The 2026 NFL Draft Combine list of 319 prospects features four Arizona State Sun Devils and a trio of Arizona Wildcats.
The Sun Devils will be represented by wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, offensive tackle Max Iheanachor, linebacker Keyshaun Elliott and cornerback Keith Abney II.
The Wildcats, meanwhile, saw a trio of defensive backs receive invites in Dalton Johnson, Genesis Smith and Treydan Stukes.
Tyson is the big name to watch among the local players invited given his projection as a high first-round draft pick this April.
He dealt with inconsistent quarterback play and injury in 2025 but still managed to reel in eight touchdowns and 711 yards on 61 catches across nine games. What really put him on the map was his 2024 totals of 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns in 12 games played.

ESPN’s Field Yates has the wide receiver landing with the New Orleans Saints with the No. 8 overall pick in his mock draft released Wednesday.
Tyson isn’t the only ASU player receiving a good amount of Day 1 love. Iheanachor has also been in the first-round conversation. He went to the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 23 in Yates’ latest mock.
Iheanachor is coming off 32 career games played for ASU across the past three seasons. He also flashed his potential at this year’s Senior Bowl.
