2024 NFL Draft top-30 visits tracker: Full list of every prospect all 32 teams have brought in for meetings

Prospects are meeting with teams as the 2024 nfl draft approaches.

The 2024 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, meaning teams do not have much time to finalize their draft boards, evaluate prospects and schedule visits with potential picks. Top-30 visits are currently in full swing, with players and teams getting their final face time in before the big event.

Teams can bring up to 30 players for these "top-30 visits" in order to get to know the players more with meetings, interviews and a physical. These visits can tell a team a lot about the players and whether they would be good fits for their squad.

As it currently stands, the Chicago Bears have the No. 1 overall pick and are expected to take USC quarterback Caleb Williams. The Washington Commanders have the No. 2 overall pick and the New England Patriots follow at No. 3. The Commanders and Patriots are both expected to take quarterbacks, with North Carolina's Drake Maye and LSU's Jayden Daniels as two of the top options.

With 32 teams bringing in up to 30 players, there can be up to 960 visits across the NFL . It's a lot to keep track of, but lucky for you, CBS Sports has you covered on everything you need to know. Here's our updating list of top-30 visits for every team.

The 2024  NFL Draft  will take place from April 25-27 in Detroit. More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including the weekly  updated draft order ,  mock drafts  and a regularly available  look at the eligible prospects .

Indiana State's Robbie Avila enters NCAA transfer portal

Take a look at some of Robbie Avila's best plays of the season at Indiana State as he entered the transfer portal on Tuesday. (1:59)

Indiana State star Robbie Avila , one of the breakout stars of the 2023-24 college basketball season, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Avila, a 6-foot-10 sophomore center, averaged 17.4 points and 4.1 assists for Indiana State this season, earning first-team All-Missouri Valley honors. Along the way, he became one of the sport's most endearing personalities, as the combination of his trademark goggles and playing at Larry Bird's former school earned him nicknames like "Cream Abdul-Jabbar," "Larry Nerd" and "Steph Blurry."

Sources told ESPN that Avila is a strong favorite to follow former ISU coach Josh Schertz to Saint Louis, where Schertz was hired in the wake of ISU's regular-season Missouri Valley title and a run to the NIT Finals.

Avila's portal entry is marked by a red exclamation point, which means not to reach out to him, a sign that he's already made up his mind on his destination.

Indiana State went 32-7 last season and was widely considered one of the biggest snubs from the NCAA tournament. It earned a No. 1 seed in the NIT and beat SMU, Minnesota, Cincinnati and Utah in the NIT, before falling to Seton Hall in the final.

Avila is one of eight Indiana State basketball players to enter the portal in the past two days, which includes the team's five leading scorers. There's a chance many of the five end up following Schertz to Saint Louis, although none have marked their portal entry with requests not to contact.

Avila is joined in the portal by guard Ryan Conwell (16.6 PPG), guard Isaiah Swope (15.9 PPG), guard Jayson Kent (13.5 PPG) and guard Julian Larry (11.0 PPG). There's a strong chance that Saint Louis' lineup has a similar feel to ISU's last season.

Avila is from Oak Forest, Illinois, and shows an uncanny feel and touch for the game. He's a deft passer and helps makes Schertz's offense flow as one of the most aesthetically pleasing and effective in the country. Indiana State finished No. 1 in college basketball in effective field goal percentage (59.8%) and two-point percentage (62.4%).

Indiana State's Robbie Avila Enters Transfer Portal

• Author: Karl Rasmussen

In this story:

Indiana State star and viral sensation Robbie Avila has entered the transfer portal following the conclusion of the 2023-24 college basketball season, per ESPN's Pete Thamel .

Avila is set to enter his junior season in 2024-25 and figures to have two remaining years of NCAA eligibility.

As a sophomore, Avila made the 2023-24 All-MVC Team and was a member of the '24 All-MVC Tournament Team. The goggles-clad sharpshooter rose to national prominence due to his smooth offensive game and his appearance, which earned him the playful moniker "Cream Abdul-Jabbar," among other nicknames.

Avila's decision to enter the transfer portal comes on the heels of Sycamores coach Josh Schertz departing for the same role at Saint Louis. The entirety of Indiana State's starting five entered the portal on Tuesday, and reports indicate there's a chance they join their coach on the Billikens.

