Ivy League And The Combine

Wondering if Princeton wide receiver Jesper Horsted or any other Ivy Leaguer was invited to the NFL Combine, which will run from March 1-4?

Nope.

Here are the FCS players who will be in Indianapolis:

Alabama State offensive tackle Tytus Howard
Cal Davis wide receiver Keelan Doss
Delaware safety Nasir Adderly
Elon offensive tackle Oli Udoh
Morgan State offensive tackle Joshua Miles
Northern Arizona wide receiver Emmanuel Butler
North Carolina A&T defensive end Darryl Johnson Jr.
North Dakota State quarterback Easton Stick
Northern Colorado wide receiver Alex Wesley
Northwestern State wide receiver Jazz Ferguson
South Dakota State corner Jordan Brown
Villanova offensive tackle Ethan Greenidge
Weber State offensive guard Iosua Opeta
Western Illinois defensive tackle Khalen Saunders

The last Dartmouth player earning an invitation to the NFL Combine was receiver Craig Morton '89, who went on to play in the NFL's World League of American Football. (Find a blurb about Morton in the book Green Fields of Autumn HERE.)
