Quinn Ewers, Jaydon Blue, Isaiah Bond, Matthew Golden, Gunnar Helm, Kelvin Banks, Hayden Conner, Jake Majors, Cameron Williams, Vernon Broughton, Alfred Collins, Barryn Sorrell, Jahdae Barron, and Andrew Mukuba will head to Indianapolis from February 24 through March 3.

The 14 representatives is the second-most from any school behind only Ohio State.

Defensive linemen and linebackers are scheduled to start their combine on February 27. Defensive backs and tight ends follow on February 28. Quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs will go on March 1. Offensive linemen will finish the event on March 2.

Sorrell is the only Longhorn that attended the Senior Bowl following the season where he was a practice player of the week, an honor given to him by the offensive linemen competing against him. Outside of Sorrell, this will be the first look that NFL scouts will get from Longhorn players since their 28-14 loss to OSU.

Missing from the Combine invitations include linebackers David Gbenda and Morice Blackwell, tight end Juan Davis, wide receiver Silas Bolden, cornerback Gavin Holmes and defensive linemen Bill Norton and Jermayne Lole.

The 14 Longhorns in Indianapolis breaks the mark set by the 11-man contingent that went to the 2024 NFL Combine. All 11 who went to the 2024 Combine were picked in the 2024 NFL Draft, the most from Texas since the draft went to a seven-round format in 1994.
