The 2026 Panini Senior Bowl held its second string of practices on Wednesday. Similar to Tuesday’s events, the National Team held the opening session with an evening practice to follow from the American Team. The Draft Network is in attendance to provide in-depth analysis from each practice session at this year’s premier pre-draft event.
Wednesday’s National Team practice saw a pair of wide receivers continue building momentum for themselves. A pass rusher and defensive back also took advantage of their opportunity to increase their 2026 NFL Draft stock. We've identified four winners from Wednesday’s National Team practice.
Reggie Virgil, WR, Texas Tech
Texas Tech wide receiver Reggie Virgil built on Tuesday’s showing with another strong performance on Wednesday. Virgil continues to display a vertical skill set. As the old adage goes: If he’s even, he’s leavin’. The Red Raiders standout has arguably been the smoothest receiver in attendance through two days.

North Dakota State quarterback Cole Payton located Virgil for a deep touchdown with Thaddeus Dixon in coverage. Virgil has consistently displayed take-the-top-off speed. He'll stretch defenses vertically at the next level.
Bud Clark, SAF, TCU
TCU defensive back Bud Clark has one of the bigger personalities in attendance. He's a trash talker with a ton of energy. On Wednesday, Clark solidified his approach with a stellar performance that highlighted versatility.

Clark played all over the defensive backfield for the Horned Frogs and that ability showed up at Wednesday's practice. Clark made plays at nickel during the team period and came up with an eye-popping interception in a one-on-one rep with NC State tight end Justin Joly. He's infectious with downhill intentions.
Josh Cameron, WR, Baylor
Baylor wide receiver Josh Cameron was a standout on Tuesday. Cameron made plays vertically at the opening Senior Bowl practice. At Wednesday’s session, the big-bodied wideout highlighted more of an all-around game by making plays in the intermediate area of the field.

Cameron used physicality to out-muscle defenders during individual drills. Cameron is a big receiver with strong hands and the ability to out-box cornerbacks at the catch point. He’s a vertical contested-catch winner, but he also created separation in the short and intermediate areas.
Romello Height, EDGE, Texas Tech
Texas Tech EDGE Romello Height is among the most athletic pass rushers in attendance. His speed and ability to win the arc made recurring appearances at Wednesday's National Team session. Height also forced a fumble during the team period.

Height utilized athleticism to quickly win the inside track for a would-be sack on Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson. Height exploded for a career-high 10.0 sacks at Texas Tech this past campaign after previously playing at Auburn, USC, and Georgia Tech. A potential double-digit sack skill set was evident on Wednesday.
