Five Ole Miss players receive invites to 2023 NFL Scouting Combine
OXFORD, Miss. — Five Ole Miss players have received invitations to this year’s NFL Scouting Combine as they prepare for the 2023 NFL Draft.
Ole Miss announced Tuesday that receivers Malik Heath and Jonathan Mingo, running back Zach Evans, defensive lineman Tavius Robinson and offensive lineman Nick Broeker have received the coveted invites.
Evans, a transfer from TCU, carried 144 times for 936 yards and nine touchdowns in his lone season in Oxford. He missed a little time to injury but was a key component of the 1-2 rushing punch with Quinshon Judkins.
