Texas’ Barryn Sorrell Earns Top Defensive Lineman Honors at Senior Bowl, Voted by Teammates
MOBILE, AL – The Senior Bowl is not just about showcasing talent to NFL scouts—it’s also a proving ground where players earn the respect of their peers. This year, Texas Longhorns defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell made a major impression, as he was voted the top defensive lineman by his Senior Bowl teammates.
Sorrell, who spent his college career disrupting offenses in the Big 12, brought that same intensity to Mobile, where he dominated in practices and drills against some of the nation’s best offensive linemen. His relentless motor, strong technique, and ability to pressure the quarterback stood out throughout the week, making him a clear favorite among his fellow players.
Being recognized by teammates—fellow draft prospects who are also vying for NFL opportunities—makes this honor even more meaningful. It signals not just dominance in drills and game reps, but also leadership, work ethic, and a competitive edge that NFL teams value highly.
With NFL scouts and coaches taking note, Sorrell’s draft stock is on the rise. His standout performance at the Senior Bowl could propel him higher on draft boards, solidifying his case as a top-tier defensive prospect heading into the 2025 NFL Draft.
