South Florida Bulls NFL Draft Prospects

South Florida finished 9-4 (6-2 American) in 2025, standing among the league's best teams for much of the fall before a Cure Bowl loss to Old Dominion (10-24) closed the year. The defining story is wholesale turnover on the sideline and the roster. Alex Golesh left for Auburn and took dual-threat quarterback Byrum Brown with him, and USF replaced him with first-time head coach Brian Hartline, the former Ohio State wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator known for developing NFL pass catchers.

Hartline arrives with a transfer haul rated the best in the Group of Six, roughly 41 additions, plus new coordinators Tim Beck on offense and Josh Aldridge on defense. Only four starters return, so the gap between conference contention and a step backward is thin.
