In 2025, a total of 30 players that have competed on teams in the Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl were either drafted or signed free agent contracts with the National Football League.  Over the past five years, this increases the total number of Frisco Bowl participants being either drafted or signing free agent contracts with the National Football League to 132 Players.
