The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and there were plenty of surprises. From the Los Angeles Rams taking Ty Simpson at No. 13 overall to the Arizona Cardinals shocking everyone by selecting Carson Beck as their potential quarterback of the future, the draft had no shortage of wild moments across all three days.
PFSN graded each selection and reacted to every single pick on our live 2026 NFL Draft Show, but now it’s time for the chaos that is undrafted free agency. Be sure to follow along to every UDFA signing with PFSN’s 2026 UDFA Tracker. And without further ado, here are the top-20 undrafted free agents based on PFSN’s Big Board.
S Louis Moore, Indiana | No. 79-Ranked Prospect
Louis Moore began his collegiate career as an unheralded recruit at JUCO Navarro College, and steadily built himself into one of the most prolific ball-hawks at the FBS level. Moore played at Navarro from 2019 through 2021 and joined the Indiana Hoosiers from 2022 through 2023, before playing one year at Ole Miss. Curt Cignetti brought Moore back to Bloomington in 2025, and Moore rewarded his trust with a first-team All-Big Ten and first-team All-American campaign, logging six interceptions as a key piece of Indiana’s Championship defense.
At around 5’11”, 191 pounds, Moore is close to average size, with a below-average length profile, but he compensates with fluid athleticism, brisk closing speed, and an extremely calm, composed, and calculated intelligence that defines his game. He’s one of the best in the class at managing positioning in zone, he reacts instantly to route breaks, and while his best plays come in space, he isn’t afraid to be physical at contact, either. Bearing similarity to Julian Love, Moore is an older prospect, but has impact starter upside as a versatile split-field and single-high safety.
OT Isaiah World, Oregon | No. 101-Ranked Prospect
Isaiah World was Oregon’s premier transfer portal addition in 2025, after starting three consecutive seasons at Nevada and earning All-Mountain West honors in 2023 and 2024. World started predominantly at right tackle in 2022, before moving to the left side, and he manned the blindside for the Ducks as a redshirt senior. At around 6’6″, 320 pounds, with near-35″ arms, World moves with easy explosiveness and nimble feet, and is aptly-named, with the frame of a real-life world-lifting titan.
That frame comes with all the raw power and strength you’d expect. At contact, World can dominate opponents with his force output and torque, he can throttle inserting defenders off their feet with his explosive power as a puller, and he’s a mauler who plays to the whistle and seeks to overwhelm. Despite being an older prospect, he’s still relatively reliant on his natural tools; he needs to improve his strike timing and precision, and he doesn’t have the high-end flexibility to compensate or aid in consistent recovery.
A torn ACL suffered in the CFB Playoffs further clouds his stock. Nevertheless, World’s ceiling is one of the highest in the class, and his raw tools and tenacity translate at guard if he doesn’t have the requisite refinement at OT.
LB Deontae Lawson, Alabama | No. 107-Ranked Prospect
Deontae Lawson was a full-time starter for the Alabama Crimson Tide for the better part of four years, and he has the combined experience and talent to earn the allure of NFL evaluators. Lawson began his Crimson Tide career as a primary special teamer, but took on more defensive snaps down the stretch in 2022, and his role only grew from there. In 2025, Lawson accumulated 89 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and four pass breakups.
As succinctly as it can be put, Lawson is just a good football player. He’s not quite the transcendant talent his former teammate Jihaad Campbell was, but Lawson is sound in both phases of the game. In run defense, he’s a twitched-up attacker who processes gaps quickly, explodes downhill, and takes on blocks with all of his long 239-pound frame.
Meanwhile, in the pass game, he has great coverage mobility, depth discipline, and hip leverage IQ in zone, and he’s aggressive on the attack as a blitzer. An experienced MIKE, Lawson can fill a void as a quality second-level commander at the next level.
LB Taurean York, Texas A&M | No. 121-Ranked Prospect
Taurean York joined the Texas A&M Aggies as a three-star recruit in 2023, and immediately emerged as a full-time starter. In 2024, he was named a team captain as a true sophomore, and in 2025, he functioned as the team’s “green dot” LB, calling signals pre-snap and getting teammates into position. At 5’10”, with likely sub-31″ arms, Taurean York won’t be every defensive coordinator’s preferred mold.
