The annual East-West Shrine Game starts the college football "All-Star," draft prospect bowl series this week. While practices take place throughout the week, the game isteld will be this upcoming weekend and will give us a look at some of the potential names that may be called in May when the NFL Draft kicks off.
The 89th edition of the Shrine Game will feature a West roster coached by Romeo Crennel and headlined by Michigan State linebacker Max Bullough. The Spartan is looking to repair the damage done to his draft stock when he was suspended from the Rose Bowl for violating team rules. No further details have been released.
Missouri cornerback E.J. Gaines also finds himself on Crennel's squad. Gaines has the distinction of being an All-Big 12 and an All-SEC selection in his time with Missouri and will have a chance to show off his skills against the top two quarterbacks in the game, the East roster's Jordan Lynch and Jimmy Garoppolo.
