AAF 2026 ALL-SENIOR BOWL TEAM
The 77th Senior Bowl resulted in the American team defeating the National team by a score of 17-9 on Saturday, January 31, 2026 at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, Alabama. LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was named Senior Bowl MVP, scoring a touchdown on the first drive of the game and finishing with 57 passing yards in a winning effort.
Other standouts included North Dakota State quarterback Cole Payton and Missouri pass-rusher Zion Young, who were named American and National Players of the Game. For Payton, the left-handed signal-caller would finish 5-of-10, for 72 passing yards, adding 22 rushing yards, while Young was a force all evening adding two tackles.
One of the more surprising performances came from Oklahoma running back Jadyn Ott, who rushed eight times for 42 yards and one score, giving NFL decision-makers extra homework upon their departure from Mobile, as he had just 68 yards rushing all season for the Sooners!
Indiana workhorse Kaelon Black led all runners with 45 yards on eight carries, while Michigan wideout Donovan McCulley showed up off the street to lead all receivers with four catches, for 50 yards. Pretty impressive after not even being at practice all week but we saw him replicate that at the American Bowl a few weeks ago.
It was a solid outing for Boston College edge prospect Quintayvious Hutchins, who finished with three tackles for loss, while Nebraska safety DeShon Singleton showed up with big hits and a acrobatic interception off Illinois quarterback Luke Altmeyer in the second quarter.
