The Washington Commanders have selected Trey Amos with the No. 61 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Amos (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) is a First Team All-SEC cornerback who led his team with 13 pass breakups. A five-year player who suited up for three squads, Amos recorded 122 tackles and three interceptions.
"Long press cornerback who proved he could make the jump from the Sun Belt to the SEC without a hitch," wrote NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. "Amos can disrupt the release and plays with good short-area movement in man coverage."
The Commanders needed to provide depth at cornerback aside from Marshon Lattimore and 2024 draft pick Mike Sainristil. Amos can fill that role on the outside, as he has quick feet and can play in press coverage. Amos stood out in the draft prospect with a solid combine performance, recording a 4.43 40-yard dash, 32.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-6 broad jump.
A multi-sport athlete and tack and field state champion out of Catholic-New Iberia, Amos was the No. 63 player in Louisiana. He played three seasons at Louisiana-Lafayette, recording 49 tackles and 13 pass breakups for the Ragin' Cajuns, and spent a season at Alabama before transferring to Ole Miss, where he hit career-highs in several categories.
Amos was a standout at Ole Miss, ranking fifth on the team with 50 tackles. He also excelled at preventing explosive passes, as he allowed a sub-19 percent completion rate on throws with at least 20 air yards, according to Pro Football Focus. In 2024, Amos had a 51% allowed completion rate with a 54.5 passer rating allowed.