But for those who can look past the size, York stands out as one of the best MIKE linebackers in the class. He’s an elite processor who can command his unit pre-snap and toy with offensive protection looks to get favorable matchups, and he’s a fast-flowing support presence post-snap, who can erase running space with his lightning-quick burst and closing speed. On top of it all, he’s a fluid and instinctive coverage LB.
As one might expect, York’s tackling can be inconsistent at times with his lacking length, but he has good take-on, angle IQ, and form overall, and his impact as a central second-level presence arguably outweighs any volatility at contact. While his size will always be a slight limitation, York has the range and mental proficiency to supersede it and thrive as an NFL starter.
EDGE Anthony Lucas, USC | No. 136-Ranked Prospect
Anthony Lucas brings a perplexing evaluation to the fold in the 2026 NFL Draft cycle. A true senior and a former five-star recruit, Lucas passes the eye test with his long 6’5″, 272-pound frame and energized athleticism. However, the production and consistency haven’t quite come along for him, even in his fourth season.
The high-end flashes on tape are extremely enticing. At his size, Lucas has actionable power, stacking strength in the run game, and has shown he can win with inside counters using his lateral agility and heavy hands. Much of his evaluation is ultimately a projection, but he has even and odd-front versatility as a stand-up or hand-in-the-dirt rusher.
TE Michael Trigg, Baylor | No. 139-Ranked Prospect
Michael Trigg was a highly-touted high school recruit who bounced around from USC to Ole Miss, and finally to Baylor, where he at last caught on in 2024 and 2025. Across the 2025 season, Trigg racked up 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns — all career-highs. At 6’3″, 250 pounds, with over 34″ arms and 11′ hands, Trigg has a spidery frame built for snatching high-difficulty receptions, and he’s made a habit of producing acrobatic and one-handed grabs with the Bears.
He doesn’t provide much at all as a blocking presence, and that’ll be an area for improvement in the NFL if he doesn’t want to be limited by formation — but he’s undoubtedly a dynamic receiving threat with seam and red-zone utility.
CB Thaddeus Dixon, North Carolina | No. 150-Ranked Prospect
Thaddeus Dixon is a high-upside cornerback prospect who was expected to go in the mid-to-late rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. After racking up five interceptions in two seasons at Long Beach City College through 2021 and 2022, he transferred to Washington as a prized JUCO recruit, and immediately took on a starting role. His 2024 season with the Huskies was his best career year; he amassed an INT, two tackles for loss, and 10 pass breakups, while earning a strong PFSN CB Impact grade of 84.
In 2025, his PFSN CB Impact grade fell to 77.1, but he still flashed promise on an embattled North Carolina squad. At the Senior Bowl, Dixon recaptured some of that 2024 magic. Particularly later in the week, he was one of the best CBs present, showing off sticky press-man ability, keen instincts in zone, and a playmaking zeal that set him apart.
At around 6’0″, 195 pounds, with 31 1/2″ arms, Dixon has decent length, to pair with springy explosive athleticism, elite reactive coil and twitch, unhinged physical energy, and great hip sink and malleability on breaks. Dixon’s experience has bestowed him with stellar technical variability, processing speed, and run support chops, and while he doesn’t have high-end vertical speed, his long-strider explosion aids in recovery. Dixon was pulled over multiple times for speeding in his time at Chapel Hill, and also received a citation for reckless driving.
Thus, teams will have to thoroughly vet his off-field discipline. But if Dixon passes the character evaluation, he has compelling traits as an immediate rotational contributor and potential scheme-diverse NFL starter down the road.
DT Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati | No. 153-Ranked Prospect
Dontay Corleone, nicknamed “the Godfather,” was a standout defender on the CFB stage ever since he set foot on the field at Nippert Stadium. Born and raised in Cincinnati, he had an opportunity to transfer after his three-sack, six-TFL redshirt freshman season, but chose to see out and finish his career with his hometown squad. Later in his career, he never quite recaptured the pass-rushing production that was present early on, but he maintained a presence as a high-quality run defender.
