ON LOCATION: EAST-WEST SHRINE BOWL DAY 1 MONEY MAKERS
FRISCO — The 101st East-West Shrine Bowl is underway, as approximately 140 prospects reported to ‘The Star’ for an opportunity to compete in front of NFL scouts from all 32 teams. The East-West Shrine Bowl continues to increase the level of talent and this year’s roster has not dissappointed.
Several highly-rated prospects such as LSU linebacker Harold Perkins, Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson and UConn wideout Skyler Bell are projected to be in consideration as top 50 prospects. A strong showing this week could possibly help catapult them into the first round.
There are no shortage of LSU players in attendance and a couple of Tigers outran the competition on day one, as tight end Bauer Sharp (21.19 mph) and wide receiver Zavion Thomas (20.31 mph) were the two fastest recorded players, with the aforementioned Bell (20.1) also registering a top mark.
Several players have since been added to the roster late, including wideouts Nick DeGennaro of James Madison and Anthony Smith of ECU, Tennessee tight end Miles Kitselman, along with offensive linemen Tristan Leigh of Clemson, John Gesky of Illinois, Christian Jones of San Diego State and Jaren Kump of Utah, plus defensive lineman Michael Heldman of Central Michigan.
Be sure to keep it locked to All Access Football throughout the week for extensive coverage of the East-West Shrine Bowl. You can also view verified weigh-in measurements from the event here.
