Which Sun Devils and Wildcats went in 2026 NFL Draft, and who is an undrafted signee?

The 2026 NFL Draft was the first since 2008 where ASU and Arizona had at least four players selected each, headlined by two first-round Sun Devils.

Wide receiver Jordyn Tyson went eighth overall, offensive tackle Max Iheanachor was picked at No. 21 and Arizona saw its first selection when defensive back Treydan Stukes was picked 38th.

The full trio of highly thought-of Arizona defensive backs in this draft — Stukes, Genesis Smith (131st) and Dalton Johnson (150th) — all came off the board before the Sun Devils’ next selection, with Johnson set to reunite with Stukes on the Las Vegas Raiders.

Arizona State’s own defensive back came off the board after a slight tumble, cornerback Keith Abney II going 157th after he was a widely projected Day 2 selection.

Linebacker Keyshaun Elliott was next at No. 166, which wrapped up Sun Devils selections. Arizona had a fourth defensive back, Michael Dansby, taken in the final three picks to close the book on the Wildcats choices.

Here are the Sun Devils and Wildcats going pro in 2026 via the NFL Draft and signing as undrafted free agents.
