The 2025 NFL Draft wrapped up on Saturday evening and saw two Indiana football players get drafted — including a few record setting stats.

Defensive lineman CJ West went in the fourth round and became the highest-drafted defensive player from the Indiana football program since 2008. He’ll begin his career with the San Francisco 49ers.

Then a few rounds later, quarterback Kurtis Rourke heard his name called in the seventh round, joining CJ West in San Fransisco. He became the first quarterback from Indiana to be selected in the NFL Draft since 2016.

2025’s draft also becomes the first time since 2018 in which multiple Indiana football players were drafted.

Six other Indiana football players quickly signed undrafted free agents contracts, however. Here’s a look at where each player signed.

Linebacker Jailin Walker: Las Vegas Raiders

Defensive Lineman James Carpenter: Jacksonville Jaguars

Wide Receiver Myles Price: Minnesota Vikings

Wide Receiver Ke’Shawn Williams: Pittsburgh Steelers

Tight End Zach Horton: Detroit Lions

Offensive Lineman Trey Wedig: Las Angeles Rams

Indiana football is coming off of a historic season — an 11-2 record and trip to the College Football Playoffs.
