Tracking All of the Vikings' Prospect Visits Ahead of 2026 NFL Draft

With the combine and the first waves of free agency in the rearview mirror, the Vikings have shifted their focus towards April's draft. With a little over a month left until the draft begins, every NFL team is lining up its annual 'Top 30' visits with prospective picks, as well as meeting with prospects at their pro days, conducting virtual visits, and more.

The Top 30 visits are pre-draft meetings where teams are allowed to invite 30 draft-eligible players to their facility for interviews and medical evaluations, in an effort to garner deeper insight into potential picks. Below is a live tracker that we will be updating as info comes out on who the Vikings will be hosting for Top 30 visits, as well as who they are meeting at pro days.

Emmett Johnson, RB, Nebraska

The Minnesota native will reportedly have a pre-draft meeting with the Vikings in April. He previously had a formal meeting with the organization at the Combine. He is a projected late-Day 2 to early-Day 3 pick, and a popular mid-round pick for the Vikings in many mock drafts. Johnson led the Big Ten with 1,451 rushings yards on 251 carries in 2025. He rushed for 12 touchdowns while also catching 46 passes for 370 yards and three touchdowns.

Kris Trinidad, EDGE, Old Dominion

The Vikings reportedly met with Old Dominion edge rusher Kris Trinidad. Listed at 6-foot-5, 272-pounds, Trinidad is likely a late-Day 3 project pick or UDFA signing. In four years at Old Dominion, Trinidad tallied 15 sacks, 136 combined tackles, including 24.5 for a loss. His 79.0 PFF defensive grade was eighth-best among edge rushers in the Sun Belt in 2025. He was a two-time All-Sun Belt Third Team selection.

Scooby Williams, LB, Texas A&M

Minnesota have reportedly held several meetings with linebacker Scooby Williams. The Texas A&M linebacker is projected as a potential UDFA pickup, which the Vikings have had success at over the years. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein rates Williams' instincts and play speed as "average" but notes that the 6-foot-2 linebacker is "usually in position to compete as a run defender."

Jeff Caldwell, WR, Cincinnati

The Vikings reportedly had their receivers coach in attendance at Cincinnati's Pro Day in order to watch Jeff Caldwell. The Bearcats receiver ran a 4.31 40-yard dash at the combine. He is currently projected as a Day 3 pick. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein says that Caldwell is a "developmental prospect with enticing traits and a need for better fundamentals."

Lincoln Pare, RB, Texas State

The Vikings are reportedly interested in running back Lincoln Pare. The Texas State back is likely a late-Day 3 pick or UDFA pickup. He rushed for 1,128 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Bobcats in 2025, while also catching 37 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns.

Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State

The Vikings reportedly have a top-30 visit scheduled with wide receiver Ted Hurst. The 6-foot-4 Georgia State product is likely a Day 2 selection, with NFL Network's Lance Zierlein saying Hurst is a "long-legged, vertical-minded wideout with the speed and ability to stress corners from snap to whistle." At the combine, Hurst ran a 4.42 40-yard dash. In two seasons at Georgia State, he caught 127 passes for 1,965 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington

The Vikings have a top-30 visit scheduled with running back Jonah Coleman. In 2025, Coleman rushed for 758 yards and 15 touchdowns while catching 31 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns for the Huskies. His stock has risen over the past couple weeks, generally seen as a Day 2 pick, he has appeared in the later portions of the first round in a handful of recent mocks. He is the fifth-ranked running back on Mel Kiper's big board.

Jack Dingle, LB, Cincinnati

The Vikings reportedly had a private meeting with linebacker Jack Dingle. The linebacker spent his entire collegiate career at Cincinnati where he recorded 164 combined tackles, including 9.5 for a loss, and four sacks. According to PFF, Dingle recorded 18 total pressures in 2025. He is likely another late-Day 3 or UDFA option.