Per TruMedia, he allowed just 1.42 yards per run stop in 2025. At 6’0 1/2″ and 340 pounds, Corleone is an incredibly unique archetype at the DT position. He’s stout and squatty, with stellar mass and proportional length, all of which amounts to superb gap control and power absorption at nose tackle.
He’s also flashed legitimate power drive and lower-body activation as a pass-rusher, and can at least squeeze the pocket from the fulcrum and force centers to call for reinforcements. Corleone’s steady regression as a pass-rusher is concerning, however, and it culminated in a 2025 season where he produced an uninspiring 2% true pressure rate, and failed to log a sack. Certain truths have always been evident with Corleone; he has close to average quickness and flexibility, and those qualities were more limiting in 2025.
A blood clot issue in 2024 also bears noting, but Corleone has been “all systems go” since. He profiles as an odd-front nose who can function as a tree stump against the run, but is limited with his pass-rush utility.
DT Rene Konga, Louisville | No. 156-Ranked Prospect
Rene Konga is a sleeper DT prospect with hyper-elite tools to mold. He began his career with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights as a three-star recruit in 2020. He redshirted his first season and scarcely played in 2021, but found his way into the rotation in 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, he transferred to Louisville and started six of 11 games played, logging 2.5 sacks and three tackles for loss. The 2025 season saw him achieve a career-high in TFLs with five, while adding 1.5 sacks to his total. He earned a strong PFSN DT Impact grade of 82, and per TruMedia, he allowed just 1.32 yards per run stop on average.
At around 6’4″, 298 pounds, with over 33″ arms, Konga has an impressively-built frame with good natural leverage, lean mass, and proportional length, and he also boasts rare athleticism. At his pro day, he ran a 4.78 40-yard dash with a 1.63 10-yard split, and put up a 37″ vertical and 10’2″ broad jump. That inhuman explosiveness shows up on film, and it enables Konga not only to teleport across gap alignments and penetrate upfield, but also to siphon elite levels of raw power from his lower body and reset the contact point.
In run defense, Konga can explode to his landmarks, stack blocks, encumber double-teams, and he’s flashed the ability to two-gap in spurts. Meanwhile, as a pass-rusher, he has a high floor as a contain defender and deflection merchant, and there are flashes of awe-inspiring raw power and combo work. His consistency is very much a work-in-progress; his pass-rush precision and counter quickness are decidedly below-average, and his balance suffers frequent lapses at contact as well.
Additionally, while Konga has good leverage acquisition and base load, he can drift upright farther into reps, losing proper alignment. As a sixth-year senior, he’ll be an older rookie, but he has an instant floor as a rotational lineman with the versatility to play from 1-tech to 7-tech situationally, and with more refinement, he can become an impact starter.
S Skyler Thomas, Oregon State | No. 160-Ranked Prospect
Skyler Thomas is safety prospect with moderate athletic limitations but also clear utility in specific schemes. Originally a cornerback recruit out of Menlo Park, California, Thomas signed with Oregon State as a three-star talent in 2021. He played special teams and saw rotational reps in 2021, and had his role expanded in 2022, but then missed the entire 2023 campaign to a preseason injury.
In 2024, Thomas returned and played in all 12 games, accruing an interception and nine pass breakups. And in 2025, he was a full-time starter at safety, adding 78 tackles, an INT, and four PBUs to his career totals. He also earned a PFSN Safety Impact score of 83.1, and per TruMedia, he allowed just 0.3 yards per coverage snap, as well as a lowly 34.3 opposing QB rating.
Thomas’ play would earn him an invite to the Senior Bowl, where he proved himself as a playmaking threat against opposing QBs. At around 6’2″, 210 pounds, with over 32″ arms, Thomas is long and well-built, with good explosive athleticism and half-field range. He sizes up well in support and is a willing competitor coming downhill, and while he experiences lapses in breakdown timing on occasion, he’s shown he can properly wrap up and halt solo runners with his length.
