Tulane Green Wave Recruiting Class of 2025

Tulane Recruiting Class of 2025

The Tulane Green Wave have put a bow on the early signing period by signing 15 new players and one more still to sign but still a hard commit. So far it is a good class with a lot of high-end talent, but the Wave are not done yet the transfer portal opens Monday so with such a low number class look for the Green Wave to hit the portal and get some instant impact players for next year. I'm expecting them to focus on Wide Receiver, Offensive Line, Defensive Line, and Cornerback. The recruiting cycle isn't quite done with another and last signing period coming on February 5th. We should see Tulane round out its final roster spots with that last signing period. Let's get into the Players and some players still uncommitted that Tulane could snag on Feb 5th.   


Remember to DONATE to FEAR THE WAVE everything helps!

Good Change of direction. Dad was in the 1996 summer Olympics, Mom was bronze medalist 1992 and gold in 1996, brother was a 1st round pick in 2020. PEDIGREE!


 Warren Roberts Jr (edge) 6-1.5/220. 3 star/88- Can play with the hand on the ground or standing edge. Will be a great fit for the Bandit position. A true attacking pass rusher who can get after the QB with speed and explosion from the first step. Aggressive play style and sure-fire tackler.

Joshua Brantley (ATH/QB/DB) 6-3/218. 3 star/86- Dual Threat QB with great athleticism. Has the ability to run with power and speed. Projected to make the transition to safety but things can change when camp starts. I could see him at Wide Receiver as well.

Jay Beamon (QB) 6-2/205. 3 star/85- A pocket passing QB with a pretty deep ball with good accuracy. Isn't afraid to take a hit, keeps looking downfield while the defensive lineman closes in. Has some mobility to escape the pocket and improvise. He can definitely run the ball when needed. Nice zip on the ball in tight windows.


Gabriel Lovorn (ATH/RB/TE/LB) 6-4/225. 3 star/84- A do it all athlete who has the ability to play on both sides of the ball. Coaches on twitter were calling him Taysom Hill 2.0! In high school they used him alot like Ty Thompson. Gadget player. Has good speed and ability to make people miss. Fights through contact and is hard to bring down. I like him better on offense than defense.


Gresham Perry (IOL) 6-4/300. 3 star/82 rating ON3- Played LT in high school. Has a mean streak in him and has really good size. Perry play’s with power. Leans a little too much while blocking but that's easily fixed and can get too straight up when blocking.

Transfer Portal Spotlight: Jackson Courville

By Patrick Harkness • August 20, 2026
K 
Jackson Courville- Ohio State 
He committed on January 12, 2026 (after entering the portal January 2) and is now on Tulane’s 2026 roster as a redshirt junior (#96, 5’10”, 185 lbs) from Centerville, OH (Centerville HS). 
Here’s why Courville aligns so well with the Green Wave program: 
• Proven Leg Strength and Clutch MAC Production
: In two seasons as Ball State’s starting kicker (2023-24), he went 26-of-34 on field goals (76.5%) and 54-of-56 on extra points. Highlights include a game-winning 52-yard FG as time expired vs. Northern Illinois (2024), his career long, plus multiple makes from 50+ yards. He was automatic inside 40 yards and showed the power and accuracy Tulane needs after the departure of standout Patrick Durkin. 
• P4 Experience and Fresh Start
: After battling for the job at Ohio State in 2025 (limited to just 4 XPs in one appearance), he brings valuable Big Ten reps and camp competition experience. Now at Tulane, he’s locked in a competitive spring battle with Cooper Helmke and Zach Marini. 
• Immediate Depth and Competition in a Reloading Unit
: Tulane aggressively addressed special teams via the portal after losing Durkin. Courville arrives as a high-upside veteran with two years of eligibility left, ready to compete for the starting job and provide reliable kicking depth right away. 
In short, Jackson Courville is a smart, high-character portal pickup who brings proven production, big-leg power, and built-in chemistry with the offense to a position group that needed reinforcements. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X

PWO Spotlight: Dagan Bruno

By Patrick Harkness • August 20, 2026
Dagan Bruno: The Local Walk-On Made Some Noise in Tulane’s Quarterback Room during Spring Camp Dagan Bruno is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound redshirt sophomore quarterback wearing No. 14 for the Tulane Green Wave. A Preferred Walk-On from New Orleans and John Curtis Christian School, the hometown product has steadily transformed from scout-team specialist into a legitimate competitor in the quarterback room under head coach Will Hall. Bruno arrived at Tulane as a late addition to the 2024 class after a standout multi-sport career at John Curtis. As a junior in 2022, he helped lead the Patriots to a Division I Select state championship and was named the most outstanding player in the title game. In his senior season he completed over 72 percent of his passes for 1,504 yards with 13 touchdowns and just one interception while adding 527 rushing yards and eight scores. A true three-sport athlete who also excelled in basketball and baseball, Bruno maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school. At Tulane he redshirted in 2024 and spent the bulk of his first two seasons running the scout-team offense, particularly the triple-option looks used by Army and Navy. His experience in John Curtis’s split-back veer made him uniquely valuable in preparing the defense. Playing time was limited, and the lack of consistent reps tested his confidence. Everything changed in spring 2026. Bruno forced his way into the conversation with accurate, decisive play. In the final spring scrimmage he went 5-of-5 for 69 yards, capping the day with a perfect 40-yard touchdown strike down the sideline to Antwaun Parham. Coach Will Hall was emphatic in his praise: “You can win with Dagan Bruno. This is not some feel-good story anymore… Dagan can play. I love his competitive spirit. He’s a tough guy, a winner and a leader.” Bruno has made it clear he wants to shed the “option quarterback” label. “A lot of people tried to push me into being the option quarterback guy,” he said. “I’m trying to break away from that a little bit and become a real quarterback that can go out there and throw the ball around, make the right checks and just do everything right.” Heading into fall camp and the 2026 season, Bruno sits in a competitive four-man race alongside Zeon Chriss-Gremillion, Kadin Semonza, and true freshman Trace Johnson. While the early days of camp have been a mixed bag for him after his strong spring, his accuracy, athleticism, toughness, and local knowledge continue to make him a valuable piece of the room. Whether he earns the starting job, serves as a key backup, or provides package plays, the John Curtis product has already proven he belongs. For a preferred walk-on who stayed home and kept working when the spotlight was elsewhere, Dagan Bruno’s rise is a classic New Orleans football story, one that Green Wave fans should watch closely. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
