NY Giants undrafted free agent tracker: Full list of every UDFA signed
After a memorable 2024 NFL Draft for the NY Giants, all eyes are on who Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll will target as undrafted free agents. Everyone loves an underdog story and while UDFAs have a mountain to climb to make a 53-man roster, it's not impossible.
Matter of fact, we've seen some incredible talents over the years not hear their names called in the draft, only to go on to have standout careers. With that said, will any members of the '24 class be able to add their name to the list? In this piece, we have our UDFA tracker for you, updating names as they come into East Rutherford.
Tracking the undrafted free agents signed by Joe Schoen and the NY Giants
West Florida WR John Jiles
The first UDFA move is in, with the G-Men agreeing to terms with West Florida wideout John Jiles, per Matt Lombardo of Heavy Sports. Checking in at 6-3, 205 pounds, Jiles has ideal size for an outside WR. He spent two years at Fort Scott CC before transferring to Virginia Union. He didn't appear in a game there, but spent the 2023 season with West Florida. He posted 1,255 yards and 16 TDs last campaign.
North Dakota State offensive guard Jake Kubas
An interior offensive lineman! Giants fans were hoping a guard would be selected during Day 3 of the NFL Draft, but Schoen had other ideas. Now, though, the team has brought in 6-4, 310-pound North Dakota State guard Jake Kubas in on an UDFA deal. He was an FCS Third-Team All-American per the Associated Press.
UCLA safety Alex Johnson
After bringing in cornerback Andru Phillips and safety Tyler Nubin on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, Schoen has wasted no time in the UDFA market to add more secondary competition. Per James H. Williams of The OC-Register, the G-Men have agreed to a deal with UCLA safety Alex Johnson. A 6-1, 190-pounder, Johnson made eight starts for UCLA in 2023 and posted five interceptions.
Missouri offensive tacke Marcellus Johnson
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, another UDFA move has been made, with the Giants set to bring in Missouri tackle Marcellus Johnson. Johnson is a 6-4, 310-pounder who appeared in 10 games for Mizzou last fall.
Wyoming WR Ayir Asante
Following the move for Jiles, Schoen and Co. also managed to land Wyoming wideout Ayir Asante. Asante transferred to Wyoming in 2023 after previously suiting up for Holy Cross. Last season, the New Jersey native caught 21 passes for 372 yards and six touchdowns. Bobby Skinner of Talkin' Giants first reported the move.
Oregon DT Casey Rogers
Were you waiting for a defensive lineman? Wait no more, as James Crespa of The Oregonian has reported that Oregon defensive tackle Casey Rogers will be East Rutherford-bound. Rogers has some great size to him, as he's a 6-5, 305-pounder. In '23 for Oregon, the DT played in all 14 games, finishing with 22 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
LSU EDGE Ovie Oghoufo
Potentially some more depth behind Kayon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari? That could be the case in the form of LSU EDGE Ovie Oghoufo. Oghoufo began his career at Notre Dame before transferring to Texas. Ultimately, he'd close out his college career with LSU in 2023, posting 34 total tackles, 2.5 sacks and one fumble recovery.
