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 Frisco Bowl.
Tunmise Adeleye, EDGE
Adeleye has played at a different school every year of college. He started his career at Texas A&M, where he had six tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss. In 2023, he suited up for Michigan State, where he had nine tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack. For the 2024 season, he played at Texas State, registering six total tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks. This season for UNLV, Adeleye has totaled 44 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and six sacks.
At 6-foot-4 and 275 pounds, Adeleye is a bigger player for an edge rusher. He might be more of a tweener at the next level. His one year of major production will raise some eyebrows, but might be able to make a practice squad in the right situation.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
JoJo Earle, WR
Earle started his career at Alabama. In two seasons with the Crimson Tide, he caught 24 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns. He transferred to TCU for the next two seasons. At TCU, he had 23 catches for 276 yards and three touchdowns. In 2025, he transferred to UNLV and put up 18 catches for 218 yards.
He stands at 5-foot-10 and 176 pounds, which is smaller for an NFL receiver. He will likely be a slot only player at the next level. His lack of production in college is concerning, but Earle has a chance to make a team if he can play well on special teams. He has some experience during his college days as a returner.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Sieh Bangura, RB
Bangura started his career at Ohio in 2021. He redshirted his first season and only put up 93 yards. Bangura broke out in 2022, as he rushed for 1,078 yards and 13 touchdowns. In 2023, he had another solid season, as he had 811 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Following the 2023 season, he transferred to Minnesota, where he only rushed for 12 yards in three games played. He transferred back to Ohio for the 2025 season and had his best season yet with 1,243 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns.
At 6-foot and 216 pounds, Bangura has good size for an NFL running back. He has demonstrated his power as a runner and also has a bit of receiving production over his career. Bangura will have a chance to prove himself in camp where he could impress enough to make a practice squad.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Parker Navarro, QB
Navarro started his college career at UCF. He didn’t play much for the Knights and transferred to Ohio in 2022. Navarro played as a backup in his first two seasons with the team. Navarro started in 2023, passing for 2,423 yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions on 66.1 percent completion. This season, Navarro has passed for 2,232 yards, 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on 61.5 percent completion.
He is small for an NFL quarterback at 6-foot and 205 pounds. Navarro has good dual-threat abilities, which helped the rushing attack for Ohio. He has turned the ball over too much in college, but he could be a player who can develop more in the future. Navarro is petitioning for another year of eligibility to try to prove himself.
