The college football All-Star circuit is underway, and the all-important Senior Bowl week is underway, and some prospects are making a case for themselves before hearing their names called in April at the 2026 NFL Draft.
With general manager Mike Borgonzi in Nashville for Robert Saleh’s introductory press conference, the scouting department is busy evaluating the prospects in this game who could find their way to Nashville this offseason. With the Tennessee Titans having needs across the board, they will likely be turning every rock to find talent, and there are some prospects here that could interest them.

Here are seven defenders from the 2026 Senior Bowl to keep an eye on.
Clemson Edge T.J. Parker
Parker is a solid edge prospect and could boost his stock with a big week in Mobile. Projected as a potential top 10 pick prior to the season, he has fallen behind some other prospects heading into the pre-draft process, but he is a dynamic and physical edge that has made an impact throughout his career at Clemson.
Tennessee CB Colton Hood
Hood might not be the top cornerback in the class, but he is a dynamic cornerback who could fall into the Titans’ lap early on Day 2 of the draft. Versatile enough to play in multiple systems, he has the ability to come in and develop into a quality starter.

Texas Tech Edge Romello Height
While his teammate David Bailey gets all of the hype and could be the Titans’ selection fourth-overall, Height had a solid season across from him. He is an older prospect who may have benefited from Bailey’s production, but he has some solid tape. This week in Mobile will be a great chance for him to improve his stock and solidify his draft slot.
Missouri Edge Zion Young
Young is another edge prospect who could fit the Titans’ current edge profile. At 6-foot-5, 262 pounds, he isn’t the most explosive edge in this class, but he is dominant at the point of attack, and a run-stuffing force on the edge, and plays with a non-stop motor. He may not be a franchise-altering prospect, but he is a powerful player with a starting-caliber floor and the ability to make an impact.

Penn State Edge Dani Dennis-Sutton
The Titans will definitely be zeroing in on edge prospects, and Dennis-Sutton is an imposing 6-foot-5 presence off the edge. While he did not live up to expectations in 2025, he has the size and physical tools teams look for at the position, and could boost his stock with a solid week in Mobile.
San Diego State CB Chris Johnson
Johnson may not be the flashiest prospect at the Senior Bowl, but he has shown the traits and versatility to play at the NFL level and be a core piece for a defense. Versatile enough to play in multiple systems, he might be the type of cornerback the Titans need to totally implement their new system. Plus, with significant questions at cornerback heading into the offseason, there is no doubt they will add multiple players, and Johnson could fit.

Ohio State DB Davison Igbinosun
There may be some questions about Igbinosun’s fit at the NFL level, but he is a playmaker. A cornerback in college, coaches will have to determine his eventual position in the league, but at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, he has the versatility to play multiple positions for a defense and proved to be stout in coverage and against the run in 2025. With Tennessee needing upgrades in the secondary, he could be on their radar.
