The Arizona State Sun Devils have had four players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, which is set to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium from February 23 to March 2, 2026. It will feature 319 of the top draft prospects in the country, who are en route to the 2026 NFL Draft.

2026 ASU Combine Invitees

Arizona State has four invitees who present a wide spectrum of talent in the roster

  1. Jordan Tyson is the star that ASU has to showcase and is generally being touted as a high first-round pick following a spectacular season as the Sun Devils number one offensive weapon.
  2. Max Iheanachor is draft prospect who has quickly risen to prominence, Iheanachor boosted his stock through a strong performance at the Senior Bowl, and he is steady in pass protection.
  3. Keith Abney developed a national profile as a defender in lockdown, being the top FBS in regular season coverage snaps without a touchdown being scored.
  4. Keyshaun Elliott led the team with 98 tackles, as well as seven sacks; he could make a difference at both levels.

What It Means for the Program

The four joint offers by Arizona State are a significant progress of the program. In 2025, the Sun Devils had only one player attending the combine. So the number of players in 2026 is a clear indicator of better player development and national awareness.

Even though there are productive contributors who just missed out on invitations. The presence of ASU at the combine is an indicator of the building momentum as the program goes back to establishing itself nationally.
