So far, five Hokies will be playing in the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl.
On Sunday, the Reese’s Senior Bowl announced that Virginia Tech running back Bhayshul Tuten would take part in the 2025 event. The Senior Bowl is the NFL draft’s premier showcase for draft-eligible athletes, with all 32 clubs represented in Mobile, Alabama, for a week in January.
Tuten isn’t heading from Blacksburg to Mobile alone.
Virginia Tech’s official X account confirmed that five Hokies, including Tuten, would attend the Senior Bowl.
- RB Bhayshul Tuten
- WR Jaylin Lane
- WR Da’Quan Felton
- DT Aeneas Peebles
- CB Dorian Strong
All but Strong came to Blacksburg via transfer. Tuten (North Carolina A&T), Felton (Norfolk State), and Jaylin Lane (Middle Tennessee) enrolled at Virginia Tech prior to the 2023 season. Peebles is in his debut season with the Hokies following four seasons at Duke. Strong is in his sixth season with the Hokies, having garnered All-ACC recognition last year.
Surprisingly, defensive end Antwaun Powell-Ryland is not on the original roster. APR is second nationally with 13 sacks and is on the NFL’s radar.
Whether Powell-Ryland makes it to Mobile or not, congratulations to all of these Hokies. If you are invited to the Senior Bowl, you are considered a draft eligible player. All of the above Hokies will be drafted.
Virginia Tech has two regular-season games left, starting with this weekend’s contest at Duke.
