UVA Football standout J’Mari Taylor has gotten an invite to be a participant in the 2026 Senior Bowl, the actual game taking place on Jan. 31, but the important part being the week leading up to the game.
Taylor, a first-team All-ACC selection this season, led the conference in rushing (1,062 yards) and accounted for 16 TDs (14 rushing, one receiving, one passing) as a grad transfer in 2025.
Taylor started his college career as a walk-on at North Carolina Central, an FCS school, in 2021, with his breakthrough season coming in 2024, when he rushed for 1,146 yards and 15 TDs.
I’m seeing his name in 2026 mock drafts as high as the sixth round – Pro Football Focus has him at #165 on its big board, as the 11th running back selected.
