UTSA offensive lineman Josh Dunlop and defensive end Eric Banks are headed to Los Angeles as undrafted free agents, with Dunlop joining the Chargers and Banks going to the Rams.

The players confirmed their signings via Twitter on Saturday night, hours after the conclusion of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Dunlop earned an all-Conference USA honorable mention last season after starting every game at right tackle. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder started 31 of 35 games during three seasons at UTSA as a transfer from Dodge City (Kansas) Community College. He also played right guard and left tackle for the Roadrunners.

A four-year contributor at defensive end, Banks made 23 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and three sacks in 2019. The 6-foot-5, 270-pounder came to UTSA from Memphis East, where he also played quarterback. Banks will be reunited with Rams defensive line coach Eric Henderson, who held the same role at UTSA during Banks’ freshman season in 2016.
