2025 College Football All-Senior Team: Top Senior Year Players This Season

Now that the 2025 college football regular season has ended (and conference championship weekend awaits), it's time to look back at which seniors stood tall on the fields of the FBS.  

The team at RotoWire.com, where we give you top college football promo codes, broke down the top seniors during the regular season, with players on offense, defense and special teams honored for their efforts. 

Offense

Offensively, no one did more among senior quarterbacks this season than Diego Pavia of Vanderbilt and South Florida's Byrum Brown.  

Pavia led the Commodores to a 10-2 campaign, hitting 242-of-340 through the air for 3,192 yards and 27 touchdowns, to go with 826 yards and nine scores on the ground.  

Brown and the Bulls went 9-3 in Alex Golesh's final season in Tampa, with the senior QB from Raleigh throwing for 3,158 yards on 226-for-341 passing, connecting on 28 touchdowns to seven picks while adding 1,008 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground.  

Joining those two in the All-Senior Team backfield this year were backs Kaytron Allen of Penn State and Virgina's J'Mari Taylor, with Allen serving as the major silver lining in a 6-6 season in State College, rushing for 1,303 yards and 15 touchdowns (both career highs).  

Taylor provided UVA plenty of firepower out of the backfield as the Cavaliers raced out to the school's best finish (10-2) since 1989, rushing for 997 yards and 14 scores while becoming the first ACC back since 2021 to throw for a touchdown, doing so in UVA's 27-7 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday night. 

The best seniors at wideout this season were Skyler Bell of UConn, Eric McAlister of TCU and Camden Brown of Georgia Southern, with Bell catching 101 balls for 1,276 yards and 13 scores, while McAlister had 1,121 yards on 64 catches and 10 touchdowns in Fort Worth this season. Finally, Brown had 1,049 yards and 14 touchdowns on 63 catches for the Eagles this season, serving as an offensive bright spot during a 6-6 season. 

The lone tight end to make our All-Senior Team in 2025 was Eli Stowers of Vanderbilt, who finished the year with 62 catches for 769 yards and four touchdowns, helping pace the Commodores' first 10-win season in program history.  

The big fellas in the trenches that made our All-Senior Team this senior were tackles J.C. Davis of Illinois and Missouri's Keagen Trost, along with guards Will Jeffcoat of Army and Air Force's Jack Barnett, with Iowa center Logan Jones rounding out the collective in 2025.

Defense

Defensively, the big fellas to make the All-Senior team this season were names like David Bailey of Texas Tech and Cashius Howell of Texas A&M on the edge and Landon Robinson of Navy and New Mexico State's Ezra Christensen at the tackle position.  

Bailey had 25 tackles and 12.5 sacks this season for the 11-1 Red Raiders, while Howell added 19 tackles, 11.5 sacks and a forced fumble for the Aggies, who also were 11-1 this season.  

Robinson helped spur Navy to a 9-2 record (with the Army-Navy game still to play), thanks to making 24 tackles and 6.5 sacks, while Christensen had 21 tackles, 6 sacks and a forced fumble for the Aggies.  

At linebacker this year, seniors like Red Murdock of Buffalo and Arizona State's Keyshaun Elliott made the cut, thanks to the former having 53 tackles, 6 forced fumbles and 5 sacks for the Bulls, while Elliott added 54 tackles and 7 sacks in Tempe this year.  

Finally, the defensive backfield this year includes cornerbacks Mansoor Delane of LSU and San Diego State's Chris Johnson, along with safeties Emmanuel McNeil-Warren of Toledo and Bishop Fitzgerald of USC.  

Delane and the Tigers wound up losing in Norman to Oklahoma, 17-13, though the senior finished the year with 28 tackles, 11 pass deflections and 2 interceptions, while Johnson had 34 tackles, 8 pass deflections, 4 interceptions and 1 forced fumble for the Aztecs in 2025.  

Bishop-Warren had 35 tackles, 5 pass deflections, 3 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions for Toledo in 2025, while Fitzgerald finished his final year in L.A. with 34 tackles, 5 interceptions and 3 pass deflections.   

Special Teams

In the special teams game, the top senior at the place kicker position this season was Kansei Matsuzawa of Hawai'i, while Florida punter Tommy Doman and Iowa returner Kaden Wetjen rounded out the collective.  

Matsuzawa finished the Rainbow Warrior's 8-4 campaign with 25 field goals in 26 tries, hitting on a long of 52 yards and converting all 37 of his extra point tries, while Doman averaged 44 yards per attempt on 50 punts this year for the lowly Gators, hitting a long of 71 yards during the year.  

Finally, Wetjen was a certified weapon for the Hawkeyes in the return game, with 538 punt return and 427 kick return yards, scoring one touchdown (via a kick return) during his third and final season in Iowa City.
