COLUMBIA, Mo. — Four Missouri products have received invitations to the 2025 NFL scouting combine, including two local players who starred for the Tigers.
Wide receivers Luther Burden III and Theo Wease Jr., quarterback Brady Cook and offensive lineman Armand Membou are among the 329 prospects invited to the combine, which takes place Feb. 24-March 3 in Indianapolis.
Burden, the East ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ star who headlined MU's offense after staying close to home as a five-star recruit, will head to the combine looking to maintain his status as a first-round talent.Â
Membou will have a chance to continue his rise up draft boards. As one of the youngest linemen available, he's a potential top 10 pick and increasingly likely to be the first Mizzou player selected in the draft.
Wease did not participate in a postseason showcase after breaking his hand in the Music City Bowl. He's returned to private workouts and will seemingly be able to participate to some degree in the combine, though it's not clear what limitations his hand might present.
