The Eagles drafted safety Cole Wisniewski with the No. 244 overall pick.

The safety from Texas Tech started 14 games for the Red Raiders last year and had 78 tackles.

Wisniewski spent five years at North Dakota State, including his standout 2023 season where he was a consensus All-American in the FCS and had eight interceptions. He missed all of the 2024 season with a foot injury before transferring to Texas Tech.

The 6-foot-3, 219-pound Wisniewski joins a safety room with Andrew Mukuba, Marcus Epps, and Andre' Sam, along with defensive backs J.T. Gray and Michael Carter II.

Cole Wisniewski: "Obviously the tradition of the Eagles and the history that they have, I mean, from an outside perspective, it's been awesome. I'm really looking forward to getting to learn even more about it and everything that makes them tick. But honestly right now, it'll be just getting into that room and getting to know my new teammates. I'm really excited about that."
