PHOENIX – The NFL announced the 329 invitees to this year’s Draft Combine, and ASU’s star running back Cam Skattebo is the lone Sun Devil invited to the event. Skattebo led ASU to the College Football Playoffs for the first time in the program’s history on the back of a season with over 1,700 rushing yards and 600 receiving yards. The program’s turnaround is directly because of the fifth-year running back, who helped ASU go from three wins to 11 wins in one season.

The NFL Draft Combine is February 27th-March 2nd and could be a huge boost for players like Skattebo, who is projected to be drafted late in 3rd round. At 5’11, Skattebo is an old-school, undersized back compared to modern backs like Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley. However, his grit and versatility make him an interesting prospect for NFL teams, which they’ll see in person at the Draft Combine.
