College football teams with most NFL Combine invites

One of the most important dates on the offseason football schedule has arrived as the NFL re-groups following the Super Bowl and heads into the active spring and draft season by hosting the annual Combine festivities heading into the 2024 campaign, and that means we'll get to see many of college football's top stars in action again.

As expected, the Big Ten and SEC — the leagues emerging as the two super-conferences in the realignment era — lead the way by sending the most players to this year's NFL Combine, and defending national champion Michigan is tops among all schools in the 2024 honors.

Here's a look at which schools are sending the most players to the 2024 NFL Combine.

1. Michigan, 18
2. Washington, 13
3. Florida St., 12
4. Georgia, Texas: 11
5. Penn St., Alabama: 10
6. USC, LSU, Missouri, Notre Dame, Ohio State: 8
7. Oregon: 7
8. Clemson: 6
9. Louisville, Kansas St.: 4
10. Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arizona, Ole Miss: 3
