The Reese’s Senior Bowl annually brings players from schools all over the country to Mobile for a week of practices, meetings and evaluations, culminating in Saturday’s all-star game at Hancock Whitney Stadium.

But just nearly every major college football program is represented in the Senior Bowl, so are most of the states in the U.S., as well as a handful of foreign countries. This year’s game features players who finished high school in 35 different states, plus the District of Columbia, Canada and Australia.

But which state produced the most this year? Not surprisingly it’s Florida, which features some of the best high school football in the country.

There are 17 Floridians in this year’s Senior Bowl, a group that includes the likes running back Brashard Smith of SMU, wide receivers Arian Smith of Georgia and Xavier Restrepo of Miami, tight end Mason Taylor of LSU, defensive linemen Tim Smith of Alabama and Walter Nolen of Ole Miss and cornerbacks Mac McWilliams of UCF and Azareye’h Thomas of Florida State. (For our purposes here, being “from” a state means a player finished high school there, even though many were born in a different state or might have even begun their football careers elsewhere).

Next up are Texas (12), Georgia (10) and Louisiana (9), numbers that again mirror the caliber of high school football in those states. Alabama and Michigan are tied with six, ahead of California, Maryland, New Jersey, Utah and Virginia with five (the full list of states represented in this year’s Senior Bowl is at the bottom of this story).

The Alabamians at the Senior Bowl represent six different high schools and six different colleges: Florida linebacker Shemar James (Faith Academy), Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson (Pinson Valley), Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard (Fairhope), South Alabama wide receiver Jamaal Pritchett (Jackson), Tulane safety Caleb Ransaw (Sparkman) and Jacksonville State offensive lineman Clay Webb (Oxford). Johnson and Ransaw both began their college careers at Troy.

In fact, James alone of the Alabamians never transferred during his college career, spending all three years at Florida. Leonard transferred from Duke, while Pritchett began his career at Tuskegee and Webb at Georgia.

Alabamians in the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl

As previously noted, there are two Australians in this year’s Senior Bowl, both punters. Alabama’s James Burnip and Florida’s Jeremy Crawshaw join a long list of alum of the Pro Kick Australia program who have succeeded in American college football before going on to NFL opportunities (the Chicago Bears’ Tory Taylor, the San Francisco 49ers’ Mitch Wishnowsky and the Seattle Seahawks’ Michael Dickson are among those Australian Senior Bowl alums now punting in the league).

The Canadian is quarterback Taylor Elgersma, a native of London, Ontario. There have been many Canadians in the Senior Bowl in the past (including quarterbacks Mark Rypien and Jesse Palmer), but Elgersma is unusual in that he also played at a Canadian college — Wilfred Laurier, which in 2024 he led to the Vanier Cup as Canada’s “U Sports” national champion.

Kickoff for the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl is set for 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, with television coverage on NFL Network. A limited number of tickets remain for the game and can be purchased at seniorbowl.com/tickets.
