ON LOCATION: EAST-WEST SHRINE BOWL DAY 2 MONEY MAKERS
FRISCO — Another spirited practice is in the books at the 101st East-West Shrine Bowl. We saw better chemistry between the quarterbacks and receivers on the second day, highlighted by a 40-yard dime by UConn signal-caller Joe Fagnano to Georgia Tech speedster Eric Rivers, who had a solid day overall.
One of the more comfortable looking quarterbacks in attendance is Behren Morton of Texas Tech, who connected with Georgia playmaker Dillon Bell on a nice downfield ball over the top of Toledo cornerback Andre Fuller. We have more on another top quarterback and top performers below.
It was another great day in the trenches with the featured matchup pitting two of the top standouts against each other, as Duke center Brian Parker and Texas A&M defensive tackle Albert Regis battled to a stalemate on a several occasions.
The star of the week has been Iowa slot/returner Kaden Wetjen who has unable to be guarded against during one-on-ones and reminds us of another former Hawkeyes return extraordinaire Tim Dwight. In fact, after this week, Wetjen could be viewed as a top 50 overall player on draft boards.
The East-West Shrine Bowl does a nice job of providing data analytics and alternate stats. In terms of max acceleration, SMU safety Ahmaad Moses (6.59), Texas cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau (6.21) and North Carolina cornerback Marcus Allen (6.03) registered top marks on the second day of practice.
[NOTE]: Max acceleration in football analytics refers to the highest instantaneous acceleration a player achieves during a play, practice, or game, typically measured in yards per second squared. It quantifies how explosively a player can change speed from a standstill or low speed—essentially their burst or “first-step quickness” in short bursts.
On minor injury of note to report as UConn wideout Skyler Bell (quad), is expected to shut it down for the remainder of the week. There have also been some roster additions, including Tulsa running back Dominic Richardson, Arizona wideout Kris Hutson, Alabama offensive lineman Kam Dewberry and UTSA linebacker Shad Banks.
Onto the standouts …
