Seahawks 2024 NFL Draft Top 30 Visit Tracker
With the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in the rearview mirror and free agency underway, the Seattle Seahawks and all 32 NFL teams are in the midst of scheduling and conducting their pre-draft top-30 visits.
In this process, each NFL team can bring in up to 30 players to their respective facilities for interviews and meetings with coaches as well as medical examinations and physicals. While these on-site meetings are only part of the evaluation process leading up to the three-day event, they can play a critical role in determining where each player ends up on draft weekend and could be especially important for the Seahawks with a new coach in Mike Macdonald taking over for Pete Carroll.
In the past, Seattle has drafted several prospects who traveled to the VMAC for top-30 visits, including cornerback Devon Witherspoon, guard Anthony Bradford, and safety Jerrick Reed II last season and edge rusher Boye Mafe in 2022. The team also met with Frank Clark back in 2015 before picking him in the second round as just another example of the team valuing these visits.
Keeping that in mind, here's a look at the players who reportedly have already met with the Seahawks or are scheduled to workout on top-30 visits before the 2024 NFL Draft:
Tyrice Knight, LB, UTEP
2022 Stats: 140 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 15.5 tackles for loss
Offering immense versatility with extensive snaps at off-ball linebacker and outside linebacker, the 240-pound Knight has been one of the fastest rising prospects at any position in recent months. Lost in the shuffle at UTEP, he averaged 112 tackles per season in his final three years on campus while adding 8.5 sacks, two interceptions, and 14 pass breakups, posting gaudy statistics for a struggling program. A late addition to the Senior Bowl roster, he made a positive impression against top competition in Mobile and then tested well in Indianapolis, including running a 4.63 40-yard dash and producing 21 bench press reps. While his position remains to be seen at the next level, per Justin Melo of Draft Network, the Seahawks will take a closer look at him as a potential day three target with upside to play on defense on Sundays.
