The East-West Shrine Bowl unveiled its Shrine Bowl 1000 list of top draft-eligible college football players and eight Cavaliers made the cut.
, a list of the top college football players who are eligible for both the East-West Shrine Bowl and the NFL Draft next year, and eightplayers were included in the list. Among those recognized were UVA defensive players Chico Bennett Jr., Kam Butler, Jonas Sanker, and Jahmeer Carter, offensive players Malachi Fields, Chris Tyree, and Tyler Neville, and punter Daniel Sparks.
With the goal of predicting the roughly 1000 players who will be drafted, signed as undrafted free agents, or attend a rookie mini-camp next season, the Shrine Bowl's team of scouts consult with NFL and college football personnel to assess all four levels of collegiate football to determine the best 1000 players eligible to be drafted next year. The East-West Shrine Bowl will be held on January 30th, 2025 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
After becoming just the ninth UVA punter to earn an All-ACC selection in 2022, a season in which he matched the program's single-season punting average record and led the ACC in that category,took a bit of a step back in 2023, as his punting average dropped by three yards and he had a few punts blocked as well. Sparks will look to return to his 2022 form this fall.
Even with eight players making the list, there do seem to be some potential snubs, as Kobe Pace, Corey Thomas, Tony Muskett, and Malcolm Greene are all draft-eligible, but did not make the cut.Managing Editor and Publisher, CavaliersNow Email: [email protected]: @mattynewtssWebsite | LinkedIn | Instagram Matt Newton is the managing editor and publisher at CavaliersNow.
