The official measurements are in for the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl, and as always, the tape measure didn’t lie. With players from across the country converging in Mobile, Alabama, for one of the premier pre-draft showcases, the height and weight numbers released Monday gave scouts-and fans-a clearer picture of how these prospects stack up physically. And let’s just say, there were a few surprises.
Diego Pavia: Undersized, But Not Overlooked
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia came in under expectations-literally. He measured at 5-foot-9 7/8 and 198 pounds, a noticeable drop from his listed 6-foot, 207-pound frame at Vanderbilt.
While it’s common for players to shed some weight during postseason training, height is a different story. For a quarterback, sub-6-foot measurements can be a red flag for some teams.
But in today’s NFL, where mobility and playmaking often outweigh prototypical size, Pavia will still get his shot to prove he belongs.
LT Overton: Alabama Edge Rusher Comes In Shorter Than Expected
One of the more notable discrepancies among in-state prospects came from Alabama defensive end LT Overton. The Crimson Tide had him listed at 6-5, but he officially measured 6-2 ¾ and 278 pounds.
That’s a significant drop in listed height, especially for a player who projects as a defensive end or edge rusher at the next level. While the tape will ultimately tell the story, measurables like these can shift how teams view a player’s positional fit.
Jeremiah Wright: A Mountain on the Line
Auburn offensive lineman Jeremiah Wright tipped the scales as the heaviest player at this year’s Senior Bowl, weighing in at 340 pounds. That’s just a hair under his listed weight of 348, but what stands out is that his height-6-foot-5-matched exactly what Auburn had on the roster. Wright has the kind of size that will draw attention from NFL offensive line coaches looking for a road grader in the trenches.
Aaron Anderson: Small Frame, Big Play Potential
LSU wide receiver Aaron Anderson, who began his college career at Alabama, came in as the shortest player in this year’s game at 5-foot-7 ½ and 177 pounds. That’s a tick below his listed 5-8, 188, but Anderson’s game has never been about size. He’s a dynamic playmaker with quick-twitch explosiveness, and he’ll have a chance this week to show he can separate from defenders regardless of stature.
Dametrious Crownover: Texas A&M’s Towering Tackle
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Texas A&M offensive lineman Dametrious Crownover measured 6-foot-6 7/8 and 331 pounds, making him the tallest player currently in Mobile. The Aggies had him at 6-7, 330, so he’s right on target. Crownover’s length and size give him a natural advantage as a pass protector, and he’ll be one to watch as practices unfold.
Markel Bell: The Giant on the Way
Crownover’s reign as the tallest and heaviest may be short-lived, though. Miami offensive lineman Markel Bell is expected to arrive soon after a weather delay, and he’s listed at a towering 6-9, 345 pounds. Once he checks in, he’ll likely take over both size categories-and all eyes will be on how he moves with that frame.
Kevin Coleman: Lightest on the Roster, But Don’t Blink
Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman is the lightest player in Mobile this week, weighing just 174 pounds on a 5-11 1/8 frame. While that’s on the lighter side for an NFL receiver, Coleman brings speed and agility that can’t be measured on a scale. He’ll need to show he can hold up against physical coverage, but his quickness could make him a matchup nightmare in space.
Quarterback Measurements: No Major Surprises Outside Pavia
Here’s how the rest of the quarterback group measured up:
- Luke Altmyer (Illinois): 6-1 ¼, 210
- Taylen Green (Arkansas): 6-6, 229
- Garrett Nussmeier (LSU): 6-1, 202
- Cole Payton (North Dakota State): 6-2 3/8, 229
- Sawyer Robertson (Baylor): 6-3 5/8, 221
Outside of Pavia, most quarterback heights were within an inch of their listed measurements. Taylen Green’s 6-6 frame makes him the tallest in the group, and that kind of size will certainly draw attention from teams looking for a big-bodied signal-caller.
In-State Connections: Familiar Names, Official Numbers
Several players with Alabama ties also had their official measurements released:
- James Brockermeyer (C, Miami; Alabama transfer): 6-3 1/8, 297
- Romello Height (LB, Texas Tech; Auburn transfer): 6-2 3/8, 234
- Lee Hunter (DL, Texas Tech; Auburn transfer): 6-3 ½, 320
- Quintavious Hutchins (DE, Boston College; Bessemer City): 6-2 ½, 229
- Caullin Lacy (WR, Louisville; Faith Academy/South Alabama transfer): 5-8 3/8, 189
- Jeffrey M’ba (DL, SMU; Auburn transfer): 6-5 ½, 316
- TJ Parker (LB, Clemson; Central-Phenix City): 6-3 5/8, 263
- Devin Voisin (WR, South Alabama): 5-9 7/8, 182
- Harrison Wallace (WR, Ole Miss; Pike Road): 5-11 5/8, 194
- Scooby Williams (LB, Texas A&M; Ramsay): 6-2 1/8, 217
These players will be looking to boost their draft stock with strong performances during the week, and their official measurements give scouts a baseline as they evaluate how each prospect moves and competes on the field.
What’s Next in Mobile
While the Senior Bowl didn’t release hand size, wingspan, or arm length this year-metrics that have become staples in scouting circles-the height and weight numbers still offer plenty of insight. The weigh-in has remained closed to media since the pandemic, but the buzz around the numbers remains a big part of the pre-draft narrative.
Practices for the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl kick off Tuesday and run through Thursday at Hancock Whitney Stadium. The game itself is set for Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
