Daniels Leads KU's NFL Combine Quartet
13 Feb
Summary
- Four Kansas football players invited to NFL Combine.
- Jalon Daniels is first KU QB invited since 2000.
- Kansas has eight combine invites in two years.
Four members of the 2025 Kansas football team are heading to Indianapolis for the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, scheduled from February 23 to March 2. Quarterback Jalon Daniels, wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr., offensive lineman Enrique Cruz Jr., and kicker Laith Marjan received invitations earlier this week.
Daniels, the first Kansas quarterback invited since at least 2000, finished his career second in school history for passing yards and touchdowns. Henderson Jr. was the team's leading receiver in 2025 and also a threat on special teams.
Cruz Jr. earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention at right tackle, while Marjan set a school record for consecutive field goals made. These four players will showcase their skills before scouts and coaches in preparation for the 2026 NFL Draft.
This marks the most NFL Scouting Combine invitations for Kansas in a two-year span since 2000, with eight players receiving invites over the last two seasons. Despite recent successes, not all invited players have been drafted, underscoring the competitive nature of the draft process.
