- Steelers Host Blazing-Fast Cornerback for Pre-Draft Visit
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Arizona cornerback Treydan Stukes for a pre-draft visit on Wednesday. Stukes was named third-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-Big 12 Conference last year. He tied for the team lead with four interceptions. Overall, he started 10 games, recording 52 tackles, one sack and six pass breakups.
Stukes, who stands at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, recorded a 4.33 in the 40-yard dash and a 1.5 in the 10-yard split at the NFL Combine. He also posted a 38″ vertical jump and and 10′ 10″ vertical jump.
He scored a 9.95 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 15 out of 2822 CB from 1987 to 2026.
Stukes is projected to be a mid-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft .
“Sixth-year senior and team captain who went from walk-on to unquestioned leader of his defense. Stukes combines his infectious passion with hours of preparation that allow him to play fast,” Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote . “He communicates well from zone and works quickly from route to route. He has work to do in man coverage but possesses an excellent feel for disrupting catch-points at optimal angles despite a lack of ideal length. Stukes is an older prospect and has an ACL tear in his background (2024), but the football has a magnetic pull for him. Coaches will love his football character and versatility as a big nickelback or split safety.”
In addition to Stukes, the Steelers also hosted Penn State quarterback Drew Allar for a pre-draft visit on Wednesday.
The Steelers have hosted 33 players for pre-draft visits , including three local visits which don’t count against the 30 allowed pre-draft visitors. Stokes and Allar are the final visits for the Steelers.
