No HBCU players taken in the ‘24 NFL Draft

Isaiah Major signed with the Saints as a UDFA - at 6'1 230, he's rangy and agile, and lined up mainly at the Sam linebacker position. He saw some snaps at safety and even nickel back. He's described as deeply knowledgeable, rarely out of position, and a sure tackler. He was the 2023 SWAC defensive player of the year and was a finalist for the FCS defensive player of the year award. Do I feel he deserved to be drafted? Sure, but I watched all seven rounds go by and a reasonably highly-rated LB from a P5 school (Curtis Jacobs, Penn State) didn't get drafted, and his tape and reports read similarly. This could just have been a year where the strongest recruits were in loaded positions - or deprioritized ones.
He signed a deal to try out for three days at rookie mini-camp. That's it.
