He’s the second XFL player to receive an invite.
The Miami Dolphins added four players to the roster in the 2023 NFL draft, and the team also added over 20 undrafted free agents as well.
With the three-day event in the rearview, Miami has shifted their attention to their rookie minicamp, which will take place May 12-14, as the NFL announced last week.
Rookies, both drafted and undrafted, will have an opportunity to start working on the practice field with their new coaches, but they’re not the only ones.
Teams are also permitted to invite players on a try-out basis, and while they can be rookies, they don’t have to be.
Harvard running back Aidan Borguet, Wyoming offensive lineman Eric Abojei, Duke cornerback Datrone Young, Marshall quarterback Henry Colombi and St. Louis Battlehawk (XFL) defensive end Freedom Akinmoladun are among the names that have received invites.
A second XFL player has received one as well, as the league announced that Houston Roughnecks guard Jack Snyder has been invited to both the Dolphins’ and Ravens’ minicamps.
Snyder was the first overall in the offensive line portion of the 2022 XFL draft after a collegiate career at San Jose State and a brief stint with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent.
During his time with the Spartans, he set a school record for most starts, with a majority coming at left tackle. He earned First-Team All-Mountain West honors in 2020 and Second-Team honors in 2021.
Snyder has experience playing guard and tackle, so there’s a chance that his versatility earns him a contract after a few days of work with the coaches, especially considering Miami’s weakness and injury history at the positions.
