The East-West Shrine Bowl, the nation’s oldest college football all-star game, has released its annual Shrine Bowl 1000 of top eligible collegiate stars for the upcoming 2024 game.

The 99th annual East-West Shrine Bowl will take place Thursday, February 1, 2025, in Frisco, Texas, at Ford Center at The Star, the worldwide headquarters and training facility for the Dallas Cowboys. The game will be televised nationally on NFL Network.

Jacob Bayer, Corey Rucker, Courtney Jackson, Ja’Quez Cross, Malik Hornsby, Makilan Thomas, and Mekhi Butler are all on the list.

Each year, hundreds of the top collegiate stars are either taken in the NFL Draft or sign as free agents, and the East-West Shrine Bowl provides these NFL hopefuls with an excellent opportunity to showcase their skills while supporting the life-changing mission of Shriners Children’s.

“The Shrine Bowl 1,000 serves as the first look at who may be at the 2024 East-West Shrine Bowl,” said Eric Galko, Director of Football Operations and Player Personnel for the Shrine Bowl. “Our staff combed through all four levels of college football, evaluating thousands of Shrine Bowl-eligible players, to find the top players in the country. We’re excited to recognize these players for their accomplishments so far, and make sure that fans, media and NFL clubs know that these players are among the best in the nation.”

Arkansas State is set to begin fall camp in August before opening up the 2024 season against Central Arkansas on August 31 at Centennial Bank Stadium in Jonesboro.
