The Dallas Cowboys drafted offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius with the No. 204 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, making him the third offensive player and second lineman chosen by the team this year. Cornelius, who faced a demanding commute to high school for quality football, began his college career at Rhode Island before transferring to Oregon. He admires NFL stars like Laremy Tunsil and Lane Johnson and noted that Penn State's Abdul Carter presented significant challenges during his college career. His high school coach, Ronald Gunther, has been a major influence in his life.
"Attending Archbishop Stepinac in White Plains, N.Y., growing up, Cornelius had to travel an hour-and-a-half every morning, riding two buses and two trains..."
"Cornelius cited Laremy Tunsil, Lane Johnson and Penei Sewell, among others, when asked which offensive linemen he liked to watch at the NFL Combine."
