Ten former Notre Dame players were invited to the combine. Ohio State, with 14 invitees, is the only school that will send more players to Indianapolis for the event.

Wide receiver Chris Brown, defensive tackle Sheldon Day, wide receiver Will Fuller, offensive lineman Nick Martin, defensive end Romeo Okwara, running back C.J. Prosise, cornerback KeiVarae Russell, safety Elijah Shumate, linebacker Jaylon Smith and offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley were all invited to the combine.

The combine begins Feb. 23 and runs through Feb. 29. The full list of participants can be found here.
