Baker, Grable Invited to 2024 NFL Scouting Combine

UCF’s Javon Baker and Tylan Grable have been invited to attend the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, the NFL announced Tuesday. Also known as the NFL Draft Combine, the NFL Scouting Combine will take place in Indianapolis from Feb. 26 through March 4.

Live coverage of the combine will be available on NFL Network and NFL+ starting Feb. 29.

Baker was named a First Team All-Big 12 selection after leading the conference in receiving yards (1,139) in 2023, yards per reception (21.9) and receiving yards per game (87.6). The Atlanta native’s 21.9 yards per catch mark also ranked second nationally.

Baker also had the longest reception in the Big 12 last season, an 86-yard touchdown against then-No. 6 Oklahoma. He reeled in 52 passes with seven touchdowns to tie for fifth in the conference.

He surpassed 100 receiving yards in five games during the 2023 season, headlined by a career-high 173 yards against Georgia Tech in the Gasparilla Bowl.

Grable started all 13 games last season at left tackle, helping UCF compile the nation’s fourth-ranked rushing offense (228.2) and the nation's eighth-ranked total offense (487.0). He was tabbed an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection by the league’s coaches and participated in the East-West Shrine Bowl.

With Grable leading the offensive line, the unit was one of 23 listed on the midseason honor roll for the Joe Moore Award, presented annually to the most outstanding offensive line in college football.
