The 2026 NFL Draft continues today and the other Syracuse player with a chance of being selected this weekend is Dan Villari.
Villari’s college journey has been a lengthy one, starting at Michigan with intentions of being a quarterback at the collegiate level, then moving to upstate New York, where he found a home with the Orange for the next four years.

Villari Draft Position:
Villari has been ranked by The Athletic as the 31st best tight end entering his name into the 2026 NFL Draft and is projected to be a priority free agent for some teams after all the selections are made on Saturday, according to NFL analyst Lance Zierlein.

During that experience, it was noted that Villari actually had the opportunity to sit down and talk with representatives from up to 17 different NFL teams. Some of those teams included…
