On Saturday, in Mobile, Alabama, the annual Senior Bowl will take place at Hancock Whitney Stadium. Draft-eligible players across the country will compete in front of NFL scouts starting at 2:30 p.m. ET on the NFL Network (with VFL Charles Davis in a booth analyst role).
The game will feature five former Tennessee football players from this past 2025 season, as well. Defensively, defensive linemen Bryson Eason and Tyre West, and defensive backs Colton Hood and Jalen McMurray will compete. Offensively, running back Star Thomas was added to the roster on Friday. West was also a late addition, joining on Wednesday.
Here’s how each of those five players performed this season and what you need to know about them.
Five #Vols take to the field tomorrow in Mobile.
The most Vols at the @seniorbowl since 2002 and tied for 2nd most in the nation.
