Fresno State Bulldogs NFL Draft Prospects

Fresno State went 9-4 in 2025, finished 5-3 in the Mountain West and closed the year by throttling Miami (Ohio) 18-3 in the Arizona Bowl. The Bulldogs now carry that momentum into a rebuilt Pac-12, where they are widely projected to open around third in the league.

The defining story is continuity at the top paired with change at the controls. Matt Entz, an FCS national championship winner with a 69-15 record over six seasons before he arrived, enters year two after a 9-4 debut. He leaned on his old Missouri Valley roots to shape the attack, hiring coordinator Josh Davis out of South Dakota, where his 2024 offense churned out 215.9 rushing yards and 436.9 total yards a game. Defensive coordinator Nick Benedetto was retained after a standout first season, a significant win for a team switching leagues.
