Florida State QB DJ Uiagalelei Declares for 2025 NFL Draft

Once a top recruit, Uiagalelei's college career spanned three schools and ended with mixed results, leaving his NFL prospects uncertain.

DJ Uiagalelei announced his decision to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft via a social media post on Monday, reflecting on his challenging college journey.
The quarterback played for Clemson, Oregon State, and Florida State during his five-year collegiate career, with his best season in 2023 at Oregon State.
Uiagalelei's 2024 season with Florida State was marred by struggles and a season-ending finger injury, limiting him to five games with four touchdowns and six interceptions.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and 252 pounds, Uiagalelei's size and arm strength are seen as assets, but concerns remain about his decision-making and mechanics at the next level.
Draft analysts currently project Uiagalelei as a late-Day 3 pick or an undrafted free agent, with baseball as a potential fallback option after being drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023.
