SALT LAKE CITY — Star Lotulelei, who did not participate in drills at last month's NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis after a heart condition was detected by an echocardiogram, is scheduled to take part in all tests but running the 40 at Utah's pro day Tuesday.

Respresentatives from all 32 NFL teams are expected to be on hand to get a closer look at Lotulelei, who has been projected to go as high as No. 1 overall in the upcoming draft, and several of his former teammates.

The list of scheduled participants includes Boo Anderson, Sam Brenner, DeVonte Christopher, Reggie Dunn, Lorenzo Ford, Jon Hays, Dave Kruger, Joe Kruger, Ryan Lacy, Mo Lee, Miles Mason, Luke Matthews, Kendrick Moeai, Joape Pela, David Rolf, Sean Sellwood, Tevita Stevens, Reggie Topps, Lewis Walker and John White. Southern Utah quarterback Brad Sorenson is also slated to participate.
