Former USC offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees suffered a potentially torn ACL on Sunday at the NFL Scouting Combine, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The Combine wraps up on Monday and despite his injury, Vorhees reportedly powered through and did 38 reps on the bench press with one leg on the ground.

“USC OL Andrew Vorhees, a top-100 prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft, is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during drills at the combine Sunday, per source,” Pelissero tweeted.

“Somehow, Vorhees still did the bench press this morning – and pumped out 38 reps of 225 pounds with one leg on the ground.”

According to the ESPN best-available board for the 2023 NFL Draft, Vorhees is the No. 4 guard prospect in this year’s draft class.

Prior to his injury, Vorhees posted a vertical jump of 29 inches, which tied for No. 21 among the 40 offensive linemen who participated. He posted an 8’9″ broad jump, which tied for No. 23 among the 39 linemen who did that event.
