In this story:

Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have several draft picks to make in next month's NFL draft. Despite spending a ton in free agency and addressing needs, they still have plenty of positions they'd like to shore up.

The pre-draft visits, both on Zoom and at Pro Days, are a good way to see where the scouting is and who they might end up drafting. So far, they've met with a few prospects at a couple of positions, showcasing their perceived need.

Here's everyone the Panthers have met with so far in the pre-draft process.

Indiana CB D'Angelo Ponds

A recent mock draft suggested the Panthers put together a package to trade up to 32 in the end of the first round for D'Angelo Ponds. Now, just hours before the draft, the Panthers have met virtually with the Indiana cornerback.

Kansas State C Sam Hecht

Kansas State center Sam Hecht is considered a potential sleeper, and he could be the future center of the Panthers. They held a Zoom meeting with the interior lineman not long before the actual NFL draft.

Wofford DB Maximus Pulley

After a strong 2025 season and a good showing at the NFL Combine, Wofford defensive back Maximus Pulley is rising some draft boards. The Panthers have interest, as they met with him on a top-30 visit earlier this week.

Ohio State TE Max Klare

The Panthers are certainly in the market for a tight end, and they met extensively with Ohio State star Max Klare, a mid-round prospect, at the NLF Combine. He was First-Team All-Big-Ten last season.

Kentucky G Jalen Farmer

Kentucky guard Jalen Farmer had a pretty good NFL Combine, and he's on the Panthers' radar since they need interior help after losing Austin Corbett, Cade Mays, and Brady Christensen. They hosted Farmer on a top-30 visit.

Utah OT Caleb Lomu

Utah tackle Caleb Lomu is a projected first-round pick, and he is a possibility for the Panthers. They hosted him on a top-30 visit as they look at replacing several tackles who don't have long on their existing contracts.

LSU S AJ Haulcy

The Panthers have been linked to LSU safety AJ Haulcy before, and now they're making the connection official. He met with the Panthers on a top-30 visit.

MSU Moorhead QB Jack Strand

The Panthers continue to pound the sidewalk looking for a long-term backup to follow in Kenny Pickett's footsteps. The latest is MSUM QB Jack Strand, who came on a top-30 visit to Charlotte.

Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II

The Panthers spent another top-30 visit on a wide receiver, this time hosting Tennessee wideout Chris Brazzell II. Brazzell finished 2025 with 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns on 62 catches.

UNC CB Thaddeus Dixon

The Panthers have scouted Thaddeus Dixon, meeting with him at the UNC Pro Day. He missed five games due to injury in 2025, but he still finished with 20 tackles, two tackles for a loss, and six pass breakups.

Miami WR CJ Daniels

Another day, another visit with a wide receiver. The Panthers have added CJ Daniels out of Miami to their potential list. They met with him after the Combine, though it's just been reported recently.

Duke EDGE Wesley Williams

The Panthers met virtually with local edge rusher Wesley Williams out of Duke. In 2025, he was an Honorable Mention for All-ACC and had two sacks.

Florida EDGE Tyreak Sapp

The Panthers met with Florida edge rusher Tyreak Sapp. It was not reported as a top-3o visit, but they still met with the edge who finished 2025 with 34 total tackles.

Washington WR Denzel Boston

Weapons, weapons, and more weapons. The Panthers spent another top-30 visit on a pass-catcher, this time hosting Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston, a potential late-first-round draft pick.

Wake Forest CB Karon Prunty

The Panthers have done a ton of scouting in their backyard, and that includes Wake Forest cornerback Karon Prunty. The local CB visited on a local visit, and he was Third-Team All-ACC last season.

South Carolina IDL Nick Barrett

RbThis one's not a top-30 visit, as South Carolina is a local school. Still, the Panthers met with defensive tackle Nick Barrett. He had six tackles for a loss in 2025.

Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy

Despite a brutal knee injury, Jermod McCoy is seen as the best cornerback in the draft. However, as teams do their due diligence, they may pass on him and he could slide to 19, where the Panthers are obviously interested.

Iowa State IDL Domonique Orange

The Panthers have used another top-30 visit, but once again on defense. Building through the trenches is smart, and to that end, Iowa State IDL Domonique Orange came to the facility. He hade an All-Big 12 Third-Team season in 2025.

Auburn EDGE Keyron Crawford

Auburn edge rusher Keldric Faulk is a first-round prospect, but teammate and fellow edge Keyron Crawford is getting a lot of love. The edge with f43 pressures in 2025 has met with the Panthers on a top-30 visit.

NC State TE Justin Joly

The Panthers used another top-30 visit on a tight end. This time, they met with NC State tight end Justin Joly, although this could be reclassified as a local visit. Either way, they're interested in the player who had seven touchdowns last year.

