The Miami Dolphins took six players in the first three rounds and two days of the 2026 NFL draft, but one of the most intriguing players in their rookie class is fourth-round pick Kyle Louis.
Louis, 22, played four years at Pittsburgh, earning All-ACC honors twice and All-American honors once. In 37 games, he recorded 201 tackles, 10 sacks, six interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
After the selection, Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi congratulated his former player and gave Dolphins fans some insight into what Louis will bring with him to South Florida.
“He is everything you look for in a player,” Narduzzi wrote. “Coach Hafley and the Dolphins aren’t just getting a great player—they’re getting a competitor who elevates everyone in the locker room. Through hard work, he grew from a talented young player to the leader of our team!
Playing both safety and linebacker, Louis will likely be on the field early and often for the Dolphins in his rookie season. There’s even a chance he’s named a starting safety out of camp if he shows up and shows out during their offseason program and in the preseason.
