Minnesota has seen consistent success in the draft, with a first or second-round pick in each of the last five drafts (2020-24). The last time the program achieved this feat was from 1941 to 1945. Minnesota is one of only 13 schools in the country to have a first or second-round pick in each of the last five drafts, joining Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, and USC.
In addition, Minnesota has had at least one draft pick in each of the past six drafts (2019-24), marking the first time since 2003-08 that the program has achieved such consistency.
The players who participated in Pro Day were Max Brosmer, Quinn Carroll, Tyler Cooper, Mark Crawford, Aireontae Ersery, Jack Henderson, Daniel Jackson, Jah Joyner, Cody Lindenberg, Nick Kallerup, Dragan Kesich, Marcus Major, Jaren Mangham, Ethan Robinson, Elijah Spencer, Danny Striggow, and Justin Walley.
