6 Titans UDFA Who Have The Best Chance To Make It

Linebacker Shad Banks

Banks started his career at TCU before transferring to UTSA before the 2025 season, producing 94 combined tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and three interceptions. He’s an explosive athlete but an unrefined one who could impact the game on special teams. Tennessee’s 2026 linebacker depth projects to be a tough mountain to climb for Banks, as several former draft picks dot the landscape. However, he could be assisted if starter Cody Barton is traded after just one season in Nashville.

New head coach Robert Saleh likes fast, rangy linebackers, and Banks is certainly that in spades. Can the 2026 Titans UDFA linebacker elevate his game to another level and bump a veteran off the roster bubble? His testing numbers were less than ideal (4.29 RAS) and profiled similarly to former West Virginia linebacker Tony Fields II.

Safety Bishop Fitzgerald

The road for Fitzgerald to make Tennessee’s roster as a 2026 UDFA is less perilous than that of his new teammate, Banks. Tennessee’s safety depth chart is considered to be rocky at best behind starters Kevin Winston, Jr., and Amani Hooker. He transferred to USC from North Carolina State for the 2025 season, continuing to elevate his game. The former Trojan netted immense ball production with 14 passes defended and 10 interceptions throughout his career.

He’s a reliable ballhawking safety who tackles well and is a versatile prospect that can play in various safety roles. Tennessee loved his versatility and production enough to snag him to help supplement their starters. Could he be among the 6 Titans UDFA who could make a run at a roster spot? He ranked 160th on the LWOS big board. The RAS was solid with a score of 6.58. His testing numbers physically resemble those of UCF defensive back Richie Grant.

Cornerback Latrell McCutchin

McCutchin has plenty of miles on his car, after starting his career at Oklahoma, transferring to USC and finally ending up at Houston. The 2025 season was his best statistical season, with 51 tackles, 3 tackles for loss and 10 passes defended. Interestingly, he didn’t possess an interception to his name in college. Houston’s star cornerback turned in an excellent performance at the Combine but went undrafted. He fits the profile of what Coach Saleh wants in his defenders: long, fast, and physical.

Tennessee’s cornerback room features several big-ticket signings like Alontae Taylor and Cordale Flott. Can the talented corner beat out lesser heralded contenders? He certainly has a chance to be among the 6 Titans UDFAs with the best shot at it. The testing numbers (9.50 RAS) indicate that he’s physically similar to Marshon Lattimore. Titans fans will hope he’s as good as Lattimore, the NFL player, in the coming seasons.

Offensive Tackle Rasheed Miller

Miller presents an intriguing prospect for the Titans as they search for offensive tackle depth behind starters Dan Moore, Jr., and J.C. Latham. He transferred to Louisville before the 2024 season after starting his career at Georgia Southern. The former Cardinals standout is an above-average athlete with a 5.28 RAS score and is physically comparable to Vederian Lowe.

Tennessee’s depth ahead of him at left tackle could be a daunting challenge as veterans like Austin Deculus and Ryan Hayes lie in wait. He does possess some versatility, further strengthening his case, as the prospect played guard before moving to tackle in 2025. If he performs well, there’s a chance at the practice squad. He could surprise, but he is the least likely of the 6 Titans UDFA to make it onto the roster.

Wide Receiver Tyren Montgomery

Montgomery saw a rapid rise in his stock during the offseason after starring at the American Bowl before earning a Senior Bowl callup. Ultimately, the John Carroll star receiver (who shares alum ties with assistant GM Dave Ziegler) went undrafted. He has an excellent chance to make the roster and beat out the back-end depth receivers like Mason Kinsey and Xavier Restrepo. He ranked 134th on the LWOS Big Board before the draft.

Montgomery likely has to earn his way onto the roster via special teams and could be an interesting practice squad stash. Can the 2026 Titans UDFA signing beat the odds and make it to the 53-man roster? He tested poorly (6.84 RAS) during the offseason, drawing comparisons to former Virginia Tech receiver Isaiah Ford.

Offensive Tackle Aamil Wagner

Wagner started at right tackle for Notre Dame during his career after entering as a former four-star recruit. He’s an athletic tackle whose game is reliant on length and power. The former Notre Dame lineman is a right-tackle-exclusive player, so his versatility is limited. Given the lack of proven depth behind the inconsistent Latham, he possesses a great chance to make the roster among the 6 Titans UDFA spotlighted in this exercise. He has to beat out an undrafted free agent in the 2025 class, Brendan Crenshaw-Dickson. Wagner ranked 145th on the LWOS Big Board. The Fighting Irish right tackle scored a 7.61 on the RAS scale. Physically, he compares to Carolina Panthers left tackle Ikem Ekwonu.
