CINCINNATI — UC is fresh off its largest NFL Draft haul in program history, and the Senior Bowl played a role in that success. The Bearcats sent seven players to the event this year, and they have eight more players on the watchlist for 2023.

QB - Ben Bryant

DL - Jowon Briggs

CB - Arquon Bush

S - Ja'von Hicks

OL - Lorenz Metz

TE - Leonard Taylor, Josh Whyle

WR - Tre Tucker

UC is t-8th among schools with the most players on the list. Only Alabama (12), LSU (11), Kentucky (10), North Carolina State (10), Florida State (9), Michigan (9), and Ole Miss (9) have more players on the list.

The Senior Bowl allows players to play if they "participate in an all-star game as either a 2018 high school graduate or true four-year player (with five or more games played in three previous seasons)."

The first week of February should be a busy week for UC's NFL prospects once again in 2023.
