On Monday via social media, wide receiver LaJohntay Wester became the first Colorado football player to formally announce an invite to the 2025 NFL scouting combine.
Held from Feb. 27 to March 5 in Indianapolis, Indiana, the combine will give Wester a chance to put his talent on display in a myriad of drills while under the watchful eyes of NFL scouts, coaches and front office members.
Wester racked up all-time great numbers throughout his collegiate career, finishing sixth in Football Bowl Subdivision history with 326 catches. After four years with the Florida Atlantic Owls, including an FWAA First-Team All-American campaign in 2023 as a punt returner, Wester logged 74 catches for 931 yards and 10 touchdowns with the Buffs last season.
The Palmetto, Florida native quickly developed chemistry with quarterback Shedeur Sanders and helped make one of the greatest memories in recent CU football history with his game-tying Hail Mary grab against the Baylor Bears in September.
While Wester may have lived in the Flatiron-laden shadows of head coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter during his only Power Four season, he certainly has the skills and pedigree to hear his name called in the NFL draft this April.
