Moore and King both already accepted invites to the Reese's Senior Bowl. King participated and Moore did not.

The combine invitees were some of the biggest impact players this year for South Carolina with Hurst setting the career receptions record for a tight end and Moore becoming one of only 15 players ever to lead his team in tackles four seasons.
