No conference is represented more than the Southeastern Conference, which has 23 participants. Among them is Alabama right tackle DJ Fluker. He and Justin Pugh of Syracuse are the first two fourth-year juniors to play in the game.

According to Senior Bowl executive director Phil Savage, a fourth-year player could be eligible if he was in school for four years, graduated and received the support of his head coach. Pugh battled injuries throughout his career but could become a first-round choice with a good showing in Mobile.
