The NFL has released its list of players invited to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine.
A total of 319 prospects have been invited to attend this year’s event, which will take place in Indianapolis from February 23 through March 2.
Among them are 43 former players from schools in the West. Oregon accounts for nine of them, followed by USC with seven. Utah and Washington each have five, and Arizona State has four. No other program has more than three.
You’ll find a breakdown by school below the list of players.
The event will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium. Top college prospects are invited to perform on-field drills, participate in medical exams, and meet with NFL coaches and executives. Fans can attend the free Combine Experience from February 26 to March 1, 2026.
You can view historical results for the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, and bench press for players from college programs in the West at these links.
With increasing interest in the NFL Draft, the scouting combine has grown in scope and significance, allowing personnel directors to evaluate upcoming prospects in a standardized setting.
Player performances during the combine can affect their draft status and initial salary.
The draft has popularized the term “workout warrior,” whereby an average or subpar athlete’s “draft stock” is increased based on superior measurable qualities such as size, speed, and strength.
In addition to the 40-yard dash, bench press, and vertical jump, the tests also include a broad jump, 20-yard shuttle, 3-cone drill, 60-yard shuttle, and position-specific drills.
Before the drills, players go through interviews, physical measurements, injury evaluations, drug screening, and the Cybex test. (The Wonderlic test has been discontinued.)
