Senior Bowl reveals the 2025 watch list of prospects

College football is quickly approaching. There’s no surer sign that the CFB season is kicking off than the preseason watch lists.

One of the biggest ones from an NFL draft standpoint is the Senior Bowl’s list. Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy and his staff of scouts released their initial watch list for the 2025 NFL Draft.

This year’s preseason list includes 859 college players, up from 720 ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. A lot of that is attributable to the inclusion of underclassmen who will meet the Senior Bowl eligibility requirements.

Typically, the Senior Bowl winds up with about 110 players at the annual event in Mobile, Alabama. The 2025 game will take place on Saturday, February 1, at the home of the Univesity of South Alabama
