Four Cardinals Are Invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in 2023.
The Louisville football program will be well-represented at the upcoming 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, according to the list released by the NFL. Four Cardinals – running backs Jawhar Jordan and Isaac Guerendo, wide receiver Jamar Thrash, and cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. – have received invitations to showcase their talents in front of scouts from all 32 NFL teams at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.
Despite dealing with a persistent hamstring injury in the latter part of the season, Jordan emerged as one of the top running backs in the ACC. The versatile 5-foot-9, 172-pound back accumulated 1,128 rushing yards, scored 13 touchdowns on 181 rushes, and added 246 receiving yards with a touchdown. Jordan’s outstanding performance earned him a First-Team All-ACC selection.
Guerendo stepped up in Jordan’s absence, making the most of his opportunity in the final six games of the season. The 6-foot-1, 225-pound back averaged an impressive 7.75 yards per carry, totaling 558 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. His season concluded with 810 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns, and 234 receiving yards, reaching a combined 1,044 yards from scrimmage.
Thrash, despite facing limitations due to a wrist injury in the latter part of the season, established himself as a standout receiver in the ACC. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound wideout recorded 63 receptions for 858 yards and six touchdowns, leading the team in all three categories.
Brownlee, despite a foot injury that affected him in the final games of the season, showcased his skills as one of the top cornerbacks in the ACC. In 11 games and nine starts, the 6-foot, 190-pound corner registered 30 tackles, one for loss, six pass breakups, an interception, and a fumble recovery.
The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine is scheduled from February 26 to March 4, with Brownlee participating on March 1, and Jordan, Guerendo, and Thrash taking the stage on March 2. The NFL Network will provide coverage of the combine, including various activities.
