NEW YORK -- Nine TCU football players have been invited to the 2023 NFL Combine to be held Feb. 28 to March 6 in Indianapolis.

Offensive linemen Alan Ali and Steve Avila, wide receivers Derius Davis and Quentin Johnston, quarterback Max Duggan, defensive back Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, defensive lineman Dylan Horton, running back Kendre Miller and linebacker Dee Winters will represent TCU.

The Horned Frogs' nine invitations top the Big 12 Conference and tie for third-most nationally.

TCU became the first program from the state of Texas to reach the College Football Playoff. With their victory over Michigan in the CFP Semifinal at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, the Horned Frogs were the first Big 12 member to play in the CFP National Championship.
