At least two USC football draft hopefuls are headed to Indianapolis for the 2017 NFL Combine, with more surely to follow.
On Friday afternoon, Trojan defensive line coach Kenechi Udeze tweeted congratulations to nose tackle Stevie Tu’ikolovatu for his Combine and Senior Bowl invites.
The Utah transfer earned defensive MVP honors at the Rose Bowl, leading USC with eight tackles while controlling the line of scrimmage throughout the game.

Coming onto the scene so late in his career, Tu’ikolovatu is not rated particularly highly when it comes to draft prospects.
