Senior Bowlâs annual Turkey Bowl Classic takes place Sunday at Hancock Whitney Stadium

The Reese’s Senior Bowl will hold its fourth annual Turkey Bowl Classic food drive on Sunday at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile.

One thousand turkeys will be distributed, along with side items, to families along the Gulf Coast beginning at 1 p.m. Members of the Senior Bowl staff, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, Feeding the Gulf Coast, Greer’s Markets, Senior Bowl Committee and Senior Bowl Ambassador Club members will assemble and distribute the meals on a first-come, first-served basis.

Inside Hancock Whitney Stadium, the Turkey Bowl Classic will include games all day involving the Senior Bowl’s NFL Flag League winners and youth tackle football teams from area parks, CYO and private school leagues. The Senior Bowl will also announce its “Future Prospect Team,” honoring high school players in Mobile and Baldwin Counties who have received FBS scholarship offers.

“The Turkey Bowl has become one of our favorite events of the year because it’s an opportunity for the Senior Bowl to give back at so many levels in the community,” Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy said. “It allows us to help families celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, we honor the great high school players from our region, and it gives so many young kids the opportunity to play in an incredible stadium where the NFL stars from our game once played. We are grateful for our partners – Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, Greer’s Markets, and Feeding the Gulf Coast.”

The 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl takes place Feb. 3 at Hancock Whitney Stadium, with kickoff at noon and live television coverage on NFL Network. For the first time, junior-eligible non-graduates are eligible to play in the annual NFL draft showcase and all-star game.
