Twenty-five former Georgia high school football players have been invited to the NFL scouting combine to be held Tuesday through Monday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Georgia’s representation is tied for third-most with California and trails Florida (51) and Texas (31), according to NFL.com. Ohio is next with 20. There are 338 invitees overall.

Today, we’ll take a look at Temple defensive back Rock Ya-Sin:

Rock Ya-Sin, 6-2, 190 Temple, Southwest DeKalb. Started his career at Presbyterian. When the school stopped being a scholarship program, Ya-Sin was looking for a college and Temple coach Geoff Collins signed him after Presbyterian's running backs coach Mitch Hall, who played under Collins at Western Carolina, got him to look at Ya-Sin's tape. He was awarded a coveted single-digit jersey in the summer. Temple awards single-digits to the nine toughest players on the team. He finished 12 passes breakups. He recorded a career-high 10 tackles against Tulsa and had an interception make the top play on SportsCenter.
