Mobile, Alabama – The excitement is building as the Reese’s Senior Bowl has officially announced over 120 players who have accepted invitations to participate in the upcoming 2025 all-star game. The reveal took place during a special show, where Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joined notable analysts to share the roster. For the second consecutive year, draft-eligible underclassmen will have the opportunity to participate, expanding the talent pool for this prestigious event.
Practices for the Senior Bowl are set to occur between January 28-30, at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the University of South Alabama campus. The big game will take place on February 1, and fans can catch all the action live on NFL Network and NFL+.
As the countdown continues, here are five key takeaways about the upcoming participants:
1) Big Names at Quarterback: The quarterback lineup is already generating buzz after last year’s Senior Bowl saw two players go in the first round of the NFL Draft. Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, along with other noteworthy QBs, will be looking to boost their draft stock in Mobile. Players like Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart and Ohio State’s Will Howard are also hoping for breakout performances.
2) Strong Defensive Line Group: Texas A&M boasts a solid contingent of defensive linemen, including Shemar Stewart and Nic Scourton. They will need to showcase their skills against a deeply talented crop of rivals from other colleges.
3) Wide Receivers Ready to Impress: While this year’s wide receiver class may not shine as brightly as in previous years, several players are eager to prove their worth. Athletes like Stanford’s Elic Ayomanor and TCU’s Jack Bech could emerge as key contributors at the next level.
4) Running Backs with Varied Styles: The running back class is full of intriguing options, including Kansas’ Devin Neal and Oklahoma State’s Ollie Gordon II. There is no clear standout, providing an excellent opportunity for players to differentiate themselves during practices.
5) Rising Stars to Watch: Keep an eye on some personal favorites, such as Minnesota OT Aireontae Ersery and LSU TE Mason Taylor, who are generating excitement ahead of the event.
This year’s Senior Bowl promises to showcase a wealth of talent and emerging prospects, setting the stage for the 2025 NFL Draft as teams look to make crucial decisions for their futures. With each player hoping to leave a lasting impression, fans can look forward to an event filled with competition and camaraderie.
