After seven Huskies got drafted and two more signed UDFA deals, two more members of Washington's roster earned rookie minicamp invitations.

After the Washington Huskies saw seven players hear their names called during the 2026 NFL draft, and two more earn undrafted free agent contracts, two more members of Jedd Fisch's 2025 roster earned invitations to rookie minicamps. Kicker Grady Gross will go through a camp with the Kansas City Chiefs after four years on Montlake. After acting as a kickoff specialist in 2022, he converted 46-of-61 field goal attempts (75.

4 percent) and was perfect on extra point attempts, going 152-for-152 over the next three seasons. Gross' best statistical season came during Washington's march to the national championship in 2023, where he went 18-for-22 on field goal attempts and led the Pac-12 with 117 points. Be a Pro.

When meeting with the media last spring, Horton expressed great confidence in his talent after sitting behind Michael Pratt, who was selected in the seventh round of the 2024 draft, and will now get his opportunity to impress NFL coaches.
