2023 East-West Shrine Bowl

Tulsa RB Deneric Prince didn't impress. Arizona State RB Xazavian Valladay and Fresno State RB Jordan Mims were the obvious best RB's in this game. There was another RB that got a few carries, and looked pretty good on them, but I never caught his name or school.
Yeah, Valladay was splitting carries last year with Rachaid White of Tampa. Both them guys are very talented. Valladay will be there in the same spot as Pierce was last year. BJ Thompson has too much physical ability to get past the 3rd rd. He has that Jason Taylor vibe to him.

What is BJ Thompson?
 
Purdue QB Aidan O'Connell was trash, and UCLA QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson wasn't much better. None of the QB's were very good.
It's tough for QBs in an all star game. During practice drills, the o-linemen are heads up on the the-linemen. In the game, the rushers are coming from every angle possible. And they have a limited time working together. The QBs just had no chance vs the rush.

Guys that I haven't seen mentioned that I noticed.

Caleb Murphy, edge, Ferris State. He has the size, ability, and motor to match up with these guys from the biggers schools. Said to have 25 sacks this season? I'm not sure what level Ferris State is, but hopefully Murphy gets to the combine and competes side by side with the big boys.

WRs Michael Jefferson, Louisiana, Jadakis Bonds, Hampton, and Bryce Ford-Wheaton, West Virginia. They didn't get a lot of opportunities, but they are all big, physical wideouts that fit the WCO. I'm certain they will be in camps, if not drafted.

Art Green, DB, Houston. Playing FS, Green covered a lot of ground to break up a sideline deep route. Green played CB at Houston, but has the size, range for the safety position.