Across 37 games, the 20-year-old Avila averaged a team-high 17.4 points along with 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists. He figures to draw plenty of interest in the transfer portal, especially considering he'd likely be more than a one-year rental for his next school, given his two seasons of eligibility.

Florida pre-med student stabs mother more than 70 times, killing her during visit, authorities say

A Florida pre-med university student killed his mother by stabbing her over 70 times without saying a word when he visited her from college over the weekend, authorities said.

After Emmanuel Espinoza, 21, killed his mother on Saturday, he perplexedly told detectives that he loved her and that they had a good relationship — but that he had wanted to kill her for years because she irritated him, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

Espinoza has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his mother, 46-year-old Elvia Espinoza, the sheriff's office said.

The student at the University of Florida in Gainesville had traveled to Frostproof, Florida, for a family event Saturday and was going to stay with his mother, Judd said .

He arrived at her home around 2 p.m., knocked on the front door, and seemingly without provocation stabbed her "many times" after she opened the door, Judd said.

On Sunday, Judd shared doorbell camera video from Elvia's home that showed Emmanuel approach with a small knife in his right hand, hidden behind his back, and knock on the door. Judd said that Emmanuel had put AirPods in his ears and was playing Kanye West and Jay-Z's song “No Church in the Wild” when he drove up to the house and knocked on the front door. 

“His beautiful mother, who was so excited to see her son, opened the door. The second she opened the door, he charged in and started stabbing her,” Judd said.

The mother ran from him, but "he stabbed her until she fell down and died."

Judd said Emmanuel confessed to stabbing his mother repeatedly, even when he noticed her hands were still moving. He told detectives that he knew where to stab her for maximum effect because of his biology classes. 

Emmanuel told detectives that he had cut his hand in the stabbing. When he went to the kitchen sink to wash himself and the knife off, "he wanted to ask his mother for the Neosporin for the cut on his hand, but he noticed she was dead," Judd said.

Emmanuel immediately dialed 911 and confessed to operators. 

Audio of the dispatch call was played for reporters Sunday.

“I killed someone,” Emmanuel is heard telling dispatch. “I stabbed my mom.”

When Emmanuel spoke with detectives, he told them he loved his mother and had a good relationship with her but that she irritated him.

“We talked to him and he confessed. He said, 'You know, I have wanted to kill my mother for many, many years because she got on my nerves,'" Judd said.

When asked, "What’s your relationship with your mother?" Espinoza replied: "About a eight out of 10."

"He really loved her, but she irritated him and he made up his mind today on his way from Gainesville that he would murder her, and that’s exactly what he did," Judd said Saturday.

The sheriff said Emmanuel told detectives he wasn't on drugs or alcohol at the time of the stabbing — nor did he have any history of such abuse or mental health issues, no arrest record and there was no record of calls under the Baker Act (which focuses on crisis services for individuals with mental illness) to the home.

Emmanuel was known to be introverted and quiet, with zero issues, Judd told reporters. He was the Class of 2020 valedictorian at his high school and was "described as being a genius."

"[Elvia] wanted to come see him because she hadn’t seen him in a while. They text every day, every other day, they stay in constant contact. No issues over money. She would send him money to make sure she appropriately funded his ability to go to college and enjoy his college life. No argument that day. He never said a word to her," Judd said.

Elvia Espinoza was a mother of three and beloved second-grade teacher at Ben Hill Griffin Elementary in Frostproof, and was "well-loved" by the community, the sheriff's office said, calling the incident "an inexplicable vicious murder."

“I want you to understand this lady who was a school teacher for 20 years actually moved around and taught at different schools while her kids were in school so she could be close to them,” Judd said. “I want you to understand that she was the perfect mom. I want you to understand that she was very proud of his accomplishments.”

“Then I want you to understand that he viciously murdered her and confessed to it,” he added.

Polk County Public Schools said in a statement: “Her students and colleagues greatly loved her, and her sudden, unexpected death is a devastating loss. She was a very special part of her school family.”

Grief counselors have been made available at her school and another school where she previously worked.
