USC safety Kamari Ramsey, who is projected to be a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, recently visited the Dallas Cowboys as part of the team's 30 pre-draft visits. The Cowboys are in need of defensive reinforcements after finishing last season with the third-worst yards per game allowed and the most points per game allowed in the NFL.

Why it matters

The Cowboys have struggled on the defensive side of the ball in recent seasons, and they will need to address those issues in the upcoming draft. Drafting a talented defensive back like Kamari Ramsey could help improve their secondary and overall defensive performance.

The details

Ramsey, a four-star recruit out of high school, played his first two college seasons at UCLA before transferring to USC for his final two years. In his two seasons with the Trojans, he recorded 87 total tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 7 passes defended, and 2 forced fumbles. The Cowboys, who have two first-round picks, a third-round pick, and a fourth-round pick in the first four rounds of the draft, will be looking to shore up their defense early on.

• Ramsey announced he would declare for the 2026 NFL Draft at the conclusion of the Trojans' 2025 regular season.
• Ramsey went on a 30 pre-draft visit with the Cowboys on March 28, 2026.
