College teams with most 2023 NFL Combine invitees

Many programs will be represented at the 2023 NFL Combine, but a select few schools will send many top-level talents to the event.

The 2023 NFL Combine will take place from Feb. 28 to March 6 in Indianapolis per usual, and these schools are ready for their prospects to set the world on fire. Here are the college teams with the most invites for this week.

Alabama Crimson Tide (13)

The Crimson Tide are sending the most players to the 2023 NFL Combine, which comes as a surprise to nobody. Alabama could see two of their players picked at the very top of the draft, with Bryce Young and Will Anderson to be highly sought-after by NFL franchises.

In addition to the two Alabama stars, here are the other Alabama players that received invites to the combine: Jordan Battle (DB), Brian Branch (DB), DJ Dale (DL), Emil Ekiyor Jr. (OL), Jahmyr Gibbs (RB), DeMarcco Hellams (DB), Cameron Latu (TE), Eli Ricks (DB), Tyler Steen (OL), Henry To’oTo’o (LB), Byron Young (DL).

Georgia Bulldogs (12)

After setting records at the 2022 NFL Draft and following it up with another title, the Bulldogs will send 12 players to the Combine. Everyone wants a piece of the monster Kirby Smart has built. Georgia defensive leader Jalen Carter likely won’t have to wait long to hear his name called in April, but he isn’t working out this week, instead choosing to focus on interviews.

Here’s who will join Carter as Bulldogs invited to the 2023 NFL Combine: Robert Beal Jr. (DL), Stetson Bennett (QB), Kearis Jackson (WR), Broderick Jones (OL), Warren McClendon (OL), Kenny McIntosh (RB), Jack Podlesny (K), Kelee Ringo (DB), Christopher Smith II (DB), Nolan Smith (DL), Darnell Washington (TE).

LSU Tigers (9)

Brian Kelly enjoyed a tremendous first season in Baton Rouge, and nine of his players will look to accomplish their NFL dream after laying the groundwork for future success. They’ll specifically enjoy some attention at the wide receiver position this week, as Kayshon Boutte and Jaray Jenkins will look to up their stock.

Joining the wide receivers as LSU’s Combine contingent: Micah Baskerville (LB), Anthony Bradford (OL), Mekhi Garner (DB), Ali Gaye (DL), BJ Ojulari (LB), Jaquelin Roy (DL), Jay Ward (DB).

Florida Gators (9)

Florida is the fourth SEC squad to send nine players or more to the Combine. Despite a disappointing season, they have a myriad of NFL talent as always. Expect quarterback Anthony Richardson to have almost the whole league watching how he performs in his showcase.

Richardson will be joined by: Brenton Cox (DL), Trey Dean (DB), Gervon Dexter (DL), Richard Gouraige (OL), Ventrell Miller (LB), Justin Shorter (WR), O’Cyrus Torrence (OL), Rashad Torrence II (DB).

Michigan Wolverines (9)

Jim Harbaugh has brought Michigan to back-to-back Big Ten titles, and now the Wolverines have become one of the best places to take your talents if you’re looking to get to the league. Someone like Wolverines defensive lineman Mazi Smith was built for the Combine, and could raise his stock.

One of those is Heisman runner-up Max Duggan, who will be in attendance, joined by potential first round wide receiver Quentin Johnston.
