Florida had nine players take part in the NFL Combine, tied for the eighth most among all college programs. The four-day event in Indianapolis put potential draft prospects through the standard array of drills with hopes of impressing NFL scouts.
With that in mind, this is which Gators helped themselves and who hurt themselves with their performance at the NFL Combine.
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks came into the NFL Combine as a potential 1st round draft pick, and it is hard to think his stock is going to change after this weekend. Banks had measurements that scouts will drool over, including a massive wingspan, and his performance in all the drills answered any fears one may have about the foot injury that limited his 2025 season.
George Gumbs
Most mock drafts have George Gumbs going undrafted, as there are just a couple of mocks that have Gumbs getting selected at all. But one would have to think Gumbs is going to start to get some looks after his day in Indianapolis, which included a Combine best 41-inch vertical leap.
Tyreak Sapp
If you rewind to before the start of the season, Tyreak Sapp was viewed as a potential 1st round pick as recently as June. That projection has long since fallen off, and there isn’t a single mock draft floating around that has him getting selected. Hard to say whether or not he helped himself, as the only event he participated in was bench press, where he did rep 225 pounds 28 times. He did do on-field drills and had an impressive one-handed catch during this segment.
Devin Moore
He is viewed as a potential mid-round pick, but Devin Moore didn’t have a great weekend at the NFL Combine. He only ran the 40-yard dash and placed 17th out of 20 cornerbacks who participated. Moore later explained he is still recovering from offseason surgery.
J. Michael Sturdivant
While he has popped up at the tail end of a couple of mock drafts, J. Michael Studivant was going to need a big weekend to get the attention of NFL GMs. He did fine enough, running a 4.40 40-yard dash, and he was in the upper half for the vertical jump. His lack of actual on-the-field production through his entire career will linger over his head, but his marks might be enough for someone to take a 6th or 7th round flyer on him.
Austin Barber
Austin Barber is another player who was getting first-round consideration in mock drafts prior to the season and has seen that cool off. His 40-yard dash and vertical jump were middle of the pack, so he should still get a look from someone.
Jake Slaughter
Like Barber, things like the 40-yard dash are not always the best measurement for an offensive lineman, but there are base marks one needs to hit to hold their spot. Of the centers at the Combine, Slaughter’s marks were as good as any, so he should be good as a second or third round pick.
Trey Smack
By all accounts, Trey Smack showcased the power in his leg and should be on the radar for anyone looking for a kicker in 2026.
Rocco Underwood
Florida’s long snapper probably won’t get drafted, but someone will grab him as a UDFA, and his fate will be decided in training camp.
