Florida Gators get 9 invites to NFL Combine
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, which takes place in Indianapolis from February 23-March 2, will showcase the skills of several Florida Gators. A total of nine UF players (of 319 overall) have received invites to the event. They are:
— Caleb Banks, DL: Banks, considered a likely first-round draft pick by many, recently turned heads at the Panini Senior Bowl with his performances in practice. He also recorded 1 tackle, 0.5 sacks and 0.5 tackles for loss in the game. He was injured most of the 2025 season after a breakout year in 2024.
—Austin Barber, OT: Barber was the Florida Gators’ starting left tackle the past two seasons and was All-SEC third team in 2025. He started 30 games as a Gator.
—Tommy Doman, P: In his lone year at UF after transferring from Michigan, Doman had 50 punts for a 44.04 average. He made the Pro Football Focus All-SEC team.
—George Gumbs Jr., OLB: Gumbs began his college career as a walk-on receiver at Northern Illinois, but transitioned into an edge rusher and had a solid 2025 season for UF. He finished the year with 31 tackles (14 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.
—Devin Moore, CB: Made 17 starts over the past two seasons and arguably was UF’s top corner in 2025, when he recorded 35 tackles (23 solo), 2 interceptions and four pass breakups across 646 snaps.
