Senior Bowl week has arrived, and the spotlight is back on Mobile as top college football talent rolls into town.
The updated 2026 rosters are out, and while a few familiar names are missing, plenty of standout players with strong Alabama ties are still set to take the field at Hancock Whitney Stadium.
This annual all-star showcase draws NFL scouts, coaches, and executives from across the league.
Practices, interviews, and the game itself turn the city into a football hub for several days, with energy building as kickoff approaches Saturday afternoon.
Three Tide Players Still in the Mix
Alabama fans will still have Crimson Tide representation to watch. Tight end Josh Cuevas and defensive linemen Tim Keenan and LT Overton remain on the roster for this year’s game.
Their presence keeps Alabama in the conversation during a week built around draft evaluation and national exposure.
Running back Jam Miller and center Parker Brailsford were on earlier versions of the roster but are no longer listed.
They join wide receiver Germie Bernard and linebackers Deontae Lawson and Justin Jefferson among Tide players who will sit out the event. Even with those changes, the program continues to have a visible footprint on the field.
Auburn Holds Steady
Auburn’s lineup for the Senior Bowl remains unchanged. Defensive end Keyron Crawford and offensive lineman Jeremiah Wright are both still scheduled to participate.
Their week in Mobile gives them a major stage to compete in front of NFL decision-makers while representing the Tigers.
For players along the offensive and defensive lines, this setting carries extra weight. One-on-one drills during practice often shape draft stock, and strong performances can create momentum heading into the spring.
In-State Connections All Over the Field
Beyond Alabama and Auburn, several players with deep ties to the state will also suit up.
South Alabama wide receiver Devin Voisin brings a local college presence to the game. Boston College defensive end Quintayvious Hutchins played high school football at Bessemer City. Louisville wide receiver Caullin Lacy has roots at Faith Academy and transferred from South Alabama.
The list continues with familiar names and hometown links. SMU defensive lineman Jeffrey M’ba transferred from Auburn.
Texas Tech defensive lineman Lee Hunter played at Blount High School and also has Auburn ties. Clemson defensive end TJ Parker came through Central-Phenix City High School.
LSU wide receiver Aaron Anderson previously played in Alabama. Ole Miss wide receiver Harrison Wallace went to Pike Road High School.
Texas A&M linebacker Scooby Williams starred at Ramsay High School, and Texas Tech linebacker Romello Height transferred from Auburn.
Practices First, Game Day Next
Senior Bowl practices run Tuesday through Thursday at Hancock Whitney Stadium, offering multiple days of up-close evaluation.
Coaches put players through drills designed to highlight skill sets, adaptability, and football IQ. Scouts crowd the sidelines, clipboards in hand, watching every rep.
The game itself kicks off at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, with national television coverage on NFL Network.
By the time the final whistle blows, many of these players will have taken meaningful steps toward the next level, all during a week that turns Mobile into one of the most important stops on the road to the NFL Draft!
