Former Cal defensive back Hezekiah Masses was on the official invite for the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine released Wednesday by the NFL. The event is scheduled to take place Feb. 22-March 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Top front office executives, coaching staffs, player personnel departments and medical personnel from all 32 NFL teams will be on hand to evaluate the nation's top football players eligible for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.

The combine attendees will arrive staggered by position groups with Masses and the defensive backs among those due in Indianapolis on Feb. 23.
