Each spring, the Eagles invite college prospects to the NovaCare Complex for a “30 visit” to complete their evaluations and we’re now in the heart of that stage of the draft process.
The most recent additions to the list included two potential first-round picks in cornerback Trey Amos from Ole Miss and defensive tackle T.J. Sanders from South Carolina. Penn State safety Jaylen Reed also paid the team a visit.
The first round of the NFL Draft is Thursday April 24 in Green Bay, Wis. with the ensuing rounds following Friday and Saturday.
In the 2024 draft, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman took Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson — all of whom went on 30 visits with the organization.
Here are the prospects who have visited with the Eagles so far:
Penn State safety Jaylen Reed
The 6-foot, 211-pound safety’s visit was reported by the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Reed has also has had visits with the Giants, Lions, Ravens and Jets. Pro Football Focus does not have Reed ranked on its big board. Reed had three interceptions and seven tackles for loss for the Nittany Lions last season.
South Carolina defensive tackle T.J. Sanders
The 6-4, 297-pound defensive tackle’s visit was reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who also listed the Texans, Cardinals, Falcons, Titans and Packers among the teams visited by Sanders.
PFF ranks Sanders at No. 38 on its big board and No. 6 among the interior defenders in the 2025 class. The PFF scouting report: “Sanders is a true 3-technique who wins with linear and lateral quickness to shoot gaps and disrupt. He must improve his hand precision and play strength to be a full-time starter. At worst, he is a contributing rotational 3-technique.”
Sanders had 8 1/2 sacks and 17 tackles for a loss during his final two seasons with the Gamecocks.
Texas A&M edge rusher Nic Scourton
The Eagles brought Scourton in for a 30 visit, according to Ryan Flower of The Draft Network. Due to the depth of the edge rusher class, Scourton will slip to the late first round or into the second round. He would fill an immediate need for the Eagles and could become an integral part of their future.
Over the last two years, Scourton has been one of college football’s most productive pass rushers, amassing 10 sacks for Purdue in 2023 and five sacks in 2024 for Texas A&M. At 6-foot-3, 257 pounds, he is very physical and strong.
The Eagles have a visit lined up with Amos, the Ole Miss cornerback told NFL Network. After taking two cornerbacks (DeJean and Mitchell) with his first two picks last year, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman could take another CB in the first two rounds this year — and Amos could be one of his top targets. Amos has great size (6-foot-1, 195 pounds), athleticism and ball skills.
Kansas State cornerback Jacob Parrish
Philadelphia has invited Parrish for a 30 visit, per the Liberty Line. If Roseman does not take a cornerback in the first two rounds, he could target Parrish in the third or fourth round, but that would not fix their outside cornerback need.
Parrish, who is 5-foot-10, 191 pounds, projects to be a slot cornerback, so the Eagles could play him in the nickel and move DeJean to the outside.
Texas A&M defensive tackle Shemar Turner
The Eagles could draft multiple defensive linemen in the top 100, including in the third round where they could select Turner, who took a 30 visit with the team, per the Liberty Line. Turner, a 6-foot-3, 290 pound DT, is an explosive athlete with strong hands. In his first year with the Eagles, he would be a rotational player.
Georgia offensive guard Dylan Fairchild
Eagles offensive guard Tyler Steen won’t be handed the job without a fight. So don’t be surprised if the Eagles draft someone like Fairchild in the third round to compete with Steen and Kenyon Green.
Fairchild, who has taken a 30 visit with the Eagles, according to The Draft Network, was a two-year starter for the Bulldogs, and during that time, he developed into a good pass protector. His 6-foot-5, 318-pound frame is the ideal size for a guard.
William & Mary offensive tackle Charles Grant
Not many offensive linemen can move the way Grant does. At 6-foot-4, 300 pounds, his movement skills are reminiscent of an athletic tight end. That could be one of the reasons the Eagles are bringing in Grant for a 30 visit, according to Justin Melo of The Draft Network.
In 2024, Grant graded as the second best offensive tackle in college football, per Pro Football Focus. For small school players to get drafted in the first three rounds, they have to dominate their competition — and that’s what Grant did. He’s now expected to be taken in the second or third round.
