Jordan Clark couldn't have done much more for Notre Dame's stellar defense in 2024, but he didn't get an NFL Combine invitation.

The Notre Dame football team has several players hoping to make the NFL, and this week eight of them were selected to participate in the upcoming NFL Combine. The list of eight names includes three players on offense and five players on defense: The annual combine will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis from Feb.

It feels like just a few days ago Notre Dame was playing in the National Championship down in Atlanta, Georgia. Fact of the matter, that game was almost a month ago and it's not 14 days until the NFL combine down in Indianapolis.

There will be a Pro Day as well, but before that, more than a few Notre Dame stars will be the chance to impress NFL front offices in Indianapolis for the annual combine. The full list of players participating was released on Thursday, with a total of eight member for the Irish team getting a chance to workout in front of scouts.

Notre Dame had a magical 2024 season that ended with the Irish setting a program record for wins (14). The Irish earned a berth in the first-ever 12-team playoff and won three games on their way to the national championship game. Notre Dame fell short of a title, but it was a brilliant season for the program.
