One Final Ride: The 2027 DeBree Elite Senior Bowl

For most athletes, football is more than just a game. It is years of hard work, sacrifice, brotherhood, discipline, and memories that last a lifetime. The 2027 DeBree Elite Senior Bowl was created to honor that journey.

For some athletes, this game will be one final opportunity to be seen by college coaches and find the next place to continue their football careers. For others, this will be the final time they ever step onto the gridiron. No matter where each athlete’s journey leads after high school, this event is designed to celebrate the work they have put in to reach this moment.

The 2027 DeBree Elite Senior Bowl will take place March 13-14, 2027 at Knightstown High School and will feature some of the top senior football athletes from across the Midwest.

Saturday, March 13, 2027 — Registration & Practices

The weekend will begin Saturday morning with athlete registration at Knightstown High School. During registration, athletes will officially check in while parents and family members receive their entry badges for the weekend.

Each athlete will also receive their official stitched DeBree Elite Senior Bowl uniform, which they will keep following the event as a memory of their participation in the game.

Once registration is complete, all athletes will gather together as one group as we officially welcome them to the event. The head coaches and coaching staffs will then introduce themselves before athletes are divided into their teams.

Shortly after registration, practices will begin. Teams will rotate through their practice schedules throughout the morning before breaking for lunch and family time. In the afternoon, each team will participate in a second practice session as they prepare for game day.

After practices conclude, athletes and families will have time to relax and enjoy the evening before meeting later that night at a hotel location that will be announced at a later date. This will give athletes another opportunity to bond with teammates, coaches, and fellow competitors before taking the field on Sunday.

Sunday, March 14, 2027 — Game Day

On Sunday morning, athletes will report back to the field at 10:00 AM for preparation, interviews, media opportunities, and team warmups leading into kickoff.

Kickoff for the 2027 DeBree Elite Senior Bowl will take place at 1:00 PM.

One of the most special moments of the event will happen during halftime, when uncommitted athletes will have the opportunity to publicly announce their college commitments live during the event stream if they choose to do so.

Following halftime, teams will battle through the second half before the event concludes with postgame awards. Awards will be presented to:

• Top Offensive Player

• Top Defensive Player

• Top Special Teams Player

More Than Just a Football Game

The DeBree Elite Senior Bowl is about more than football. It is about giving athletes one more opportunity to compete, create memories with teammates and family, and celebrate the journey they have taken to reach this point.

Throughout the weekend there will also be:

• Food available on site

The goal of this event is simple: create a high-level experience that honors athletes while also helping open doors for their future.

Either way, they earned the opportunity to take the field one more time.

The 2027 DeBree Elite Senior Bowl is where the Midwest’s elite come together one final time.
