Michigan State Spartans Go Undrafted: Who's Landing Where?

Beyond the Draft: Next Steps for Spartans

The end of the NFL Draft doesn't signal the end of careers for many college players. As soon as the final pick, Mr. Irrelevant at #257, is announced, another flurry of activity begins. NFL teams scramble to sign undrafted free agents (UDFAs), and this year, Michigan State is sending multiple players into the league. After having offensive lineman Matt Gulbin and punter Ryan Eckley drafted, five more Spartans have secured opportunities with pro teams.

Who Signed Where?

Here's the rundown of the Spartans who earned their UDFAs:

• Quindarius Dunnigan, DL – Houston Texans
• Omari Kelly, WR – Chicago Bears
• Malik Spencer, DB – Washington Commanders
• Elijah Tau-Tolliver, RB – Baltimore Ravens
• Jack Velling, TE – Atlanta Falcons

The Road Ahead

Entering training camps as an undrafted free agent is a daunting yet thrilling proposition. Each of these players faces stiff competition, but their college careers have equipped them with resilience and skill. The potential for a spot on the regular season roster hinges not only on talent but also on ability to adapt quickly to the professional level. They'll need to showcase their worth in practices and pre-season games.

"It's all about seizing the moment. Every play counts, and every day is an opportunity to prove yourself," – a sentiment echoed by many former undrafted players who found success.
