Ted Hurst, Georgia State, WR
Something that makes the Senior Bowl special is the opportunity for a few smaller school prospects to showcase their skills against top competition.
One of those players is wide receiver Ted Hurst.
Hurst already passes the eye test with his physical traits, coming into the Senior Bowl hovering around 6-foot-3 and 207 pounds. However, the receiver remains an under-the-radar prospect. He originally started his collegiate career at Division II Valdosta State and after transferring to Georgia State in his junior season, he racked up nearly 2,000 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns as an upperclassman. He was named First-Team All-Sun Belt his senior season.
With a slight chip on his shoulder, he’s shown incredible catch radius, not afraid to use his frame to snag passes away from smaller defenders.
“I’m a valuable asset,” Hurst said when asked what he wants NFL teams to take away from this week. “Some guys, they’re looking to play from the beginning. But just coming from a smaller school, being able to come out here and compete, I want to show teams I’m an all-around player whether that’s you bringing me in on special teams or you bringing me in to make plays.”
It’s worth noting that a good performance from Hurst in Saturday’s game could put him on the radar for Las Vegas, considering the team drafted receiver Jack Bech, who was the Senior Bowl Offensive MVP in 2025, with the second-round pick.
