With the 2025 NFL Draft set to begin in late April, the Eagles will be allowed to host up to 30 prospects at the NovaCare Complex for a pre-draft visit.
While it doesn’t necessarily mean the Eagles will draft these players — there are plenty of reasons to host prospects — it at least gives us a sense of some interest they’re showing in these players. Last year, the Eagles selected Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson, who all visited before the draft.
As we hear of them, we’ll drop them here:

SIGN UP HERE Justin Walley, CB, Minnesota: Walley, 22, was a four-year starter as an outside cornerback at Minnesota. Walley (5-10, 190) had a partially torn MCL that kept him out of two games in 2024, so this could be a medical check. Walley is considered to be a Day 3 pick. (Jeff McLane)
Malaki Starks, S, Georgia: Starks was a three-year starter at Georgia who offers a ton of versatility based on his career with the Bulldogs. Starks (6-1, 197) was a first-team All-American each of the last two years and would be a plug-and-play starting safety to draft in the first round. (Eliot Shorr-Parks)
Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State: Williams (6-3, 329) was a two-year starter for the Buckeyes but didn’t put up crazy numbers with a total of 11 1/2 sacks in his college career. But Williams has pass rush upside and is already a stout run defender. He figures to be a late Day 1, early Day 2 pick. (Aaron Wilson)
Jaylin Smith, CB, USC: Smith (5-11, 187) was a three-year starter at USC and played both outside corner and nickel. His size might rule him out as an outside corner in the NFL for some teams. He also had just 3 interceptions and 8 pass breakups in his college career. Could be a Day 3 pick. (Jeff McLane)

T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina: This is a good and deep DT class and Sanders has the potential to be a first- or second-round pick. Sanders (6-4, 297) had 8 1/2 sacks and 16 1/2 TFLs over his final two college seasons and has real pass-rush upside in the NFL. (Adam Schefter)
Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M: Scourton (6-3, 257) began his college career at Purdue but was a first-team All-SEC edge rusher in his one year with the Aggies with 14 TFLs and 5 sacks. Scourton has some athleticism but is a good power rusher too. He projects to go late in the first round, early in the second. (Ryan Fowler)
Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss: Amos (6-1, 195) played at Louisiana and Alabama before playing at Mississippi in 2024 and started 13 games with 3 interceptions. He ran a 4.43 at the Combine and would fit a zone scheme. (Mike Garafolo)
Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State: At 5-10, 191 pounds, Parrish is an undersized cornerback who is extremely athletic. He ran a 4.35 at the combine, had a vertical jump of 37.5 inches and a broad jump of 10-9. Parrish was a two-year starter at K-State, who played inside and outside. But his size might force him inside in the NFL. (Jake Rabadi)
Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M: Turner (6-3, 290) was a three-year starter and offers some inside-outside versatility on the defensive line. He had 8 sacks over the last two years and has the upside to be a penetrating interior lineman in the NFL. (ML Football)
Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia: Fairchild was the Bulldogs' starting left guard the last two seasons and could be a Day 2 pick. Fairchild (6-5, 318) is one of several offensive linemen brought in for visits this year. (Ryan Fowler)
Femi Oladejo, Edge, UCLA: Oladejo (6-3, 259) began his college career at Cal before finishing up the last two years at UCLA and had 4 1/2 sacks and 13 1/2 TFLs in his senior season. Oladejo made the switch from off-ball linebacker to edge rusher during the 2024 season and found success. (Justin Melo)
Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State: Jackson (6-4, 315) mostly played left guard for the Buckeyes but stepped in to replace Josh Simmons at left tackle in 2024 and played fairly well, although his best fit in the NFL will likely be back at guard. Jackson is big and athletic and should develop into a quality NFL starter. (Tony Pauline)
Tyler Baron, Edge, Miami: Baron (6-5, 258) began his career and played four years at Tennessee before finishing up at Miami in 2024. Last season, he had 5 1/2 sacks and 11 TFLs. In his 61 career games, Baron had 19 sacks and 39 TFLs. He’s likely to be a mid-round pick. (Tony Pauline)
Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary: Grant (6-5, 311) was a high school wrestler who didn’t begin playing football until his junior year of high school. But he did get significant experience at William & Mary, starting 41 games in his college career for a run-heavy offense. Likely a Day 2 or 3 pick. (Justin Melo)
Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas: Blue (5-9, 196) had a strong junior season in 2024 with 730 yards and 8 touchdowns on the ground and was a key in the receiving game with 42 catches for 368 yards and 6 touchdowns. And his workload was limited in college to just 214 total rushing attempts. He turned heads with his 4.38 at the Combine and followed that up by running a sub-4.30 at his pro day. (Jordan Reid)
Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College: The South Jersey (Williamstown High School) product is considered to be one of the top edge rushers in this class and likely solidified his first-round status over the last few months with a stellar Senior Bowl performance and then a big-time showing at the Combine, where his 3-cone time of 6.94 was the best of all edge rushers. Ezeiruaku was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and an All-American in 2024 after having 16 1/2 sacks and 20 1/2 TFLs. (Eliot Shorr-Parks)
Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky: Hairston (5-11, 183) was a two-year starter at Kentucky and had 6 interceptions and 10 pass breakups in 20 games over the last two seasons. Five of those interceptions came in 2023 and he returned two of them to the house. Hairston ran a blazing 4.28 at the Combine and is on Daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 player list ahead of the 2025 draft.

Elijah Roberts, DL, SMU: Roberts began his career at Miami but spent the last two seasons at SMU and put up big numbers. In 2023 and 2024, Roberts had 17 1/2 sacks and 24 tackles for loss for the Mustangs. At 6-foot-4, 285 pounds, Roberts is a bit of a tweener who could play inside or out on the Eagles’ line. (Joseph Hoyt)
Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue: Mbow (6-4, 303) played right guard and right tackle during his career at Purdue but seems more of a fit at guard in the NFL. He’s not the biggest guys but has the type of athleticism to make up for it. (Mbow’s Instagram)
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon: At 6-foot-5, 311 pounds, Conerly isn’t the biggest tackle but has the frame to be an NFL tackle. He played left tackle as a starter two years at Oregon and was a first-team All-Big Ten player in 2024. Conerly had a nice showing at the Combine with a 5.05 in the 40-yard dash and a vertical jump of 34 1/2 inches. (James Crepea, Oregonian)
Anthony Belton, OT, NC State: If the Eagles are looking for size, Belton has it. He’s 6-foot-6, 336 pounds and has an arm length of just under 34 inches. Belton played left tackle at NC State. (Devin Jackson, Philadelphia Inquirer)
Jalen Travis, OL, Iowa State: Another massive prospect, Travis is 6-foot-8, 339 pounds. Travis was a starter at left tackle in his only season at Iowa State after starting his college career at Princeton. (Zach Berman, PHLY)
