The Dolphins announced a 10-man UDFA class Wednesday. Here is the full list:
- Matt Cole, WR (McKendree)
- Jonathan Hubbard, T (Northwestern State)
- Kylan Johnson, LB (Pittsburgh)
- Benito Jones, DT (Ole Miss)
- Nick Kaltmayer, T (Kansas State)
- Ray Lima, DT (Iowa State)
- Kirk Merritt, WR (Arkansas State)
- Tyshun Render, DE (Middle Tennessee)
- Donell Stanley, C (South Carolina)
- Bryce Sterk, DE (Montana State)
The Dolphins saw 2019 UDFA Preston Williams make an impact as a rookie and will give two more a shot. A Washington transfer, Sterk recorded a Division I-FCS-best 15 sacks last season. Cole averaged 21.8 yards per catch for his Division II program last season. Merritt, who also played at Oregon, caught 153 passes for 1,811 yards and 19 touchdowns between his junior and senior seasons at the FCS level.
Jones started three seasons for Ole Miss and led SEC nose tackles with 30 stops last season. He finished with 10.5 career sacks as well. Staley started three seasons for the Gamecocks, making 23 starts at center and 11 at left guard. The Dolphins will guarantee $65K of Render’s salary, with $15K coming via signing bonus, according to the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson (on Twitter). Render forced two fumbles and recorded 3.5 sacks last season.

By no means am I a Dolphins fan living here in PA but my grade school son is and what they did the last half of the year and now in the draft is pretty impressive. on paper it looks like this organization has their crap together and getting their guys in there. I love what they are doing and could seriously push for a 2nd place finish in the division. Might be a 9 win team.
As a parent I think I know where this will go Coach. Your son is going to approach you at some point and say “Hey, dad, if the Dolphins win this weekend and your team loses, you’ll do my homework for me right?” Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
How does the Houston Chronicle get ALL these scoops?
I guess they hire the staffers from Weekly World News that are tired of reporting on Bat Boy.
What has the performance of Iowa State DT Ray Lima
BEAN ??
Anything else to report on Arkansas State WR Kirk that is of MERRITT ??
Not only does Donnell STANLEY have all the TOOLS, I venture to say that he is a LOCK to make the roster !!
Jonathan HUBBARD can now concentrate on football and stop working on his mother’s cupboards !!
