Standouts from Day 1 of 2026 Senior Bowl

Senior Bowl Standouts from Day 1

Missouri EDGE Zion Young

Young flashed both his quickness and power on Day 1. He was controlled during one-on-ones, displaying his ability to shoot inside and win. 

With Bears GM Ryan Poles and Colts GM Chris Ballard in attendance, he may have shot up their boards.

Clemson  EDGE T.J. Parker

Parker was one of the top edge-rushers, and he proved that on Day 1. He showcased an impressive one-arm extension to power over the tackle and win the rep. Any defense with a 4-3 system or willing to utilize his versatility will give him a chance to start.

Stanford  TE Sam Roush

Roush is a physical presence at the tight-end position. He possesses a good frame and can succeed as an in-line tight end. He was able to showcase his run-blocking skill set, with good hand placement and lower-body strength, to displace and win at the point of attack. He's likely the best blocker in attendance and is a true possession receiver.

John Carroll WR Tyren Montgomery

Montgomery was able to create separation throughout the day, particularly against a top defensive back in Colton Hood. He displayed good change of direction, balance and burst off his plant foot. The athletic wide receiver is here to stay. 

Michigan  EDGE Derrick Moore

Moore was highly impressive, displaying his power and exploding through tackles. He has good explosiveness, hand usage and overall power at the point of attack to clog run gaps. He could be utilized across the entire front.
