The NFL scouting combine is right around the corner, as draft hopefuls will descend on Indianapolis from Feb. 22-28.

The official combine invitation list is out, and 45 Big Ten players are on it.

Who's heading to Indianapolis? Here's the rundown:

School, Position, Player	School, Position, Player
Ohio State OT Mike Adams	Illinois OT Jeff Allen
Michigan State RB Edwin Baker*	Ohio State C Mike Brewster
Michigan State QB Kirk Cousins	Penn State DE Jack Crawford
Nebraska DT Jared Crick	Michigan State WR B.J. Cunningham
Iowa DT Mike Daniels	Nebraska LB Lavonte David
Nebraska CB Alfonzo Dennard	Illinois K Derek Dimke
Northwestern TE Drake Dunsmore	Wisconsin FB Bradie Ewing
Wisconsin CB Antonio Fenelus	Iowa G Adam Gettis
Michigan WR Junior Hemingway	Ohio State RB Dan Herron
Illinois WR A.J. Jenkins	Nebraska OT Marcel Jones

Wisconsin WR Nick Toon	Penn State G Johnnie Troutman
Purdue K Carson Wiggs	Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson
Michigan State DT Jerel Worthy*	Wisconsin G Kevin Zeitler
Iowa OT Markus Zusevics
* — underclassman

Any snubs? I'm a bit surprised not to see Michigan TE Kevin Koger, Michigan State TE Brian Linthicum, Northwestern QB Dan Persa, Minnesota WR Da'Jon McKnight, Wisconsin S Aaron Henry and Penn State S Nick Sukay.

Here's the breakdown by team:

Wisconsin: 8 Penn State: 7
