Eagles Sign College Star Who Was Denied Playing At The Colligate Level In 2026

According to Ryan Fowler, the Philadelphia Eagles have signed undrafted rookie defensive tackle Zion Wilson. Having spent five years at East Carolina University, Wilson transferred to Virginia earlier this year while seeking an extension of eligibility waiver to play college football in 2026.

As it turns out, that did not work out for him, and he was included in the 2026 NFL Draft. After going un-drafted he became available for signing with any team.

Wilson initially played offensive line for ECU, with his first game action occurring in 2023 at right guard. In 2024, he switched to defensive tackle and logged 13 snaps, as well as playing occasional fullback. He became a full-time starter in 2025, recording 42 total tackles, ten TFLs, seven sacks, and one pass deflection on 454 defensive snaps.

Zion Wilson’s Full College Career

It is possible that Wilson would have become a draftable player had he been able to play for Virginia this upcoming season. As a result, he joins the Eagles facing an uphill battle in order to make the 53-man roster. Here is a look at his complete college stats during his three years at ECU:

• 37 games played
• 42 combined tackles
• 20 solo tackles
• 10.0 tackles for loss
• 7.0 career sacks
• 1 pass deflection

This will certainly be an interesting name to watch for the Eagles’ 53-man roster as he was an unexpected addition.

Former NFL QB Turns Into Sports Agent

One of Range Sports’ former clients has become a colleague. It has been announced that former NFL player Nathan Peterman will continue to work as an agent for the agency’s football division under the representation of NFLPA agent Kyle Strongin. Strongin has been with the company for many years.

A primary focus of Peterman’s role will be talent identification and recruitment, representation of NIL players, pending certification, and NFL player representation. It is expected that he will become a certified NFL agent in the near future. His base of operations will be Jacksonville, and he will report to Strongin.

With more than a decade of experience in both the National Football League and high-level college football, Peterman brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. After being drafted by Buffalo in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, he spent time with the Bills, Raiders, and Bears.

With Range, Peterman will be able to apply his first-hand experience of roster turnover, contract negotiations, and locker room dynamics to provide players with advice from high school through the NFL.

With 15 members spread across Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, and now Jacksonville, Range Football represents more than 60 National Football League and NIL clients, including Brock Purdy, Cam Skattebo, Riley Moss and top BYU quarterback commit Ryder Lyons.
