Cowboys Scout College Prospects for Pass Defense

0:00On March 27th, the Dallas Cowboys finish last season with the NFL's worst past defense and they're wasting no time fixing it. Head coach Brian Shottenheimer has been on a scouting mission, hitting the NFL Combine last month and now racing through college pro days to I-top, prospects for the upcoming draft. Earlier this week, Shottenheimer headed to the Miami Hurricanes' pro day in Coral Gables, Florida, joined by Cowboys legend Michael Irvin, a former. Hurricane himself. Irvin made it clear he wants plenty of talent from his alma mater to join Dallas. Prospects like cornerback Hiance Scott turn heads with a 4.33 second 40 yard dash, making him a prime nickel corner fit for. The Cowboys' secondary needs, defensive and Rubin Bane Jr. also impressed, fresh off 9.5 sacks in college, though he might go early with his past rush skills. From there, the Cowboys kept the momentum going, visiting Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech pro days right after Miami on March 23rd, 2026.

1:03They scouted 9 more campuses this month alone, alongside defensive coordinator Christian Parker. With picks at number 12 and number 20 in the first round, Dallas looks prime to grab these athletic standouts and rebuild that leaky defense. For a stronger run next year.