In coverage, Thomas has two-high and single-high experience, though without high-end vertical speed, he fits best in Cover 2 schemes at the NFL level. Having said that, Thomas counteracts his vertical limitations with excellent processing ability, route recognition, spatial reasoning, and coverage variability working at different depths. Without elite range or hip fluidity, and with some volatility as a tackle seeker, Thomas’ ceiling is slightly capped, but he’s an experienced, versatile depth player in the immediate timeline, with mid-level starter potential in split-field schemes.
LB Lander Barton, Utah | No. 163-Ranked Prospect
Lander Barton was a prestigious four-star recruit in the 2022 class, who had offers from a host of blue-blood programs including Michigan and Notre Dame. But having played high school football ten minutes from Utah’s campus, Barton ultimately chose to play for his hometown school, and he made an instant impact in 2022, amassing eight tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. Barton never replicated his freshman year production behind the line of scrimmage; a lower-body injury ended his 2023 season and had residual effects in 2024.
His 2025 was a decent endcap to a productive career, but questions still remain. At peak form, Barton is a physical and fast-flowing downhill defender with elite competitive urgency and imposing point-of-contact power. He can properly read initial movements, engage, stack blocks, and contend in crowds, and he has actionable blitzing utility as well.
Within this mold, however, Barton still has room to add mass to his frame, and a troubling 12% missed tackle rate in 2025 casts doubt over his form and breakdown angle consistency in pursuit. Additionally, he lacks the full-field range to match his short-area explosive element, and while he’s a heady coverage player with the length to clog passing lanes, his middling coverage mobility limits his upside on passing downs. Barton projects best as an attacking SAM linebacker and has mid-level starter potential, but his ceiling may be capped.
EDGE Tyreak Sapp, Florida | No. 176-Ranked Prospect
Tyreak Sapp might not be the highest-ranked Florida defender on PFSN’s board, but he was the heart and soul of the Gators defense in 2024, with 7 sacks, 13 TFLs, and 2 forced fumbles to his name. His production stalled in 2025, but he still has a compelling outlook for evaluators, with projected alignment versatility. At 6’3″, 275 pounds, he’s a compact, high-mass, well-leveraged edge defender with fleet-footed acceleration, smooth lateral agility, inspiring ankle flexion and bend capacity, imposing strength at contact, and a red-hot motor on all three downs.
With his sawed-off build, Sapp does bring less-than-ideal length to the table, which limits his maximum raw power capacity at times. To that end, his margin for error is slimmer against longer blockers, and he’s still refining his hand usage and precision. Nevertheless, the build, the motor, and the upward trajectory sells his stock.
OT Tristan Leigh, Clemson | No. 179-Ranked Prospect
Tristan Leigh isn’t a finished product yet, but he boasts one of the highest ceilings in the 2026 NFL Draft, for a likely non-Round 1 price. A distinguished three-year starter for a competitive Clemson team, Leigh boasts superlative explosiveness, raw power output, and physicality at 6’6″, 315 pounds, with domineering length and width. His energized motion and twitch sets him apart from most trench defenders, and he flashes jarring violence and stifling core strength as a pass protector.
Even with his previous experience, Leigh still needs to improve his anchor footwork, hand precision and timing, and upper-lower synergy in pass protection, but he’s a certified power generator and people-mover in the run game with astronomical two-phase upside. His development upside is extremely high at OT, but with an explosiven power element that translates in close quarters, a transition to guard is also on the table.
TE Dae’Quan Wright, Ole Miss | No. 183-Ranked Prospect
Dae’Quan Wright is a high-upside TE prospect. He originally suited up for Virginia Tech as a four-star signee in 2022 and 2023, compiling 47 catches and 574 yards across two seasons with the Hokies. In 2024, Wright transferred to Ole Miss to play under Lane Kiffin.
