Gordon, Martin, Oliver Invited to NFL Combine

There is plenty of reason for Oklahoma State fans to watch the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, as three Cowboys have been invited to take part in the festivities.

Ollie Gordon, Nick Martin and Collin Oliver are three of the 329 prospects that were invited (you can view the full list here).

Gordon is one of 31 running backs to receive an invite. Tahj Brooks (Texas Tech), DJ Giddens (Kansas State), RJ Harvey (UCF), Corey Kiner (Cincinnati) Devin Neal (Kansas) and Cam Skattebo (Arizona State) are other Big 12 backs on the invite list.

The 2023 Doak Walker winner, Gordon ran for 2,920 yards and 36 touchdowns in three seasons at Oklahoma State. He was a consensus All-American in 2023, a year in which he led the nation in rushing with 1,732 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Martin and Oliver are listed at linebackers on the NFL’s release. Oliver jumped between defensive end and linebacker in college. They’re two of 29 linebacker who received invites. Utah’s Karene Reid is the only other Big 12 linebacker to be invited.

Oliver burst onto the scene as a freshman in Oklahoma State’s Fiesta Bowl-winning 2021 season, a year in which he recorded 11.5 sacks fresh out of Edmond Santa Fe High School. He was unanimously voted the Big 12’s Defensive Freshman of the Year. He finished his career with 23.5 sacks and was on pace to push for Leslie O’Neal’s program sack record (34) before Oliver suffered a season-ending injury just two games into the 2024 season.

Martin’s breakout year came in 2023, his first as a starter. Martin made 140 tackles that season. That’s the most tackles any Cowboy has had in a season since 1984. His OSU career ended with 203 total tackles, 24 tackles for loss, seven sacks and two interceptions.

All three of these guys, along with safety Trey Rucker, represented Oklahoma State at the Senior Bowl. Gordon’s size drew headlines (6-foot-1, 233 pounds), as did the fact that he threw a 32-yard touchdown pass in the game.

The NFL Combine takes place in Indianapolis from Feb. 24 through March 3. Coverage of the event will be on the NFL Network.
