Blair Brown and Tarell Basham received an official invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday afternoon.
The two will attend the Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, which will take place from Feb. 28 through March 6.
Basham, a defensive end, is the all-time Ohio sack leader with 27. He finished his senior season with 49 tackles and nine sacks, the latter of which led the Mid-American Conference. His 27 sacks also rank fourth in the MAC all-time. Basham is 6-foot-4, 259 pounds.
Brown, a linebacker, finished his senior year as Ohio's leading tackler, where he set career highs in every defensive category. Brown finished the season with 128 tackles, including 71 solo. He had 4.5 sacks. Brown is 5-foot-11, 234 pounds.
Brown was selected to the Pro Football Focus 2016 All-American team at linebacker along with Reuben Foster of Alabama and Stacy Thomas of Louisville. Foster is expected to be a top 10 pick in this year's draft, Thomas returned to Louisville for his senior season.
Both Brown and Basham are the first Ohio players to be invited to the combine since 2014 when safety T.J. Carrie was invited. Carrie was drafted in the 7th round, 219th overall, by the Oakland Raiders.
Of the 330 players invited, 11 were from the MAC. Western Michigan had two players invited while Toledo led the conference with three.
Basham is projected to be a second-round draft pick by CBSSports.com, while Brown is projected to go undrafted.
