NEW YORK, N.Y. (NFL/SMU) – SMU defensive lineman Jared Harrison-Hunte, defensive end Elijah Roberts and running back Brashard Smith have been invited to the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, the league announced on Thursday in a release naming the full list of participants.
 
The combine will take place in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium from February 24 through March 3. Live coverage can be found beginning on February 27 on NFL Network and NFL+.
 
The 2024 campaign, his only at SMU, was the most successful for Harrison-Hunte. He tallied a career-high 42 tackles during his senior season, along with 8.5 TFLs and 6.5 sacks. For his success during the season, he earned All-ACC First Team accolades, along with also being tabbed to the AP All-ACC Second Team and DCTF First Team All-Texas squad.
 
Roberts spent two seasons on the Hilltop and started in 27 total games. During the 2024 campaign, he received a 91.2 grade by PFF, which ranked tied for second highest for all edge defenders in the FBS. Through his two seasons, he recorded 72 tackles, 23.5 TFLs, 17.5 sacks, forced four fumbles and recovered one. The Miami native is a two-time all-conference selection and was an All American in 2023.
 
Roberts and Harrison-Hunte both were teammates again during the East-West Shrine Bowl, giving the pair another opportunity to showcase their talents prior to the NFL Draft. Roberts' success at the Shrine Bowl led to ESPN's NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. referring to him as "unblockable".  
 
In his lone season at SMU, Smith made his presence felt by setting the single-season program record for all-purpose yards with 1,977, along with averaging 141.21 all-purpose yards per game, good for eighth in the FBS. The Richmond Heights, Florida, native also ran for a team-high 1,332 yards, the fourth most in school history and second in the ACC for 2024.
 
Smith's success during the season led to multiple accolades, including being added to the All-ACC First Team by the conference and AP, DCTF First Team All-Texas squad and earning All-American accolades by four major publications. He also competed in the 2025 Reese's Senior Bowl to help strengthen his NFL draft stock.
