Raiders Continue to Focus on Speed, Will Meet With UTSA CB Tariq Woolen

Another one of the Raiders' top-30 prospects will be meeting with the organization ahead of the NFL Draft.

The Draft Network's Ryan Fowler announced that Las Vegas will be visited by the University of Texas at San Antonio cornerback Tariq Woolen via Twitter on Wednesday.

Woolen spent five seasons with UTSA, having redshirted in his first year with the program. The Fort Worth, Texas native began his collegiate career as a wide receiver before moving to CB toward the end of his third season. He made six starts while at wideout for the Roadrunners.

In his first season as a full-time secondary member, Woolen made seven starts out of 11 appearances. He recorded 35 combined tackles, 1.5 sacks, four passes defended two quarterback hurries, and one interception.

Woolen would break out in his final season with the Roadrunners after starting in nine of the contests he appeared in. He tallied 25 combined tackles, five passes defended one interception and one QB hurry.

The CB's senior campaign earned him invitations to the Reese's Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine Bowl, and NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.

Woolen put on a dominant display in the 2022 NFL Combine, reaching 42 inches in the vertical jump and recording the second-fastest 40-yard dash time with a 4.26. It was the fourth-fastest time in the history of the NFL Combine.

The secondary continues to be one of the primary groups that the Raiders need to modify before the start of the 2022 season, and Woolen could be a solid piece in that process.
