2027 SENIOR BOWL TOP 300 LIST

MOBILE, ALA. – The Senior Bowl today announced its annual Top 300 list. The Senior Bowl scouting department has been hard at work since last February, evaluating over 2,000 prospects from all levels of college football. The Senior Bowl Top 300 is more than a preseason list, it is notable accomplishment and reflects the belief that these prospects have the talent and potential to rank among the best players in the country.

The Senior Bowl Top 300 list is the beginning of the evaluation process. Our scouting staff will continue to watch every school and every conference throughout the season, and players outside of the Top 300 will have every opportunity to elevate their draft stock. Not being included on the Senior Bowl Top 300 list does not mean a player will not receive a Senior Bowl invitation, just as being included on the list does not guarantee an invitation. Senior Bowl invitations are earned through continued evaluation and performance throughout the season.

“We’ve challenged our staff to identify the 300 best draft-eligible players in the country, and this list represents the prospects we believe have separated themselves to this point in the evaluation process,” says Senior Bowl Executive Director Drew Fabianich. “There is a tremendous amount of talent among this year’s class, and earning a spot in our Top 300 is a reflection of the work these players have put on tape. This season is critical as we continue to evaluate these players. Our scouts will be on the road every week, and we expect this list to evolve as the season unfolds.”
