The bowl season gives fans and scouts alike a chance to analyze NFL Draft prospects against solid competition. Bowl scheduling allows all eyes to be on each game. Here are the NFL Draft prospects in the 2025 Celebration Bowl.
Mike Lunz, EDGE
Lunz also spent time at Tulane before transferring to South Carolina State. He played for four seasons and registered 10 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. In his one season with South Carolina State, Lunz has registered 40 total tackles, 8.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
At 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, Lunz is a little undersized for an NFL edge rusher. His lack of production at Tulane is concerning, but his ability to get after the passer this year boosts his stock. He could be a player who signs with a team as an undrafted free agent.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Jordan Smith, WR
Smith signed with South Carolina State out of high school and has been with the team since 2021. he had two decent seasons in 2022 and 2023, having 278 and 256 yards in those seasons, respectively. This season has been the best of his career, as he has caught 50 passes for 748 yards and six touchdowns. He also had 15 rushes for 102 yards and a touchdown.
He stands 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, which is smaller for an NFL wide receiver. Smith will need to add muscle to his frame to help with the physicality of the next level. The production this year is a good sign and could get him a chance at the next level.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Jyzaiah Rockwell, WR
Rockwell signed with Sam Houston State out of high school. After not playing much in his first two seasons with the team, he decided to transfer to Prairie View A&M. He has exploded this season, hauling in 66 catches for 1,055 yards and six touchdowns.
At 6-foot-2 and 214 pounds, Rockwell has great size for an NFL wide receiver. His production this season, paired with his size will draw some interest from scouts. He is still a junior, so a return to school or a trip to the transfer portal could be the smart move for Rockwell.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Travor Randle, S
Randle played three seasons at the junior college level to start his career. After leaving Jones College, he signed with ULM for the 2024 season. He had 40 total tackles during his time with the Warhawks. For the 2025 season, he transferred to Prairie View A&M. This season he has registered 89 total tackles and three interceptions.
While he is shorter at 5-foot-10, he has a solid frame at 205 pounds. Playing at the FBS level and getting that experience helps, but his production at the FCS level has really stood out. That may be enough to get him some looks by NFL teams.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
