Playoff Capsule: Tulane prospects for Packers fans to watch
During the 2025 NFL Draft, the Packers selected three players who competed in the 2024-2025 College Football Playoffs. Brian Gutekunst selected two Texas Longhorns and one Georgia Bulldog.
Could they draft any prospects out of Tulane? Tulane will square off against Ole Miss at 2:30 p.m. today. They have a trio of offensive linemen who could be late Day 3 targets for the Packers in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Derrick Graham, OT
Graham has been around the block. The transfer from Troy has started 41 games at left tackle and nine at right tackle. A weightlifter in high school, Graham is a powerful run blocker and shows no limitations when getting out in space. When he gets rolling, he can steamroll any defender that gets in his way. Thus far this season he's given up zero sacks and 14 pressures.
Shadre Hurst, OL
Hurst has started 31 games at left guard, four at right guard and one at left tackle. Tulane's starting left guard has taken snaps at every position across the offensive line. A former standout wrestler in high school, Hurst is densely built and matches power at the point of attack. He understands angles when he climbs to the second level and usually locks in on his target. For his career, Hurst has given up zero sacks and 24 pressures. With his versatility, power, football smarts and experience, Hurst could be an attractive Day 3 target for the Packers.
Jack Hollifield, C
A transfer from Virginia Tech and Appalachian State, Hollifield has started 24 games at center. Hollifield has impressive movement skills. He played tight end and linebacker in high school, and he looks natural when he's asked to move out in space. He's always looking for work and shows good alertness in pass protection. This season, Hollifield has given up one sack and 16 pressures.
Tulane has a pair of talented defensive ends, Mo Westmoreland and Santana Hopper. Westmoreland may not be on Green Bay 's radar due to his height and length. He's 6-0 and 262 pounds. It will be interesting to see his measurements during the pre-draft process.
Hopper has 9.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. He has a year of eligibility left and it's widely speculated that he could return to Tulane or hit the transfer portal.
