Members of last year’s BYU football team will take part in the inaugural Big 12 Pro Day.

It’s a one-of-a-kind event in college athletics. The Big 12 is the first league to create a conference-wide Pro Day model in preparation for next month’s NFL draft.

Both players participated in the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Slovis put together the fastest 40-time among QBs in the 2024 class. Suamataia has consistently garnered buzz as a Day 2 draft prospect.
Punter Ryan Rehkow participated in drills at the Combine. He will also take part in the Big 12 Pro Day.
