Texas Stars Seek NFL Futures Post-Draft Frenzy
26 Apr
Summary
- Six Texas Longhorns were drafted, with more players pursuing free agent signings.
- Cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau and DE Ethan Burke are top free agent targets.
- Matthew Caldwell signed with the Los Angeles Rams as a quarterback.
The 2026 NFL Draft has concluded, resulting in six Texas Longhorns players hearing their names called. As the draft dust settles, the attention now turns to the free agent market, where teams are actively pursuing priority signings to complete their rosters. Several former Longhorns are expected to find new professional homes.
Among the most sought-after undrafted free agents are cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau, who previously attended the NFL Combine, and defensive end Ethan Burke, who was notably excluded from the combine list. Both players are seen as prime targets for teams looking to bolster their rosters.
Quarterback Matthew Caldwell, after a single season with the Longhorns, has earned an opportunity with the Los Angeles Rams. He will compete for a spot on the team's roster, facing established players like Matthew Stafford and promising young quarterbacks.
Cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau is reportedly heading to the Carolina Panthers. Despite a less than stellar senior season, Guilbeau's combine performance and potential at the nickel back position could offer him a pathway to the NFL with the Panthers.
