The Beavers had several players declare for the pros, but where did they end up?
For the first time since 2019, Oregon State football did not have a player selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Seven rounds came and went without a Beavers player hearing his name called, as offensive lineman Joshua Gray was listed among the best players available when the seventh and final round concluded on Saturday.
Four players have since signed undrafted free agent deals with four different teams:
-Joshua Gray, OL (Atlanta Falcons)
-Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, OL (Baltimore Ravens)
-Jermaine Terry, TE (New York Giants)
-Jaden Robinson, CB (Denver Broncos)
These players will have an opportunity to make a NFL roster the hard way, but it’s not impossible. Around 20% of UDFAs make rosters across the league, according to the College Football Network, acting as a crucial backfill for teams as injuries pile up throughout the season.
Upwards of 12% of NFL starters are former undrafted players. And many remain connected with NFL franchises as practice squad players while earning $12,500 a week if they have less than two years of service in the league. Not a bad gig if you can get it.
Several former undrafted Oregon State players are currently in the NFL: cornerback Isaiah Dunn (Green Bay Packers), cornerback Ryan Cooper Jr. (Miami Dolphins), cornerback Rezjohn Wright (New Orleans Saints), and punter Johnny Hekker (Tennessee Titans).
