● Keith Cooper Jr., DL, Houston

After three seasons at Tulane, Cooper shifted to Houston for his final college season. Appearing in 51 games total, he tallied 46 tackles and 3.5 sacks for the Cougars in 2024, earning second-team all-conference honors. Primarily playing on the edge, he’s thickly built at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, with arms longer than 34 inches.

● Leif Fautanu, C, Arizona State

A two-year starter at UNLV who finished with two more seasons at Arizona State, Fautanu exclusively played center during his college career, logging more than 3,000 snaps. He measured in at 6-foot-1, 298 pounds, with long arms and massive hands.

● Gavin Holmes, CB, Texas

A two-year starter at outside cornerback for the Longhorns, Holmes transferred to the school from Wake Forest. Speedy and explosive, he allowed just 47.8% of throws targeting him to be completed last season but had limited ball production with just three breakups and zero interceptions. In addition to his defensive role, he logged extensive snaps on multiple special teams groups.

● Jakobie Keeney-James, WR, UMass

An extremely athletic outside receiver who measured just under six feet and weighed 190 pounds. Keeney-James posted elite results in every drill, including the bench press (17 reps) and a 4.37-second 40-yard dash after catching 50 passes for 839 yards and six touchdowns last season. He spent five years at Eastern Washington before transferring to UMass.

● Ian Kennelly, S, Grand Valley State

Possessing great size and athleticism, the 6-foot-2, 209-pounder posted excellent results in the 40-yard dash, broad jump and short shuttle. Earning First-Team All-GLIAC honors last season, Kennelly recorded 64 tackles and three interceptions. A Michigan native, he played his high school ball for Utica Eisenhower.

● Mason Miller, OL, North Dakota State

The other North Dakota offensive tackle, Miller played opposite first-round pick Gray Zabel. Miller is 6-foot-7, 306 pounds. He started 41 games the past three seasons, earning first-team FCS All-American honors from the Associated Press in 2024. He has starting experience at right tackle and left guard.

● Jackson Meeks, WR, Syracuse

After struggling to see the field for three seasons at Georgia, Meeks transferred to Syracuse and caught 78 balls for 1,021 yards and seven scores in 2024. Primarily an outside receiver with some special teams experience, he showed impressive ability in his pre-draft testing, yet ran a subpar 40-yard dash for his position (4.64 seconds). According to his Wikipedia page, Meeks is the nephew of former Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith.

● Caden Prieskorn, TE, Ole Miss

A long and lean tight end, measuring in at 6-foot-5 and 246 pounds. Prieskorn spent three seasons at Memphis before finishing up his college career with two years at Ole Miss. He averaged 484 receiving yards and five touchdowns over his final three seasons. Another local product, he played at Orchard Lake St. Mary’s. His brother, Brady, is a tight end at the University of Michigan.

● Kye Robichaux, RB, Boston College

After two seasons at Western Kentucky, the 5-foot-11, 209-pound Robichaux finished up with two more at Boston College. In 24 games with the Eagles, he racked up 1,524 and 18 touchdowns on the ground and chipped in another 152 yards on 24 receptions.

● Anthony Tyus III, RB, Ohio

A thickly built back at 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, Tyus didn’t do much during three seasons at Northwestern before exploding for 1,215 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and nine touchdowns for the Bobcats in 2024. He played for Portage High School, just outside of Kalamazoo.