Florida OT Austin Barber

The Panthers are really invested in finding an offensive tackle, likely to be a long-term replacement for Ikem Ekwonu, Rasheed Walker, or possibly Taylor Moton the year after that, so they met with Florida's Austin Barber.

Oklahoma WR Deion Burks

The Panthers met with Deion Burks today. According to his Instagram, the Panthers brought him in for a top-30 visit on Tuesday, April 7, of which they did a few on that day. He ran a 4.30 40-yard dash.

Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor

Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor has risen up draft boards since the Combine, and the Panthers have him on their radar. They're going to host the player who allowed zero sacks in 2025 on a top-30 visit.

Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia

The Panthers are spending a top-30 visit on Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt QB and Heisman finalist. The Panthers are very committed to finding a long-term backup for Bryce Young, and Pavia's the latest option.

New Mexico EDGE Keyshawn James-Newby

The Panthers may want to beef up the edge despite signing Jaelan Phillips and keeping Pat Jones. They have formally met with New Mexico edge rusher Keyshawn James-Newby, who had nine sacks in 2025.

Arizona DB Treydan Stukes

The Panthers are very interested in Arizona defensive back Treydan Stukes. They have hosted a top-30 visit with the DB who made First-Team All-Big 12 and was a Third-Team All-American in 2025.

Missouri IDL Chris McLellan

The Panthers are also interested in Missouri defensive lineman Chris McLellan, who posted on social media that he was being hosted at the facility on a top-30 visit. He had eight tackles for. aloss and six sacks in 2025.

Georgia Tech QB Haynes King

The Panthers wanted to get more mobile at backup QB. There is arguably no better option for that than Georgia Tech QB Haynes King. He ran for almost 1,000 yards and 15 TDs in 2025. He is meeting with the Panthers on a top-30 visit.

Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr.

Some first-round mocks have the Panthers taking Omar Cooper Jr., who is projected as a nice fit in the Carolina offense. They might agree, as they've hosted him on a top-30 visit.

Utah State S Ike Larsen

The Panthers met with Ike Larson at the Utah State Pro Day. He finished 2025 with 56 tackles, three tackles for a loss, and an interception.

Texas Tech QB Behren Morton

Despite signing Kenny Pickett, the Panthers still want to look at a QB in the draft. Pickett's on a one-year deal, so they hosted Behren Morton on a top-30 visit to find out if he's their next long-term backup.

Ole Miss WR De'Zhaun Stribling

The Panthers held a virtual meeting with Ole Miss wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling, hitting on the pass-catcher theme once again. He had 55 catches and six touchdowns in 2025.

Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson

Behren Morton isn't the only QB the Panthers have on their radar. They also met with Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson.

Texas Tech WR Caleb Douglas

The Panthers also met with Texas Tech wide receiver Caleb Douglas. He was Second-Team All-Big 12 after an 846-yard campaign.

Wake Forest IDL Jayden Loving

An All-ACC Honorable Mention, Wake Forest interior defensive lineman Jayden Loving is on the Panthers' radar.

Texas Tech IDL Lee Hunter

The Panthers were busy at the Texas Tech Pro Day. They met with interior defensive lineman Lee Hunter, who finished the 2025 season with 11 tackles for loss, a forced fumble, and three sacks.

Texas A&M G Chase Bisontis

The Panthers need interior offensive line depth, so they are hosting Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis. He measured with 32-inch arms, so some previous length concerns won't be troublesome for the Panthers.

Cincinnati LB Jake Golday

As you'll see below, Dan Morgan is all over the 2026 linebacker class. He's scouting in all rounds, including the middle ones with Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday. He had over 100 tackles and six tackles for a loss last year.

Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez

Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez has skyrocketed up draft boards ever since the Senior Bowl. He's got everyone's attention, including Dan Morgan, who is meeting with a few linebackers ahead of the draft.

Texas A&M IDL Tyler Onyedim

The Panthers met with Texas A&M interior defensive lineman Tyler Onyedim on a top-30 visit. He finished 2025 with 9.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.

Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder

As mentioned, the Panthers and Dan Morgan are keyed in on linebacker prospects. They've met with several, including Michigan linebacker Jimmy Rolder, whom they met with back at the NFL Combine.

Despite signing UDFA Ryan Fitzgerald last year and him making several game-winning kicks, the Panthers met with UConn kicker Chris Freeman at his Pro Day. He made 23/26 field goals in 2025 and didn't miss an extra point.

Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr.

Similar to Rodriguez above, the Panthers sent Dan Morgan to the Texas Pro Day as well, and he met closely with Anthony Hill Jr., who seems to firmly be on the GM's radar.

