EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ -Aditya Singh, a graduating senior defensive lineman from Oklahoma Baptist University, has signed with High Integrity Management as he pursues selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, where he could become one of the first Indian American players in league history.

The 6-foot, 285-pound prospect said the possibility of reaching the NFL carries a larger purpose.

“That doesn’t create pressure -it creates purpose,” Singh said in a statement released with the announcement. “If I’m going to open a door, I want others walking through it behind me.”

Singh’s college career included spells at the University of Massachusetts and Southern Connecticut State before his move to Oklahoma Baptist.

He is coming off a season in which he played 710 of 793 defensive snaps, earned All-Conference honors, and received invitations to the FCS National Bowl and the Dream Bowl. He also led all interior defensive tackles in his conference in total tackles.

Tyler Roberts, Singh’s defensive line coach at Oklahoma Baptist, praised his work ethic.

“Unbelievably hard worker that will put the time and effort to be the best version of himself,” Roberts said in the statement. “It was an absolute pleasure to coach him.”

As part of his pre-draft preparation, Singh has been training with Olympic gold medalist Ato Boldon.

“In such a short period of time, he was one of the most improved players I have trained recently,” Boldon said in the release.

Reflecting on the draft process, Singh said, “I might not be the biggest or fastest, but I’ll be the last one standing.”

He added: “I’m not asking for guarantees. Just a chance.”
