zone-heavy NFL offenses.
