Offensive duo named as two of the best draft-eligible players in College Football
MOBILE, Ala. – Earning recognition among the best veteran players prior to the 2026 season, Jaden Craig and Ben Taylor-Whitfield have been named to the 2027 Senior Bowl Top 300 List, the organization announced on Thursday.
Selection to the Senior Bowl Top 300 is a notable accomplishment and an indication that these prospects possess the talent and potential to play at the NFL level.
A transfer from Harvard, Craig left the Crimson as one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in program history, finishing his career with multiple records. The 2025 Walter Payton Award Finalist looks to continue his success as the TCU signal caller this season.
Taylor-Whitfield has developed into a dependable and versatile offensive lineman in his three seasons at TCU. Last year, he started all 13 games at the tackle position, playing 891 offensive snaps while being a critical piece of an offense that rushed for at least 100 yards in nine games.
The Senior Bowl scouting staff will continue to watch every school and every conference throughout the season, and players outside of the Top 300 will have every opportunity to elevate their draft stock. Not being included on the Senior Bowl Top 300 list does not mean a player will not receive a Senior Bowl invitation, just as being included on the list does not guarantee an invitation. Senior Bowl invitations are earned through continued evaluation and performance throughout the season.
