But this is Baltimore we\u2019re talking about. No team in the league treats the undrafted free agent process more seriously, and no team finds more hidden gems from it year after year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The Ravens\u2019 history with UDFAs is as good as it gets. From Priest Holmes to Gus Edwards to Patrick Ricard to their Defensive Coordinator himself, Zach Orr, the team has built a reputation for spotting overlooked talent and turning it into real production. It\u2019s a big reason why their roster remains one of the deepest in the league year after year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">With a few depth needs still lingering\u2014especially at defensive line\u2014the Ravens wasted no time hitting the phones to secure their first wave of undrafted rookies after the draft.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Ravens running list of UDFA signings after 2025 NFL Draft<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Here&#8217;s a list of the undrafted free agents Baltimore signed this year:<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<ul id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"!list-disc ml-5 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">\n<li>Jayson Jones (DL, Auburn)<\/li>\n<li>Desmond Igbinosun (DB, Rutgers)<\/li>\n<li>Jay Higgins (LB, Iowa)<\/li>\n<li>Jahmal Banks (WR, Nebraska)<\/li>\n<li>Reid Holskey (OT, Miami (Ohio))<\/li>\n<li>Sone Ntoh (RB, Monmouth)<\/li>\n<li>Chandler Martin (LB, Memphis)<\/li>\n<li>Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan (OL, Oregon State)<\/li>\n<li>Ozzie Hutchinson (OL, Albany)<\/li>\n<li>Sam Pitz (TE, Minnesota-Duluth)<\/li>\n<li>Keondre Jackson (DB, Illinois State)<\/li>\n<li>Xavier Guillory (WR, Arizona State)<\/li>\n<li>Jared Penning (OL, Northern Iowa)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">One of the more notable names on the list is Iowa&#8217;s Jay Higgins. He&#8217;s coming off an impressive 2024 season, headlined by four interceptions. His efforts earned him All-American honors. With 295 tackles and nine passes defensed over the past two years, he has legitimate run and pass defensive traits. He is undersized, but if there is a weak-ish roster spot, it&#8217;d probably be at the linebacker position.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Another name to keep an eye on is Desmond Igbinosun out of Rutgers. He\u2019s a big-bodied defensive back (6-foot-2, 213 pounds) who started eight games last season and racked up 53 tackles. He\u2019s not a flashy player, but he\u2019s dependable, experienced, and comes from a football family\u2014his younger brother is a standout corner at Ohio State. Baltimore loves smart, physical DBs who can help on special teams and Igbinosun could sneak onto the roster that way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_6\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Then there\u2019s Sone Ntoh from Monmouth. If you\u2019re looking for production, it\u2019s hard to top a guy who led the entire FCS with 25 rushing touchdowns last year. At 5-foot-11 and 235 pounds, he\u2019s a downhill runner who isn\u2019t afraid of contact. He\u2019s raw, but the Ravens have a history of turning power backs into legitimate contributors. With Derrick Henry on a short-term deal, you never know\u2014Ntoh could find his way into a bigger role down the line.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Jared Penning is another name to keep an eye out for as his older brother is a former first-round pick for the Saints (Trevor). Penning has played inside and out, mirroring former Raven turned Jaguar, Patrick Mekari.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_7\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The Ravens aren&#8217;t done retooling and uncovering hidden gems. We will continue to update the Ravens&#8217; UDFA signings as they break.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cincinnati Bengals v Baltimore Ravens | Patrick Smith\/GettyImages The 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and somehow, the Baltimore Ravens still aren\u2019t finished.\u00a0Baltimore made 11&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44622,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
