Three players from Northwestern and three from Illinois have been invited to the National Invitational Camp -- better known as the NFL scouting combine, which begins Feb. 24 in Indianapolis.

Notre Dame had five players get invites to the event that will draw more than 300 players from across the nation for scrutiny by general managers, coaches, scouts and most importantly medical personnel from the 32 NFL teams.
Selected to attend from Northwestern were quarterback Mike Kafka, cornerback Sherrick McManis and defensive end Corey Wootton.

Illinois will be represented by guard Jon Asamoah, wide receiver Arrelious Benn and tight end Michael Hoohamawanui.

Notre Dame's contingent features quarterback Jimmy Clausen, strong safety Kyle McCarthy, center Eric Olsen, wide receiver Golden Tate and tackle Sam Young.

Also attending will be Southern Illinois punter Scott Ravanesi and Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour of Downers Grove.
