Villanova Football Cornerback Isas Waxter Signs With Seahawks

Villanova football alumnus Isas “Ice” Waxter II didn’t hear his name called in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he still managed to sign a professional contract on Saturday, April 26, inking a deal with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent soon after the conclusion of the draft.

Waxter, 23, spent six seasons with Villanova football, including a medical redshirt in 2022 after an injury caused him to miss the entire season. He racked up three interceptions — all of them during the 2023 season, his first as an All-American — 75 solo tackles, 19 passes defended, three forced fumbles and seven tackles for loss during 46 games in his Wildcats’ career.

A cornerback by trade, Waxter stands 6-foot-1 and weighed in at 209 pounds at the NFL combine. Even for the pros, Waxter is bigger than the average corner, but that didn’t stop him from running a respectable 4.56 second 40-yard dash in Indianapolis. Even so, a position switch to safety could serve Waxter best as he looks to catch on with Seattle… especially because undrafted free agents face an uphill battle to even earn a roster spot out of training camp. Excelling on special teams is another way Waxter could show he belongs.

Waxter joins Christian Benford, who signed a four year, $76 million contract extension with the Buffalo Bills this offseason, as one of two Villanova football products currently active in the NFL.
