East-West Shrine Bowl Celebrates 100th Edition in 2025

ARLINGTON, Texas — The East-West Shrine Bowl, the nation’s longest-running college all-star football game, will celebrate its 100th edition on Jan. 30, 2025, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The game, scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, will be broadcast on NFL Network, showcasing top college football prospects ahead of the NFL Draft.

Since its inception in 1925, the Shrine Bowl has been a platform for emerging talent. The West Team has dominated recent matchups, winning the 2024 game 26-11, the 2023 game 12-3, and narrowly edging out the East Team 25-24 in 2022. This year’s game will feature players from FBS, FCS, HBCU, DII, and DIII programs, highlighting the depth of talent across college football.

The 2025 rosters include standout players such as Shedeur Sanders, quarterback for Colorado, and Cam Ward, a rising star from Miami (Fla.). The West Team boasts players like Zah Frazier, a defensive back from UTSA, and Cobee Bryant from Kansas. The East Team features talents such as Glendon Miller from Maryland and Nick Nash from San Jose State.

“The Shrine Bowl is more than just a game; it’s a celebration of football and an opportunity for these young men to showcase their skills on a national stage,” said a spokesperson for the event. The game also supports Shriners Hospitals for Children, continuing its tradition of philanthropy.

Looking ahead, the 2025 Senior Bowl, another premier college all-star game, will follow shortly after, maintaining its status as a key event for NFL scouts and fans alike. The Academic All-America® football team, led by Aaron Syverson of Saint John’s (MN), was also recently announced, highlighting the academic achievements of student-athletes.

As the 100th anniversary approaches, the East-West Shrine Bowl remains a cornerstone of college football, bridging the gap between collegiate and professional careers while supporting a noble cause.