The result was two consecutive career-best seasons, culminating in a 2025 campaign that saw Wright log 39 catches for 635 yards and five TDs, as well as a solid PFSN TE Impact grade of 80.6. In particular, Wright excelled as a RAC threat, achieving a RAC yards over expectation figure of 6.16 that ranks first place among TE prospects in draftable range. At 6’4″ and almost 250 pounds with over 32″ arms, Wright has good size and excellent linear athleticism.
He’s explosive in space with powerful long-strider acceleration and effortless long speed, and his combined strength and speed make him a bear to contend with for solo tacklers in the RAC phase. While his route running execution can oscillate between methodical and lethargic, he flashes good stem IQ, cutting flexibility on breaks, and zone awareness, he has strong hands in contact situations, and he’s a powerful, physical presence as a blocker, with the capability to play in-line, insert into gaps from H-back alignments, or block out in space and drive into opponents with energetic leg churn. Wright’s over-arching consistency remains a point of emphasis.
He can be prone to mental blunders at times, and while his hands are decent, he can improve at controlling the catch point in contested situations with timing and instincts. Nevertheless, Wright has immediate appeal as a high-upside TE2 with RAC and blocking value, and he has the upside to be an impact starter in time, with more development.
OT/OG Fa’alili Fa’amoe, Wake Forest | No. 185-Ranked Prospect
Fa’alili Fa’amoe followed Washington State head coach Jake Dickert to Wake Forest, for what was his sixth and final season at the CFB level. Though he’s an older prospect with predominantly right tackle experience, Fa’amoe has the physical and intangible traits to challenge for starting reps early in his NFL career, likely as a tackle-to-guard convert. At 6’5″, 314 pounds, with 34″ arms, Fa’amoe has stellar lean mass and proportional length, and he’s a light-footed lateral mover who excels at staying square with rushers and keeping balance.
He uses smooth footwork and active hands to corral attackers on passing downs, and he has clear people-moving ability in the run game with his linear explosiveness, driving power, and relentless physicality. Fa’amoe is a bit stiff in the hips, which reduces his recovery range; that’s been the main driver for talks of a transition to guard. But his experience and upper-lower sync aids him at tackle, and should he shift inside eventually, he has the phone-booth profile and physicality to be a quality player.
DT Zxavian Harris, Ole Miss | No. 192-Ranked Prospect
Zxavian Harris is a high-upside DT prospect with unmatched physical traits, but also pressing concerns to address. He signed with Ole Miss out of high school as a four-star recruit and entered the starting rotation as a true sophomore in 2023. He served a major role on the Rebels’ line from 2023 to 2025, but 2025 was Harris’ most productive season.
In his final year, Harris logged nine tackles for loss, three sacks, three pass breakups, and a decent PFSN DT Impact score of 80.4. Harris’ character demands careful vetting; he has two arrests on his record, one for a DUI and various driving violations, and another for domestic violence and obstructing arrest. And on film, those same character concerns aren’t fully alleviated, as his motor can run very hot-and-cold.
Still, for teams that give Harris the all-clear off the field, he’ll present tantalizing physical upside to mold. At 6’8″, 330 pounds, with near-35″ arms, Harris has domineering size, mass, and length, to pair with frightening initial explosiveness off the snap. His natural play strength can be overwhelming for displacement-seeking linemen, and he has the athleticism to play all across the defensive line, from 1-tech to 5-tech, and sometimes beyond as a wide-alignment stand-up rusher.
Harris’ explosiveness is very slow-footed and lumbering, and he’s not incredibly flexible at his size, either. In the pass-rush phase, he’s still relatively unrefined with his hand usage and counter arsenal beyond initial power, and pad level management is a constant struggle for him. Still, Harris’ blend of elite raw explosion, size, and strength readies him for instant NFL contact contention, and even if he isn’t a refined two-phase playmaker, he can be a handful as an alignment-versatile gap occluder and space-closer in pursuit.
Harris has tantalizing long-term upside and a respectable floor imbued by his raw traits, but those outcomes dictate that he lives up to the bargain off the field and continues developing on it.
