The bowl season gives fans and scouts alike a chance to analyze NFL Draft prospects against solid competition. Bowl scheduling allows all eyes to be on each game. Here are the NFL Draft prospects in the 2025 Citrus Bowl.
Michigan Wolverines Draft Prospects
Derrick Moore, EDGE
Moore joined Michigan in 2022. He had eight total tackles, two tackles for loss and two sacks in his first year. In 2023, he had 34 total tackles, six tackles for loss and five sacks. For the 2024 season, he tallied 23 tackles, six tackles for loss and four sacks. This season has been his best yet, as Moore has 30 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks.
At 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds, he has a filled-out frame, but there might be some questions about his length. His sack production this season has been great and has helped his stock. He could be a mid-round draft pick.
Projected Draft Range: Third Round Pick-Fifth Round Pick
Jyaire Hill, CB
Hill played sparingly as a freshman on the Michigan national championship team. He had eight total tackles that season. Hill had a larger role in 2024, as he had 35 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and one sack. This season, he has registered 33 total tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack.
He stands 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, so he can continue to fill out his frame for the next level. Hill is just a junior, so returning to school to improve his stock is likely.
Projected Draft Range: Fifth Round Pick-Seventh Round Pick
Other Draft Prospects:
DL Rayshaun Benny (6th-UFA), RB Max Bredeson (6th-UFA), LB Jimmy Rolder (6th-UFA), TE Marlin Klein (6th-UFA), S Zeke Berry (UFA), IOL Giovani El-Hadi (UFA), LB Ernest Hausmann (UFA)
Opt-outs/Injuries:
RB Justice Haynes (3rd-5th)
Texas Longhorns Draft Prospects
Trevor Goosby, OT
Goosby joined Texas in 2023 and redshirted. He played two games that season, then made two starts in 2024. This season has been his first as a full-time starter. He was named First Team All-SEC for his play.
At 6-foot-7 and 312 pounds, Goosby has a nice frame for an NFL offensive tackle. The tape hasn’t been the most consistent this season, but his size and traits make him a player to watch. He could return to school if he doesn’t like where he may go in this draft.
Projected Draft Range: First Round Pick-Second Round Pick
Jack Endries, TE
Endries played the first two seasons of his college career with California. He had 91 catches for 1,030 yards and four touchdowns over his two seasons with the Golden Bears. Endries transferred to Texas for the 2025 season. This season, he has 28 catches for 311 yards and two touchdowns.
He stands at 6-foot-4 and 236 pounds, which gives him good height for an NFL tight end, but leaves some room for his frame to be filled out. Endries may not be an in-line tight end, but he can present a matchup problem as a pass-catcher. He has eligibility remaining and could return to school to improve his draft stock.
Projected Draft Range: Fourth Round Pick-Sixth Round Pick
Other Draft Prospects: IOL DJ Campbell (6th-UFA), RB Quintrevion Wisner (6th-UFA), DL Hero Kanu (6th-UFA), EDGE Trey Moore (6th-UFA), EDGE Ethan Burke (UFA), S Jelani McDonald (UFA), DL Cole Brevard (UFA), CB Jaylon Guilbeau (UFA), IOL Cole Huston (UFA)
Opt-outs/Injuries:
LB Anthony Hill (1st-2nd), CB Malik Muhammad (2nd-4th), S Michael Taafe (4th-6th)
