2025 NFL Draft logoWith the 2026 NFL Draft in the books, here are our updated history summary capsules for the top college football programs in the West.

The tables below include the total number of players drafted all time, according to 247Sports, along with each program’s highest-ever pick, their most recent, and all-time First-Rounders, the number of players taken in 2025, and the most recent year without a pick.

Among college programs in the West, USC leads all schools with 533 draft picks, with 88 of them taken in the First Round.

Amazingly, the Trojans have had at least one player drafted every year since 1938, and at least two players taken in all but four of those years (1936, 1937, 1938, and 1998).

On the other end of the spectrum, only 10 Air Force players have been selected in its history, none of them First-Rounders.
