A total of 329 prospects were invited to the 2025 combine. For a full list of invitees, click here.
Of that large list, however, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Ashton Jeanty, and Mason Graham are the names to know.
Hunter, the Heisman-winning two-way who plays both cornerback and wide receiver, is virtually guaranteed to go early, likely in the same range as quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders (the latter, however, has opted not to throw during the combine). Carter, a Penn State pass rusher, has likewise generated lots of hype, though he will not work out at the combine due to a lingering shoulder injury; instead, he will wait to do so until his pro day. Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty is widely agreed to be the best running back of the class and will be the only one to go with one of the first few picks. And defensive lineman Mason Graham, a Michigan Wolverine, could also go in the top five, with NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah having ranked him at No. 4 in his top 50 prospect rankings.
