The 2025 Senior Bowl will conclude on Saturday with its annual game. The national and American teams held three padded practices each on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Competitive intensity reached an all-time high in Mobile, with various talents in attendance taking advantage of their opportunities.
Several prospects will opt out of Saturday's game, either due to nagging injuries or choosing to stand comfortable on the body of work they've already submitted. However, dozens of playmakers will strap on their shoulder pads, opting to continue attempting to increase their 2025 NFL Draft stock. We've identified five talents in particular with an opportunity to attach a jetpack to their standing with NFL evaluators.
Miles Frazier, OL, LSU
LSU blocker Miles Frazier displayed terrific versatility in practice. Playing both guard and tackle, Frazier showcased his multi-position usefulness to terrific success in front of scouts and coaches. The LSU blocker performed like a capable starter on day one.
Frazier wasn’t credited with allowing a single sack in 544 pass protection snaps this past campaign. That same consistency was on display in Mobile. Frazier can continue elevating himself with a similar performance on Saturday.
RJ Oben, EDGE, Notre Dame
Notre Dame EDGE RJ Oben was physical and explosive during team periods and one-on-one drills. Oben possesses the required length, hand technique, and separation ability to be a nuisance as a pass rusher. He was totally relentless when pursuing quarterbacks.
Oben recorded just one sack this past season, but his practice tape in Mobile proves there's untapped potential. A versatile lineman, Oben plays with terrific extension and bend. He'll continue adding to an incomplete pre-draft resume at the Senior Bowl game.
Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
Like all prospects, Kyle Williams had good and bad reps during practice. The Washington State standout was among the most consistent receivers on the second day. Deceptive quickness and nuanced route running made Williams a difficult cover occasionally.
Williams enjoyed a massive 2024 campaign, accumulating 1,198 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. There are a ton of pass-catching prospects jockeying for top-100 positioning. A couple of notable in-game reps would continue enhancing Williams' reputation with pro decision-makers.
Jackson Slater, IOL, Sacramento State
Sacramento State offensive lineman Jackson Slater entered the Senior Bowl with as much to prove as any attending prospect. Not only was he representing the FCS, but Slater, who mostly played guard in college, was also hellbent on playing center at a high level. He passed every scout's test with top-of-the-class results.
Slater possesses lightning-quick feet and well-developed hands (timing and placement) for a small-school prospect. The middle rounds of this interior offensive line class possess question marks. Slater has worked himself into the top-100 conversation.
Mac McWilliams, CB, UCF
Mac McWilliams was as sticky and physical as any corner through practice. On the final padded day, which included red-zone periods and a little less intensity, McWilliams remained fiercely competitive. Evaluators noted his ability to maintain the correct energy levels.
McWilliams utilized smooth footwork and natural instincts to remain in phase with his assignments in one-on-ones. He never panicked, leaning on his experience to see him through. With just one career interception, a takeaway in Saturday's game would further answer questions scouts have about his resume.
