Several members of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School football team and the family of former coach Aaron Feis will announce the late round 2018 NFL Draft picks for the Miami Dolphins, Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee reported Thursday.

A security guard and assistant football coach at the Parkland, Fla. high school, Feis was one of 17 victims killed in the Feb. 14 shooting. Feis died while trying to shield students from gunfire.

Busbee reported 18 graduating seniors from MS Douglas will announce the Dolphins picks in the fourth through seventh rounds on the NFL Draft on April 28.

The Dolphins reached out to MS Douglas and Feis’ family after the shooting, donating $100,000 to the Parkland community in addition to running a football clinic and over $17,000 to Feis’ family, according to Busbee.
