Several FCS standouts are invited to the 2025 Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Bowl, the two top-tier all-star games for NFL Draft prospects.
The Shrine Bowl game is Jan. 30 and the Senior Bowl is Feb. 1, although the practices leading up to the game are the most valuable for prospects to show off for scouts.
Players who played multiple years in the FCS and their final year in the FBS will be included. Those who played multiple years in the FBS to end their college careers won’t be included.
