HBCU Undrafted Free Agent Tracker | HBCU Legends

HBCU Undrafted Free Agent Tracker | HBCU Legends
Posted By: S. Moore on May 02, 2023

The 2023 NFL Draft has been interesting, but the fact that no HBCU players were drafted is noteworthy. Many of our HBCU athletes have been contacted by NFL teams and given undrafted free-agent contracts or rookie mini-camp tryouts.



2023 HBCU NFL DRAFTED PLAYERS
Isaiah Bolden, DB (Jackson State) - New England Patriots

Here is list of the 2023 HBCU Players' UDFA Tracker:

2023 NFL HBCU UDFA PLAYERS TRACKER

  1. Mark Evans II, OL (UAPB) - New Orleans Saints
  2. Shaq Davis, WR (South Carolina State) - New Orleans Saints
  3. Isaiah Land, LB (FAMU) - Dallas Cowboys
  4. Aubrey Miller Jr., LB (Jackson State) - Miami Dolphins
  5. Xavier Smith, WR (FAMU) - Los Angeles Rams
  6. Joshua Pryor, DE (Bowie State) - Washington Commanders
  7. Andrew Farmer, DE (Lane) - Los Angeles Chargers
  8. Jadakis Bonds, WR (Hampton) - San Francisco 49ers
  9. Keenan Isaac, DB (Alabama State) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  10. Ali Shockey, DB (Hampton) - Washington Commanders
  11. Dallas Daniels, WR (Jackson State) - Denver Broncos
  12. Cam Peterson, DL (Southern) - Baltimore Ravens
  13. Claudin Cherelus, LB (Alcorn State) - New York Jets
  14. Dion Golatt, QB (Bowie State) - Baltimore Ravens
  15. De'Jahn 'Nugget' Warren, CB (Jackson State) - Chicago Bears
  16. Raymond Boone, DB (Bowie State) - Washington Commanders
  17. Emmanuel Wilson, RB (Fort Valley State) - Denver Broncos
  18. Keshaun Moore, LB (Hampton) - Indianapolis Colts
  19. Ricky Lee, OL (North Carolina A&T) - Carolina Panthers
  20. Darius Hagans, RB (Virginia State) - Indianapolis Colts


    21. OTHER LEAGUES: HBCU PLAYERS' TRACKER
    Ronnie Thomas, DE (Mississippi Valley State) - Calgary Stampeders, CFL
    Ryan McDaniel, WR (North Carolina Central) - Memphis Showboats, USFL

    Players to Watch
    The notable signings of Land, Evans, Miller, Smith, Davis, Isaac, Warren, and Bonds should be closely watched.

    In covering the New Orleans Saints for the Saints News Network, Mark Evans II and Shaq Davis have real shots at making the 53-man roster or practice squads if they demonstrate quick learning and consistent camp performances.
