The NFL announced on Wednesday that 11 players from the LSU 2025 football team will participate in the 2026 NFL Combine, scheduled to take place in Indianapolis from February 23 to March 2. This group of LSU players positions the school alongside Ohio State, both tied for the third-highest number of invites among FBS programs.
LSU’s Wide Receiver Group Leads Nation
Among the invited LSU players, four wide receivers earned spots, the highest number of receivers from any college nationwide. The invited wideouts include Aaron Anderson, Barion Brown, Chris Hilton, and Zavion Thomas, highlighting the strength of LSU’s receiving corps as they prepare for the next stage of their professional careers.
Standout Defensive Back and Quarterback Also Invited
Leading LSU’s contingent is cornerback Mansoor Delane, who earned unanimous All-America honors and was a finalist for the Thorpe Award, which recognizes the nation’s top defensive back. Delane is anticipated to become LSU’s 54th first-round NFL Draft selection in April. Joining him is quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, recently named the most valuable player at the 2026 Senior Bowl. Nussmeier finished his college career joining a select group of LSU passers with over 7,000 yards and ranking among the program’s leaders in multiple passing categories.
Additional LSU Players Invited to the Combine
The full LSU roster for the combine also features tight end Bauer Sharp; edge rushers Patrick Payton and Jack Pyburn; linebacker Harold Perkins; and safety A.J. Haulcy. These players represent a balanced mix of defensive and offensive talent ready to impress NFL scouts and coaches during the evaluation process.
Significance of LSU’s Presence at the Combine
LSU’s strong representation at the NFL Combine underscores the program’s continued ability to develop high-caliber talent capable of competing at the professional level. The Combine provides these players a pivotal platform to showcase their skills ahead of the NFL Draft in late April. Observers and fans alike will closely watch these prospects as they aim to embark on successful NFL careers.
