Former Seminoles tight end Camren McDonald (Green Bay Packers), defensive tackle Robert Cooper (Seattle Seahawks) and wide receiver Ontaria Wilson (LA Chargers) all signed undrafted free-agent contracts with their respective teams. 

With those four off the table, six players from FSU's 2022 draft class are still available with aspirations of taking their game to the next level. Offensive linemen Dillan Gibbons and Jazston Turnetine, tight end Wyatt Rector, defensive back Jarques McClellion, defensive lineman Leonard Warner III, and wide receiver Mike Roussos are all still waiting to sign with NFL teams.

On Tuesday, Wyatt Rector received a rookie mini-camp invite from the Las Vegas Raiders, according to his agent at Logan Brown Sports.

The Florida native spent three seasons in Tallahassee, initially working with the scout team due to NCAA transfer regulations. He was a significant contributor on special teams ,taking 720 snaps throughout his career with ten tackles and grading out at 74.7 per PFF. He was named Co-Special Teams Player of the Year following the 2022 season, appearing in 35 games at FSU and catching two passes for 13 yards and a touchdown. 

For Rector to make a roster, he will have to show he can make an impact on special teams, a phase of the game that most players usually overlook but where he's excelled.
