Arizona Safety Treydan Stukes Selected By Raiders In NFL Draft

Treydan Stukes’ story is what makes college football great. 

Now that story gets to continue in the pros after the Raiders selected him with the 38th pick in the NFL draft.

He was a versatile player at Millennium High School and had to navigate a tough recruitment due to COVID. He ended up walking on to Arizona. After a year, he was put on scholarship and a standout in the Jedd Fisch era.

He quickly rose up the ranks to be named a captain and one of the most consistent players in a wildly talented defensive backfield over the course of his Arizona career. 

Early in 2024, however, he suffered a season-ending knee injury. What hurt him and the team that year helped both down the road. He opted to return to the Wildcats for a final season after a medical redshirt was granted and helped right the ship in Tucson this past season. 

His four interceptions in 2025 were tied for second in the Big 12. In six seasons in Tucson, he tallied 207 tackles, seven interceptions and 26 passes defended.

He saw his stock rise as the draft approached and is now a Raider.
