Travis Homer’s stock is on the rise.
The former Miami Hurricanes running back, one of Miami’s few early entrants into the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft, is in Indianapolis this week for the NFL Scouting Combine and impressing scouts with his on-field performance.
Running backs took the field Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium, and Homer found himself near the top of the list in several physical testing categories. He started off strong when he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds, placing fifth among halfbacks. He then posted the second-best vertical leap at his position, jumping 39 1/2 inches, and his 130-inch broad jump placed him in a tie for first among running backs.
