The list of players heading to the NFL combine was released today and former Yale quarterback Patrick Witt was the only Ivy League player on the list.

That Witt is heading to Indianapolis later this month is not breaking news as I reported this the day that I spoke to his agent late last month but now that the official list was out, I thought it was worth mentioning.

Witt is one of 19 quarterback on the list and I can't recall the last Yale player to attend the NFL combine. He will be in Indianapolis from Feb. 23-26, with the final day the one where he works out for the scouts. UConn will be well represented with receiver Kashif Moore, defensive lineman Kendall Reyes and kicker Dave Teggart are also expected to take part in the combine.

DORRELL HIRED BY TEXANS
Karl Dorrell, whose name emerged as a potential candidate late in the search for Yale's new football coach, has been hired as the quarterbacks coach with the Houston Texans.
