Senior safety Darrell Stuckey returns a kickoff for 28 yards Saturday against Missouri. The Jayhawks suffered their seventh straight Big 12 loss, 41-39, to the Tigers.

Former KU football players Kerry Meier, Darrell Stuckey and Dezmon Briscoe have been invited to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine Feb. 24 through March 2.

The combine, which will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, puts players through a series of drills, tests and interviews with more than 600 NFL personnel.

Meier was an All-Big 12 Second Team selection in 2009 and ranked fourth in the NCAA with 8.50 receptions per game. He set a school record with 102 receptions.

The Associated Press named Stuckey All-Big 12 First Team. He recorded 295 tackles in his career at Kansas, second most by a defensive back in school history.

Briscoe, who left school after his junior season, ranked fifth in the NCAA in receiving yards per game (121.55) and ninth in receptions per game (7.64). In his final game at Kansas he caught 14 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns.

In 2008 four Jayhawks were selected in the NFL Draft, including first-rounder Aqib Talib. No Kansas players were selected in 2009.
