Nuer Gatkuoth has several football paths ahead of him.
The most prestigious path would be to play in the NFL. The Wake Forest edge defender has accepted an invite to attend Denver Broncos rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, hoping to impress enough to win a spot on the 90-man offseason roster.
If the 23-year-old pass rusher doesn't receive a roster offer from the Broncos, he could return to his home country to continue his football career. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League selected Gatkuoth with the fourth overall pick in the first round of the CFL draft on Tuesday evening.
Gatkuoth (6-3, 237 pounds) was born in Edmonton, and he played high school football in Alberta and Toronto before moving to Atlanta. At the college level, he spent three years at Colorado State before transferring to Wake Forest in 2025. Gatkuoth totaled 21 tackles, two sacks, one interception and one pass breakup with the Demon Deacons last fall.
