Weber State Pro Day Draws NFL Scouts as Five Wildcats Display Their Talents

Five Weber State seniors took the field at Stewart Stadium on March 20 to run through testing and position drills in front of NFL scouts, giving the Wildcats their clearest shot yet at professional football.

Kicker/punter Sloan Calder, offensive lineman Gavin Ortega, and receiver Jayleen Record headlined the workout alongside Colter May and Angel King, according to Weber State Athletic Communications. The five performed a full battery of testing and positional work as scouts evaluated their NFL prospects firsthand on the Ogden campus.

Weber State's pro day gave all five players a home-field platform to make their case, a setting that allows prospects to perform in familiar surroundings rather than at a neutral combine site. For a program operating at the FCS level, pro days carry particular weight: they serve as the primary window through which NFL evaluators watch Wildcat talent up close, without the noise of a larger combine environment.

Calder's dual role as kicker and punter makes him a versatile special-teams option for any team seeking depth at both spots. Ortega's presence on the offensive line reflects the program's continued ability to develop interior prospects capable of drawing professional interest. Record, as a receiver, would have faced the standard battery of route-running and hands drills that wideouts encounter at every pro day setting.

No specific drill results, measurable testing figures, or quotes from the participants or coaching staff were made available in the official release authored by Paul Grua of Weber State Athletic Communications. The identities of the NFL organizations represented by the scouts in attendance were also not disclosed.

Weber State has used its annual pro day as a consistent pipeline moment for a program that has produced NFL talent despite competing at the FCS level. With the 2026 draft cycle now underway, all five Wildcats will wait to learn whether Thursday's workout translated into draft consideration or a free-agent opportunity.