LSU S AJ Haulcy

Safety is a major position of need in the NFL draft, so the Panthers are going to host LSU safety AJ Haulcy on a top-30 visit. He was first-team All-SEC last year with 88 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble.

Ohio State IDL Kayden McDonald

At the Combine, the Panthers met with Ohio State defensive lineman Kayden McDonald, who has been featured in some mock drafts to the Panthers. He had 65 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and three sacks in 2025.

Western Michigan P Anthony Beacom

After re-signing Sam Martin to a two-year deal, punter is no longer an issue, but the Panthers still met with Western Michigan punter Anthony Beacom at his Pro Day.

Ole Miss TE Dae'Quan Wright

The Panthers are also going to meet with Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright on a top-30 visit. This means tight end is definitely on their draft radar. He was Second-Team All-SEC after a five-TD season.

Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion

Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion was featured in a recent mock draft to Carolina. Now, they're going to visit with him. Because he's a local player (formerly of NC State), this counts as a local visit rather than a top-30 visit.

Temple WR Kajiya Hollowayne

Despite having a full depth chart and then some at wide receiver, the Panthers have met with a few ahead of the draft. At the Temple Pro Day, they met with Kajiyah Hollowayne, a receiver who had six TDs last season.

Washington OT Carver Willis

An award-winning tackle with 10 starts under his nelt in 2025, Carver Willis had a Zoom meeting with the Panthers. The Panthers would like depth/development pieces at tackle, so this is no surprise.

Miami LB Wesley Bissainthe

Despite signing Devin Lloyd, the Panthers have also expressed a desire in potentially adding in the draft. They met with Miami linebacker Wesley Bissainthe. He had 71 tackles, a forced fumble, and an interception in 2025.

Georgia TE Oscar Delp

The Panthers could use some help at tight end, and the draft may be where they find that help. They've met with Georgia tight end Oscar Delp. He finished the Combine with an incredible 9.83 Real Athletic Score. Later, the Panthers hosted him on a top-30 visit.

Oregon WR Malik Benson

The Panthers have been linked to Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq endlessly in the draft. However, ahead of the draft, they've met with a different Oregon prospect: wide receiver Malik Benson. They met with him one-on-one at his Pro Day.

Indiana RB Kaelon Black

The Panthers will host Indiana running back Kaelon Black on a too-30 visit. Given the recent signing of AJ Dillon and the recent draft picks of Jonathon Brooks and Trevor Etienne, this feels like doing due diligence and nothing more.

Missouri LB Khalil Jacobs

The Panthers will meet virtually with Missouri linebacker Khalil Jacobs. He had 47 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, and two pass breakups in 2025. Linebacker depth remains a need for the Panthers.

South Carolina DB Jalon Kilgore

The Panthers met with Jalon Kilgore at the Senior Bowl and will be hosting him on a top-30 visit. South Carolina has been a funnel school for the Panthers lately, so he's someone to keep on the radar for the draft.

Texas CB Malik Muhammad

Similarly, the Panthers met with Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad and plan to host him for a second visit. Not everyone gets multiple visits, so the Panthers must have Muhammad really high on their draft board.

Ball State EDGE Nathan Voorhis

Despite signing Jaelan Phillips, the Panthers are still interested in edge rushers. Dan Morgan has said you can never have too many, so it's no surprise that the Panthers are meeting with Ball State edge Nathan Voorhis. He had 12 sacks last year.

Clemson G Walker Parks

The Panthers may be in the market for some interior depth on the offensive line. They met with towering offensive guard Walker Parks at the Clemson Pro Day. He is coming off a season-ending ankle injury, but he was voted a permanent team captain in 2025.

Syracuse IDL Kevin Jobity Jr.

The Panthers may also be in on some interior depth on the defensive side of the ball. They met with Syracuse IDL Kevin Jobity Jr. at his Pro Day, and he said the Panthers were one of three teams that truly stood out to him. He had five sacks and six tackles for a loss last season.

Memphis OT Travis Burke

Given the fact that the Panthers have one offensive tackle signed beyond 2026, it's prudent that they scout the position. They met with Memphis tackle Travis Burke virtually. He stands 6'9", one of the tallest draft prospects, and has played both left and right tackle during his career. He's primarily played the left side, though.

Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson

The Panthers have drafted a running back in two consecutive drafts, but that isn't stopping them. They virtually met over Zoom with Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson. He had over 1,800 total yards and 15 TDs en route to a First-Team All-Big Ten nod last year.

Kansas IOL Kobe Baynes

More interior depth up front for the Panthers. They met with Kansas interior offensive lineman (so a guard and center hybrid) Kobe Baynes. He allowed zero sacks in pass-protection last year, earning a Second-Team All-Big 12 in 2025.

Some prospects have met with every single team at their Pro Days.
