The Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms with 17 undrafted free agents, including offensive lineman Wyatt Bowles (Utah State), safety Malik Dixon-Williams (Connecticut), inside linebacker Shaun Dolac (Buffalo), offensive lineman Ben Dooley (Boise State), wide receiver Tru Edwards (Louisiana Tech), offensive lineman Willie Lampkin (North Carolina), outside linebacker Jamil Muhammad (USC), defensive lineman Bill Norton (Texas), outside linebacker Josh Pearcy (Rice), wide receiver Brennan Presley (Oklahoma State), tight end Mark Redman (Louisville), defensive lineman Da’Jon Terry (Oklahoma), tight end Anthony Torres (Toledo), safety Nate Valcarcel (Northern Illinois), running back Jordan Waters (NC State), offensive lineman Trey Wedig (Indiana) and wide receiver Mario Williams (Tulane).
The signings come on the heels of the Rams selecting six players in the 2025 NFL Draft, including Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson.
The 17 undrafted free agents will have a chance to compete for a roster spot this summer. Perhaps the most notable signing is Dolac, who led the FBS with 168 tackles last season en route to MAC Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Ten of the Rams’ 17 undrafted free agent signings are offensive players (four offensive linemen, three wide receivers, two tight ends and one running back), while the other seven will make their contributions on defense (two defensive linemen, two safeties, two edge rushers and one inside linebacker).
The Rams have had plenty of success with undrafted players in recent years and it wouldn’t be surprising if a few of them make the team’s final 53-man roster.
Rams explain strategy in 2025 NFL Draft
After trading out of the first round, the Los Angeles Rams moved up three times to select players they really liked on the final couple days of the 2025 NFL Draft.
The team moved up to take running back Jarquez Hunter, defensive tackle Ty Hamilton and linebacker Chris Paul Jr. L.A. most notably traded a fourth-round pick in next year’s draft to select Hamilton out of Ohio State.
As a result, the Rams added only six players in the 2025 NFL Draft despite originally having eight picks.
Rams general manager general Les Snead explained that the team was so aggressive due to the lack of talent at the end of the draft. “I think it was based on our roster, how the board was going and players that you really were convicted could come in and contribute, whatever the vision for the role was,” Snead said.
“It was starting to get thin so we said, ‘You know what? Instead of waiting and let the draft happen to you, let’s go attack the draft.’ When you do that, you have to give up some picks but we thought that was the more appropriate thing to do as this thing evolved over the course of the each round.”