Andrew Simpson, LB, North Carolina

The Vikings were among a handful of teams that chatted with North Carolina linebacker Andrew Simpson at his Pro Day. Simpson is a 6-foot, 238-pound linebacker who played one year for the TarHeels after starring for Boise State for three seasons. He tallied 203 total tackles, including 41 for a loss, and 17.5 sacks during his collegiate career. He was an All-ACC Honorable Mention in 2025. Simpson could be a potential late-Day 3 or UDFA pickup.

Truman Werremeyer, FB, North Dakota State

In need of a fullback after C.J. Ham's retirement, the Vikings have reportedly talked to North Dakota State fullback Truman Werremeyer at the Bison Pro Day. The Fargo native earned 2025 All-MVFC First Team honors. The fifth-year senior helped clear the way for the nation's seventh-best rushing offense in the FCS. Werremeyer is not among the top 10 fullbacks in Mel Kiper's big board, he is likely a UDFA option.

Division II and Division III prospects

Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State

The Vikings had a formal meeting with one of the top defensive tackles in this draft. In an interview with SI, Ohio State's Kayden McDonald said the Vikings were among the many teams that hosted him for an official meeeting at the Combine. The 6-foot-2, 326-pound defensive lineman is expected to be one of the top three defensive tackles off the board next month. ESPN's Mel Kiper has McDonald as his No. 2 DT on his big board. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein says the Ohio State DT is "quick to locate ball-carriers, play off of blocks and rally to the action."

Treydan Stukes, CB, Arizona

Stukes ran a blistering 4.33 40-yard dash at the Combine. In an interview with SI, he said he had around 14 official meetings at the Combine, including one with the Vikings. He's projected as a late-Day 2 to early-Day 3 pick in the draft. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein says Stukes is a corner who "communicates well from zone and works quickly from route to route." The sixth-year senior "possesses an excellent feel for disrupting catch-points at optimal angles despite a lack of ideal length," adds Zierlein. The 6-foot-1 corner grabbed seven interceptions in his collegiate career, including four in 2025.

Jacob Gill, WR, Iowa

The Vikings were in attendance at Iowa's Pro Day, and among the players they were seemingly interested in was wide receiver Jacob Gill. In five college seasons, split between Northwestern and Iowa, Gill caught 75 passes for 884 yards and five touchdowns. He's potentially a late-Day 3 pick or more likely a UDFA candidate.

Charles Demmings, CB, Stephen F. Austin

Vikings defensive back coaches ran drills at Stephen F. Austin's Pro Day and met with Lumberjacks cornerback Charles Demmings. The 6-foot-1 corner ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the Combine. He is a projected Day 3 pick. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein says Demming's "ball skills and man-cover consistency" could land him on an NFL roster as a potential CB4 or on special teams as a gunner.

Zxavian Harris (DT) and Jayden Williams (OL) Ole Miss

The Vikings meet with Ole Miss defensive tackle Zxavian Harris ahead of his Pro Day. Harris wasn't able to workout due to recent foot surgery. The monster defensive tackle, measuring in at an eye-popping 6-foot-8, is projected as an early-Day 3 pick. He tallied three sacks in 2025 while registering a 62.3 PFF pass rush grade. Over his final two seasons in college, Harris graded as a better run defender than pass rusher, earning 72.7 and 77.5 rush defense grades in 2024 and 2025, respectively. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein says Harris is a "disruptive, alignment-versatile interior defender with mismatch traits and untapped potential."

Minnesota also has a workout planned for Ole Miss offensive tackle Jayden Williams. Projected as a UDFA target, Williams is likely a swing tackle development project for teams. He allowed 17 total pressures on 586 pass block snaps in 2025. His 78.5 PFF pass block grade was the 33rd-highest pass block grade in the nation, and eighth-best in the SEC, in 2025.

