The second annual Big 12 Pro Day runs from March 18-21. NFL Network will have coverage of Big 12 Pro Day on Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Despite McMillan likely not having an official 40-yard dash time leading up to the NFL Draft, the projected Top 10 pick has the option to hold private workouts for NFL scouts. McMillan has met with several NFL teams, including the New England Patriots, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders, he revealed during the NFL Scouting Combine.

Former Arizona kicker Tyler Loop also isn't expected to kick at Big 12 Pro Day after an impressive showing at the NFL Scouting Combine, making 13 of 14 field goals, including a 60-yarder. 

No McMillan or Loop in Dallas this week, but eight NFL hopefuls will represent Arizona at Big 12 Pro Day, including a potential first-rounder. Here's who they are:

Joey Capra

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýOffensive line

Height, weight: 6-4, 301 pounds

What they did at Arizona: Capra joined Arizona less than three weeks before the season opener. With his name in the transfer portal, Capra was training to become an EMT in California before he got the phone call from Arizona to join the team. 

Right tackle Jonah Savaiinaea moved to left tackle following the season-ending injury to Rhino Tapa'atoutai and after other replacements struggled to protect quarterback Noah Fifita's blindside, Savaiinaea went to left tackle and Capra took over right tackle duties even though he was initially added to play guard.

Capra allowed five sacks and 14 quarterback pressures in five games, according to Pro Football Focus.

Draft projection: Undrafted

Quali Conley

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýRunning back

Height, weight: 5-10, 209 pounds

What they did at Arizona: With Jacory Croskey-Merritt sidelined for eligibility concerns and Rayshon "Speedy" Luke opting to redshirt after four games, Conley became Arizona's bell-cow running back and had 145 rushes for 745 yards and eight touchdowns, with redshirt freshman Kedrick Reescano as the Wildcats' second-leading rusher.

Conley had fumbles in back-to-back losses against West Virginia and UCF, but bounced back with 107 yards and a touchdown against Houston. Conley also had 39 catches for 245 receiving yards and a touchdown in 2024.

Draft projection: Undrafted

Jacory Croskey-Merritt

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýRunning back

Height, weight: 5-10, 208 pounds

What they did at Arizona: After rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown against New Mexico in August, Croskey-Merritt missed the remainder of the season after “a concern was raised about his eligibility,� said Arizona head coach Brent Brennan. 

Croskey-Merritt’s first collegiate season at Alabama State was in 2019. Croskey-Merritt played in 31 games over four seasons at Alabama State and rushed for 1,164 yards and 13 touchdowns, before transferring to New Mexico for a season.

In his only season at New Mexico, Croskey-Merritt rushed for 1,190 yards — which ranked 23rd in college football — and 17 touchdowns. Croskey-Merritt averaged 6.3 yards per carry in 2023. Croskey-Merritt’s 17 rushing touchdowns at UNM ranked fifth nationally; he finished with 18 total touchdowns.

With plans to finish the spring semester at New Mexico, Croskey-Merritt didn’t join Arizona in the spring and briefly flipped his commitment from Arizona to Ole Miss, before re-committing to the UA.

After Croskey-Merritt re-joined Arizona in June, he told the Star, “there were a lot of confusing things going on,� when asked about his eligibility being in question.

“I can’t really say what was happening but there were a lot of people talking that I didn’t know about," Croskey-Merritt said then. "It was a lot of stuff. I don’t really want to get into the details but people blow things up that shouldn’t have been blown up.�

After his senior season, Croskey-Merritt played in the East-West Shrine Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and was named Offensive MVP for his 97-yard and two-touchdown performance on just 11 carries. Croskey-Merritt could become the first Wildcats running back taken in the NFL Draft since Gary Brightwell in 2021.

Draft projection: Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) or undrafted

Owen Goss

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýDefensive back

Height, weight: 6-0, 202 pounds

What they did at Arizona: The Colgate transfer started the season as a special teams superstar, but injuries in Arizona's defensive secondary carved out playing time for the Chicago-area native. Goss had 53 tackles, two pass deflections and a career-high three forced fumbles last season. 

Draft projection: Undrafted

Justin Holloway

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýLong snapper

Height, weight: 6-3, 221 pounds

What they did at Arizona: Holloway was Arizona's primary long snapper for the 2024 season after transferring from Ohio. He had one tackle on punt coverage. 

Draft projection: Undrafted

Montana Lemonious-Craig

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýWide receiver

Height, weight: 6-2, 194 pounds

What they did at Arizona: The two-year starter had 45 receptions for 468 yards and four touchdowns in 24 games. Lemonious-Craig's production tapered off in his final season as Chris Hunter III ascended into a more prominent role in Arizona's offense. 

Draft projection: Undrafted

Jonah Savaiinaea

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýOffensive lineman

Height, weight: 6-4, 324 pounds

What they did at Arizona: Savaiinaea played three positions on Arizona’s offensive line between 2022 and ‘24. In three seasons at Arizona, Savaiinaea played 2,418 snaps — including 1,057 at right tackle, 985 at right guard and 345 at left tackle, according to Pro Football Focus. Savaiinaea allowed eight sacks and five quarterback hits in three seasons, per PFF.

Savaiinaea took over at left tackle in 2024 once redshirt freshman Rhino Tapa’atoutai suffered a season-ending leg injury, but missed Savaiinaea missed the season finale against ASU due to a leg injury; he played the previous 36 games.

Savaiinaea, who is projected to play guard in the NFL, unofficially recorded the third-fastest 40-yard dash time (4.95 seconds) at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Savaiinaea finished behind Georgia center Jared Wilson (4.84) and Missouri tackle Armand Membou (4.91) for the 40-yard dash. Savaiinaea tied for the second-best 10-yard split time at 1.72 seconds.

Savaiinaea was one of five offensive linemen to record a sub-five-second 40-yard dash this year. He didn't do bench press. 

Savaiinaea has met with 17 teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns and the Las Vegas Raiders, which hired former UA offensive line coach Brennan Carroll, who recruited Savaiinaea to Arizona.

If Savaiinaea is drafted in the first round, with McMillan most likely landing before him, it will mark the first time Arizona has two first-round picks in the same draft since linebacker Chris Singleton (New England Patriots) and defensive end Anthony Smith (Oakland Raiders) in 1990.

Draft projection: Late first round or Day 2 (Rounds 2-3)

Jared Small

±Ê´Ç²õ¾±³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:ÌýLinebacker

Height, weight: 6-0, 220 pounds

What they did at Arizona: The eighth-year Small joined Arizona after stints at LSU and Tulane. As a special teams contributor and backup linebacker, Small had three tackles in 2024. 

Draft projection: Undrafted
