Four Texas Tech Players Invited to 2025 NFL Combine

 

LUBBOCK, TX — Texas Tech’s Tahj Brooks, Jalin Conyers, Josh Kelly, and Caleb Rogers have been invited to the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, the NFL announced Thursday. The annual event, featuring 329 prospects, will take place in Indianapolis from Feb. 24 through March 3.

Live coverage from Lucas Oil Stadium will begin February 27 on NFL Network and NFL+. Defensive linemen and linebackers will participate on the opening day, followed by defensive backs and tight ends— including Conyers — on Feb. 28. Quarterbacks, wide receivers — including Kelly — and running backs — including Brooks — will take the field on March 1, while offensive linemen — including Rogers — will conclude workouts on March 2.

This marks the eighth consecutive year multiple Red Raiders have received combine invitations, and in the 10th straight year, at least one Texas Tech player has been selected. The four invitations in 2025 represent the program’s highest total in a single year since 2009, when Michael Crabtree, Graham Harrell, Darcel McBath, Louis Vasquez, and Brandon Williams were invited.

Texas Tech has a recent history of producing NFL talent, highlighted by defensive end Tyree Wilson’s selection as the seventh overall pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2023 NFL Draft. In 2024, two of the three Red Raiders invited to the combine — Dadrion Taylor-Demerson and Myles Cole — were drafted, while Tyler Owens signed as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Commanders and earned a spot on the active roster.

The 2025 invitees look to continue a streak of at least one Red Raider drafted within the first four rounds for a sixth straight draft. That streak began in 2020 when linebacker Jordyn Brooks was taken in the first round. In 2021, defensive back Zech McPhearson was drafted in the fourth round, followed by wide receiver Erik Ezukanma in 2022 and Taylor-Demerson in 2024.

The NFL Scouting Combine will air live on NFL Network and NFL+ beginning February 27.