Jacobian Guillory II, DT, LSU

The Vikings had dinner with LSU defensive tackle Jacobian Guillory II ahead of his Pro Day. Guillory finished his six-year collegiate career with 72 combined tackles and two sacks. According to PFF's grading system, he generally graded out as a better rush defender than pass rusher during his collegiate career. Guillory lost nearly the entirety of his 2024 season after suffering an Achilles injury. He's likely to be a late-Day 3 or UDFA pickup.

Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas

Minnesota will host Hill for a Top 30 visit. The Texas linebacker is the No. 3 off-ball linebacker on Mel Kiper's big board heading into the draft. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein describes Hill as a "three-down linebacker with the playing demeanor and production of a future Pro Bowler," even listing his NFL comp as six-time First-Team All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner.

Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia

Delp is the second tight end on Mel Kiper's big board, behind only Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq. The Vikings are hosting Delp for a Top 30 visit. The 6-foot-5 tight end ran a 4.44 40-yard dash at his pro day. In four seasons at Georgia, Delp caught 70 passes for 854 yards and 9 touchdowns.

Raja Nelson, WR, North Dakota State

Minnesota reportedly met with Nelson at NDSU's pro day. Listed at 5-foot-9 and 196-pounds, Nelson caught 118 career passes for 1,289 yards and 10 touchdowns in six seasons for the Bison. The Lakeville native is seen as a slot receiver who has been described as a "Swiss Army knife" due to his versatility.

Khalil Jacobs, LB, Missouri

Emmanuel Pregnon and Alex Harkey, OL, Oregon

Vikings offensive line coaches reportedly met with the one of the top guards in the draft. Pregnon is currently the third guard on Kiper's big board. Minnesota doesn't currently need first-round help at guard after drafting Donovan Jackson in the first round and signing Will Fries to a big-money deal last year. Pregnon is considered a late-first round prospect by draft experts.

During Oregon's pro day, the Vikings also reportedly worked out tackle Alex Harkey. The 6-foot-6 tackle is considered a Day 3 prospect, who teams see as a versatile backup along the line.

Rahsul Faison, RB, South Carolina

Minnesota ran position drills, then allegedly took the late-round running back out to lunch following his pro day. Faison played one year at South Carolina after transferring over from Utah State. During his collegiate career, Faison ran for 2,315 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per attempt and running for 16 touchdowns. He was also a receiving option out of the backfield, catching 52 career passes for 269 yards. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein calls Faison an "instinctive runner with the size, vision and wiggle to create yards from broken tackles."

Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina

The Vikings were one of a number of teams to meet with the South Carolina safety at his pro day. During his first two seasons in college, Kilgore played primarily safety, tallying 124 combined tackles, including 4.5 for a loss, and six interceptions, including leading the SEC with five in 2024. Out of necessity, he moved to corner in 2025, where he registered 10 passes defended. Kilgore has moved up in mock drafts recently, being spotted as an early-second round and even late-first round prospect.

Lance Mason, TE, Wisconsin

Mason played one year at Wisconsin, catching 30 passes for 398 yards and four touchdowns for the Badgers. He was voted to the All-Big Ten second team in 2025. Before joining the Badgers, Mason starred for Missouri State, where over three seasons he caught 56 passes for 800 yards and 8 touchdowns. According to Mock Draft Database, Mason is currently tracking as Day 3 pick or a undrafted free agent pickup.

Demond Claiborne, RB, Wake Forest

Claiborne rushed for 2,599 yards and 26 touchdowns over four seasons at Wake Forest. He also proved a competent option in the passing game, catching 55 passes for 424 yards and 2 touchdowns during his collegiate career. While he didn't return kicks for the Demon Deacons in 2025, he registered two kick returns for touchdowns while returning kicks in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. NFL Network's Lance Zierlein notes in his draft profile of Claiborne that he's a "twitched-up, elusive slasher who can turn minimal gains into explosive runs."

In an interview with media personality Kay Adams, Claiborne said he has an official top-30 visit set for April 9.
