ROANOKE, Va. – The Virginia Tech football program had six guys get the call to participate in the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine--three on offense, three on defense.

To no surprise, the teams leading rusher Bhayshul Tuten will be making the trip to Indianapolis. He rushed for 1,159 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2024, ranking among the best in the ACC. He’ll be joined by wide receivers Jaylin Lane and Da’Quan Felton. The duo hauled in the most receptions for the team in 2024.

On the defensive side of the ball, Antwaun Powell-Ryland lead the team with 16 sacks, 19 tackles for loss. Being a highly projected draft pick, Powell-Ryland will look to wreak havoc in the NFL as he did on the college gridiron. Also making the trip will be defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles and defensive back Dorian Strong.

The NFL Scouting Combine will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana from February 24 through March 3.
