#USCtotheNFL: Six Trojan Draft Prospects Showcase At USC Football's Pro Day
LOS ANGELES — Six NFL draft prospects from USC — safety Talanoa Hufanga, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, defensive linemen Jay Tufele and Marlon Tuipulotu, wide receiver Tyler Vaughns and offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker — showcased their skills and measurements at the Trojans' Pro Day on campus Wednesday morning.
All six prospects — plus cornerback Olaijah Griffin — were invited to the 2021 NFL Scouting Combine. With this year's NFL Combine format being mostly virtual, all physical measurements and workouts are taking place during each school's Pro Day.
Three former Trojans who graduated after the 2019 season — linebacker John Houston Jr., receiver/cornerback Dominic Davis and wide receiver Matthew Hocum — also participated in USC's Pro Day.
Scouts representing all 32 NFL teams attended USC's Pro Day. NFL Network aired the workouts live in a two-hour broadcast.
Quarterback Kedon Slovis, who returns next season for his junior campaign, assisted at Pro Day by throwing passes in the receiving drills.
The 2021 NFL Draft takes place from April 29 - May 1 in Cleveland.
