Dallas Cowboys linebacker Marist Liufau made a surprise appearance at the 2025 WNBA Draft in New York City on Monday night, showing up to support his girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Liufau, who was a star at Notre Dame before being drafted by the Cowboys, is in a relationship with Fighting Irish star guard Sonia Citron.<\/p>\n

Citron was the No. 3 overall pick of the Washington Mystics, which led to a cameo from Liufau in the crowd.<\/p>\n

As Citron was being interviewed by ESPN’s Holly Rowe following the pick, Liufau caught a stray when Rowe roasted him for getting drafted later than his girlfriend. Liufau was a third-round pick of the Cowboys in the 2024 NFL draft.<\/p>\n
