The next step in the NFL Draft process takes place later this month as Ole Miss players join a group of nearly 330 descending on Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

On Thursday the full list of players to receive invites to the combine was revealed and the Rebels had 11 former players earn the opportunity to perform in front of NFL coaches, scouts and executives.

The Scouting Combine, taking place February 24 through March 3, is the second step in the NFL Draft process and follows the all-star games that took place on January 30 and February 1.

For the 11 Ole Miss players this is the first of two opportunities with the combine happening before the local Pro Day that will take place in Oxford at a later date to be announced.

Most of the Rebels earning invitations are expected and also were among the rosters for the East-West Shrine Bowl and the Senior Bowl.

The 11 Ole Miss players are listed below:

For Dart it is another chance to raise his draft stock that has skyrocketed since the Gator Bowl last month and carried the momentum over into the week at the Senior Bowl.

With a quarterback draft pool that is not oversaturated, Dart is finding his name get mixed in as potentially the third player at the position to be selected behind Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.

First round prospects Nolen and Amos will all but lock up their draft stock even more with a good week in Indianapolis. Ivey, Umanmielen and Pegues can boost their stock with strong performances, too.

The most interesting name on the list is Bentley, who will have his first chance to impress in front of NFL decision makers after not playing in either showcase game a couple weeks ago.

Live coverage of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine will start on February 27 on NFL Network and NFL+.
