OU football has its most participants at the NFL Combine since 2022.
There were 10 Sooners invited to participate in the 2026 combine. WR Deion Burks, TE Jaren Kanak, OL Febechi Nwaiwu, DL Gracen Halton, DL Marvin Jones Jr., DL R Mason Thomas, DL Damonic Williams, LB Kendal Daniels, LB Owen Heinecke and S Robert Spears-Jennings. On Thursday, it was the defensive linemen and linebackers who competed in the drills.
