A Texas non-FBS player is not projected to be taken in the 2025 NFL Draft. The last time a player from a non-FBS school in Texas was not selected during the draft was in 2021. The previous two non-FBS players from Texas drafted went on to help their teams win the Super Bowl. BJ Thompson (Stephen F. Austin) was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023, and Jaylx Hunt (Houston Christian) was a key member of the Philadelphia Eagles' run to the title last season.
The last three non-FBS players from Texas drafted by an NFL franchise have won a Super Bowl championship. Zyon McCollum (Sam Houston) teamed with Hunt and the Eagles this season after being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022.
