Five USC football players have been invited to the 2023 NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. The event will take place from February 28 through March 6.
USC’s invitees include wide receiver Jordan Addison, cornerback Mekhi Blackmon, defensive lineman Tuli Tuipulotu, and offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees, and — last but not least — running back Travis Dye.
Travis Dye enjoyed a strong season cut short by injury. Dye finished with a team-best 891 yards on a team-leading 145 carries (6.1 yards per carry) and also scored nine rushing touchdowns. He added 21 catches for 201 receiving yards as well.
Dye projects as a reliable depth piece who could end up on a practice squad early on. His effort should allow him to contribute on special teams. He lacks the size and athleticism to ever be given a high volume of touches, his NFL comparison to me is Phillip Lindsay.
The combine gives scouts the chance to evaluate the year’s top draft-eligible college players on a variety of medical, mental and physical criteria.
This was a really interesting sound bite from Travis Dye 🦆 https://t.co/KsSwyZNniM
