Louisiana Tech Bulldogs NFL Draft Prospects

Louisiana Tech went 8-5 in 2025, capping a 13-year run in Conference USA with a winning finish and a 23-14 victory over Coastal Carolina in the Independence Bowl. Sonny Cumbie returns for a fifth season in Ruston, where his record sits at 19-31, as the Bulldogs open a new chapter with a move up to the Sun Belt.

The defining offseason theme is continuity in a time of change. Rather than lean on the transfer portal, Cumbie has built through years of high school recruiting and development, and the Bulldogs bring back a large share of their two-deep even as several primary starters move on. Quarterback Blake Baker, back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season, anchors a roster that must rebuild its backfield and receiving corps while facing a step up in competition.
