The son of a former Buccaneers player is Toledo defensive lineman Culpepper, whose father Brad played the same position and was in Tampa for six of his nine NFL seasons. The younger Culpepper (6-4, 290) started his college career at Penn State in 2018 but gained much more playing time after transferring to Toledo in 2021. Last season, he earned first-team All-MAC honors after racking up 9.0 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss, both team highs for the Rockets. He played his prep ball at Plant High School in Tampa and was a first-team All-Tampa selection as a senior.
DeLoach (5-11, 210), a Florida State linebacker like Bucs Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks, showed off 4.47-second speed in the 40-yard dash at the Combine and racked up 10.0 sacks over the past two seasons. He started 37 games over the past three seasons and overall produced 212 tackles, 11.0 sacks, two interceptions, 13 passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 55 games as a Seminole. A decorated high school athlete in Savannah, Georgia, DeLoach played linebacker, defensive line, running back, tight end, kick returner and punter. He finished his prep career with more than 400 tackles on defense, 911 rushing yards on offense and five return touchdowns on special teams.

Overall, Funderburk played 55 games in his college days, with 34 starts, and amassed 123 tackles, 11 interceptions, 33 passes defensed and three forced fumbles.
Annexstad (6-3, 220) gives the Buccaneers four quarterbacks on the 90-man roster, joining Baker Mayfield, Kyle Trask and John Wolford. Annexstad began his college career at Minnesota, where he was named the starting quarterback as a true freshman. He started the first seven games of that season but was limited by injuries in the second half and played only sparingly for the Gophers over the next three years. Annexstad then transferred to Illinois State in 2022 and started the next two seasons for the Redbirds, compiling 3,547 passing yards and 27 touchdown passes against 12 interceptions.
