While many college football players didn’t get to see their name flash on the TV screen during the 2025 NFL Draft, there were several from the Fresno-area that will get a chance to make rosters.

From Fresno State, OL Braylen Nelson is signing with the New York Giants; WR Mac Dalena (Kansas City Chiefs); LB Tuasivi Nomura (Carolina Panthers) and DB Dean Clark (New York Jets).

Central East High head coach Kyle Biggs announced some of his players that will also get opportunities.

They are RB Quali Conley (Cincinnati Bengals); WR Jeremiah Hunter (Chicago Bears) and DL Ricky Correia (New York Giants).
