Sanders reposted a tweet from Wester reflecting on his journey:

“Been working and praying. It’s always on God’s timing, never on yours… #TheOne.”

The official NFL Scouting Combine message read:

“Congratulations on being invited to participate in the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine! The Combine is an opportunity for you to show off your skills while interacting with NFL team personnel as they evaluate you in advance of the 2025 NFL Draft.”

Wester recorded 74 receptions for 931 yards and 10 touchdowns this past season.

Along with Will Sheppard and Jimmy Horn Jr, Wester underwent NFL pre-draft training in Florida.

In a November video, Wester said his game film from FAU and Colorado proves he’s a first-to-third-round talent in the NFL Draft.

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is set to take place from Feb. 27 to Mar. 2 in Indianapolis, where top prospects will compete to leave a lasting impression on NFL scouts and executives.

LaJohntay Wester is a rising prospect to watch

In January 2024, Shedeur Sanders expressed his desire to see LaJohntay Wester in Boulder, and days later, the talented FAU wide receiver transferred to Colorado. Wester became the Buffaloes' 20th transfer and the fourth wideout to join the team during this period, bolstering an already elite receiver corps led by future Heisman winner Travis Hunter and returning star Jimmy Horn Jr.

After the season wrapped up, Wester received an NFL Combine invite. Through two East-West Shrine Bowl practices, he emerged as one of the top four performers. His sharp route running and ability to separate have made Wester a rising prospect to watch.
