Michelle Gardner, Arizona RepublicWed, December 17, 2025 at 1:15 AM UTC·3 min readThe 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. This is shaping up to be a year in which the Sun Devils could have a half dozen or more athletes selected.
The last year in which Arizona State had multiple selections was 2022, when four players were picked, the highest being running back Rachaad White, a third-round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Here is a list of ASU football players who have declared for the NFL draft, with a short rundown on each of them.
TE Chamon Metayer (Sr., 6-foot-4, 255)
Metayer has been with ASU for the last two years and managed 70 catches for 681 yards and nine touchdowns. He played his first two years of college football at the University of Cincinnati. Metayer has had a career-best this season with 38 catches for 375 yards in 2025. His best game was a six-catch, 68-yard outing in a road win at Iowa State. He is also a quality blocker, which will make him an attractive recruit.

Rowser is rounding out his second season in Tempe, after previous stops at Campbell and New Mexico State. His best season was 2024, when he registered a team-high 98 tackles, 3.5 for loss, one sack, and five pass breakups, which helped earn him Big 12 Honorable Mention accolades. This season, he has 79 tackles, with three passes defended. He is the nephew of defensive back John Rowser, a member of the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers as a rookie in 1967.
WR Jordyn Tyson (Jr., 6-foot-2, 195)
Tyson has been pegged as a top-10 pick and the top wide receiver off the board in most projections, but the question of durability will come up as he missed games this season with a hamstring issue, and his 2024 ended with a broken collarbone. He also had a knee injury at Colorado as a true freshman in 2022. In three years, he has totaled 158 catches for 2,282 yards and 22 touchdowns. His breakout season in 2024 featured 75 receptions for 1,101 yards and 22 touchdowns, which earned him third-team All-America honors by the Associated Press and Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. His brother Jaylon was a first-round draft pick by the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers in 2024.

Wodtly played three years at Cincinnati before coming to ASU, where he has spent the last two. This season, he managed career highs in tackles (36) and sacks (6). Those six sacks are second on the team to Keyshaun Elliott's seven. Two of those sacks came in the Sun Devils' win at Colorado. Wodtly is playing in the Sun Bowl outing against Duke.
