Chargers Announce 18 UDFA Signings
After adding nine players throughout this weekend’s draft, the Chargers still had plenty of room for rookie additions. Los Angeles announced their 18-man undrafted free agent signing class shortly after the event closed, disclosing these players as signees:
- TeRah Edwards, DT (Illinois)
- Josh Fuga, DT (Virginia Tech)
- Luke Grimm, WR (Kansas)
- Kylan Guidry, OLB (Western Kentucky)
- Nash Jones, G (Texas State)
- Jaylen Jones, S (Virginia Tech)
- Josh Kaltenberger, C (Maryland)
- Stevo Klotz, TE (Iowa State)
- Jordan Oladokun, CB (Bowling Green State)
- Myles Purchase, CB (Iowa State)
- Garmon Randolph, OLB (Baylor)
- Nikko Reed, CB (Oregon)
- Eric Rogers, CB (Rutgers)
- Raheim Sanders, RB (South Carolina)
- Corey Stewart, T (Purdue)
- DJ Uiagalelei, QB (Florida State)
- Savion Washington, T (Syracuse)
- Marlowe Wax, LB (Syracuse)
After slightly favoring offense (five players to four on defense) during the draft, Los Angeles evens things out by favoring the defense (10:8) in the undrafted class, giving them 13 offensive rookies and 14 defensive rookies in 2025.
Once heralded as the quarterback of the future set to take over the Clemson program after Trevor Lawrence, Uiagalelei ends up in Los Angeles after stops with Oregon State and the Seminoles. Sanders was expected to be a late-Day 3 selection. Sanders rushed for 1,443 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022 for Arkansas before injuries limited him in 2023. He transferred to South Carolina and tallied 881 yards and 11 scores on the ground, adding 316 yards and 2 touchdowns through the air.
The team loaded up on flyers in the secondary this year. After drafting safeties with each of their last two picks, the Chargers added one more in free agency and signed four undrafted cornerbacks. Reed is maybe the most capable of the group. One of Deion Sanders‘ cast-outs at Colorado, Reed transferred to Oregon for two strong years, collecting 26 passes defensed and five interceptions in his four years of college. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, Reed’s UDFA contract includes $100K of base salary guaranteed plus a $15K signing bonus.
