After a successful run in Champaign, three Illini will likely be heading to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine.
The NFL announced Wednesday that QB Luke Altmyer, OLB Gabe Jacas, and OL JC Davis were invited to this month’s combine in Indianapolis.
Altmyer led Illinois to 19 wins since the start of the 2024 season and is one of the program’s best gunslingers in history. Fifteen QBs were invited to the combine.
Jacas finished with 27 career sacks, the second-most in program history.
Davis was named First Team All-Big Ten for his performance in 2025.
With all three being invited to the combine, expect all three to hear their names called in April’s NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
