USC Trojans Shine at 2026 NFL Combine: Lemon, Lane, Ramsey, Fitzgerald, and Lucas Ready to Impress
The 2026 NFL Combine is set to kick off with drills starting on Thursday, Feb. 26, featuring seven former USC Trojans. The prospects will be divided by position groups, with defensive linemen and linebackers up first on Thursday at 12 p.m. PT on NFL Network. Tight ends, cornerbacks, and safeties will follow on Friday, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs on Saturday, and offensive linemen on Sunday, all at 10 a.m. PT on NFL Network. Each position group will also have a media session the day before their workouts, giving USC fans a chance to hear from all eight Trojans at the combine.
Star wide receivers Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane are expected to showcase their skills at the NFL Combine. Lemon, a projected first-round pick, and Lane could impress with their performances. Safeties Kamari Ramsey and Bishop Fitzgerald, key players for USC's defense in 2025, will also be looking to make an impact. Ramsey, who played primarily in the nickel position due to injuries in the secondary, and Fitzgerald, who had a shortened season due to injury, are both highly regarded in the draft class. Their performances at the combine will be closely watched to see how they fare.
Defensive lineman Anthony Lucas will have the opportunity to display his athleticism and physical attributes at the combine. Lucas, known for his size and speed, will aim to excel in drills like the three-cone drill and the 40-yard dash. USC fans can follow the Trojans' progress at the NFL Combine on USC Trojans on SI for comprehensive coverage throughout the week.
