TCU WR Jack Bech
The 22-year-old wide receiver has become one of the Senior Bowl’s hottest commodities this year as he just can’t stop making plays as he proves remarkable resilience. While navigating an unimaginable tragedy–the loss of his brother during the New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans–Bech has shown nothing but composure and maturity off the field. His handling of questions, some less than tactful, about the events has been nothing short of impressive and respectful.
Meanwhile, from the football perspective, he’s impressed with his physical playstyle and versatile skill set. The all-around weapon is a converted tight end now playing wide receiver. He brings prowess as a blocker and has won over and over again whether downfield on the boundary or in the middle of the field.
The 6-foot-1, 214-pound wideout reeled in 62 receptions his final year at TCU for 1,034 receiving yards and nine touchdowns catches. His skills would complement returning wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed by providing another physical presence to do the dirty work while they focus on stretching the field.

Toledo DT Darius Alexander
As versatile as can be found on the defensive line, the 6-foot-3, 304-pound interior defender can line up anywhere from one-tech over the A-gap to defensive end. He can win with power and finesse.
During the Thursday practice, the coaching staff was clearly trying to challenge Alexander. They lined the big man up across just about every technique possible on the line including as a stand-up edge rusher outside the offensive tackle only for him to blow by the protection and close in quickly on the quarterback. If the staff was indeed testing Alexander here, he passed with flying colors.
His Leonard Williams-like versatility is likely to help him raise his stock. Alexander has a lot of momentum going his way with the attention he’s drawn in Mobile.
Darius Alexander is a mutant. This is absolutely silly from a 300 pounder. Standing up as a wide 9 edge rusher, you should not look this fluid.pic.twitter.com/R7pWTeEikc https://t.co/3TS98pawuT

Auburn RB Jarquez Hunter
Hunter compared his game to that of Green Bay Packers rusher Josh Jacobs during the Senior Bowl’s media event. At 5-foot-9 and 212 pounds, he comes in a little below Jacobs on measurables, but his all-around game and play style warrant the comparison.
Hunter is an explosive, one-cut back that can get downfield in a hurry. His receiving ability wasn’t tapped into that much in Auburn (21 receptions), but he has shown reliable hands and a comfort with the backfield route tree over the three practice days. He has shined as a willing pass protector as well.
The back gained 1,201 rushing yards in the SEC last year on just 187 carries. His 6.4 rushing yards per attempt led the conference in 2024.
