After the Miami Dolphins completed their seven-player draft class with five picks Saturday, the team’s brass got to work on bringing in their top remaining prospects as undrafted free agents. One target they reached an agreement with is one of the more intriguing players in the 2024 class, Bayron Matos, a USF basketball player from the Dominican Republic who walked on to the football team but never played in any games. Along with Matos, the Dolphins are signing, according to a league source: FAU wide receiver Je’Quan Burton, Louisville cornerback Storm Duck, Syracuse defensive back Isaiah Johnson, Ohio State offensive lineman Matthew Jones, UCLA defensive lineman Grayson Murphy, TCU safety Mark Perry, Texas-El Paso quarterback Gavin Hardison and his center at UTEP, Andrew Meyer.
