With the top two kickers drafted, a large number of undrafted free agents signing contracts, and one of the stronger snapping draft classes in Kohl's history, the 2025 NFL Draft fared well for Kohl's athletes.
2025 Draft Recap
- Pick 182 (RD 6) - K Andy Borregales (New England Patriots)

In the 6th round of the NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected Andres Borregales (Miami). A few draft picks later, Tyler Loop (Arizona) was scooped up by the Baltimore Ravens. Both kickers sat at the top of the draft board with the majority of NFL teams heading into the 2024 NF Draft
Loop and Borregales both have a deep history with the Kohl's coaching staff, training from a young age and through their college career. The duo also regularly attended the the Kohl's College Elite Camp as well. Both kickers earned 5-star status in high school during the college recruiting process, competing at a large number of camps prior to starting their collegiate careers.

Kohl's Snapping Athletes Make Their Mark

Luke Elkin (Iowa) signed a deal with the Chicago Bears, while Michigan's William Wagner signed with the Bengals, and Kneeland Hibbett (Alabama) is headed to Miami. Brent Matiscik (TCU), brother of All-Pro Snapper Ross Matiscik, will also sign a UDFA agreement with the Browns.
