This season is the most valuable part of our process and there is still plenty of football to be played. Our scouts will be on the road every week, tracking how these players perform and who continues to rise.”
The Senior Bowl is composed of former NFL scouts who have evaluated more than 2,000 draft eligible football prospects.
Overall, the SEC (109) had the most prospects, followed by the Big Ten with 68.
The 2026 Panini Senior Bowl will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, Alabama.
