The spoils of the 2022 college football season showed up for 15 Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia players in the form of invitations to the NFL Combine.
The one-stop scouting mission, one of the biggest events on the NFL calendar, will be held Feb. 28 through March 6 at RCA Dome in Indianapolis.
Seven Penn State players are scheduled to attend, including North Allegheny graduate Joey Porter Jr., a cornerback who could be a first- or second-round draft choice. He will be joined by Nittany Lions wide receivers Mitchell Tinsley and Parker Washington, tight end Brenton Strange, center Juice Scruggs, defensive tackle P.J. Mustipher and safety Ji’Ayir Brown.
Pitt will be represented by six players, including four from the defense, plus running back Izzy Abanikanda and offensive tackle Carter Warren. Consensus All-American tackle Calijah Kancey, end Habakkuk Baldonado, linebacker SirVocea Dennis and safety Brandon Hill are among the Pitt defensive players expected to attend.
West Virginia wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton and defensive lineman Dante Stills also received invitations.
