As the 2025 college football season begins, the Panini Senior Bowl has identified 300 players from across college football that their staff of scouts has deemed ones to watch for the annual postseason all-star game.

19 of those prospects come from FBS schools outside of the Power Five or Notre Dame. A total of only 24 players come from any institution outside of the Power Five.

"Due to the uncertainty surrounding underclassmen eligibility, the Senior Bowl remains cautious in their inclusion—only featuring those whom our scouting department believes are highly likely to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft following a successful regular season," the game's organizers said in a statement.

The 2026 Senior Bowl is scheduled for Saturday, January 31 2026 at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the campus of the University of South Alabama.
