Day Two of the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl Practices has concluded, and more and more players continue to stand out throughout. 

Who were the 2025 NFL Draft prospects who stood out the most on Day Two of the 2025 Shrine Bowl? 

Ten Winners from Day Two of East-West Shrine Bowl


Middlebury IOL Thomas Perry

I remain convinced that nobody has helped their stock more this week at practice than Middlebury's Thomas Perry. Perry's athleticism and play strength stand out, but his technique also stands out compared to the rest of the field. 

Perry is aiming to be the first Division III player drafted since Quinn Meinerz, and he's got a pretty good shot to be after these first two practices. 


Georgia Tech DL Zeke Biggers

This is two straight days of great practices for the ACC defensive tackle, and numerous scouts I spoke to kept complimenting him on the sideline. His frame at a jaw-dropping 6'5, 320 pounds with 35-inch arms stands out, but the athleticism he plays with routinely stood out in this defensive tackle group. 


Kansas CB Cobee Bryant

It's hard to say many players have had a better week than Kansas's Cobee Bryant. He's on the smaller side, but he plays with a terrific swagger and physicality that defies his size. 

The click-and-close, length, and ball skills have made him a PBU machine all week. 


Oregon State IOL Joshua Gray

A multi-year starter at left tackle and guard, Gray has mainly played at center throughout practices and has handled the transition well. The athleticism has stood out moving through drills, and he had a fantastic one-on-one against Clemson's Payton Page. 

In a weaker center class, Gray handling a move inside to center helps his draft stock out and might make him one of the earliest-drafted centers in this class. 


Rutgers CB Robert Longerbeam

I spoke to a few scouts today who came away impressed with Robert Longerbeam's fluidity and physicality on film, and it showed up throughout practice. He had a fantastic break on the ball in a rep against UNLV's Ricky White generating a pass breakup in one-on-ones. 


Pitt WR Konata Mumpfield

Mumpfield is a smoooooth mover in space on film, and he has stood out throughout both practices. Today, Mumpfield had a great vertical stack on an overthrown pass. He's had some of the best releases of the wide receiver group so far this week.


North Carolina CB Alijah Huzzie

Out of all of the players I've seen so far this week, Alijah Huzzie is the one I'm most intrigued to get to the film on. He's shown great technique and fluidity throughout the week, and today was another standout performance for him. He is definitely a stock up player in this cornerback class.


Kansas OL Bryce Cabeldue

Another talented player in this offensive line group, Bryce Cabeldue has had some terrific reps throughout drills. He has played mainly tackle in college and in some drills, but scouts I talked to believe he is likely a guard at the next level. 

However, his technique and play strength have stood out so far at the Shrine Bowl, and these reps have started convincing me he should be going higher than I've seen him mocked. 


BYU DE Tyler Batty

Tyler Batty has been arguably the most impressive pass rusher at the Shrine Bowl, in my opinion. He's been consistent, rarely losing more than one rep in any drill. In pass rush drills, he's thrown a variety of moves at tackles to catch them off guard, and he's been difficult to move in run defense drills. 

Batty projects as a five-technique at the next level but has some intriguing inside/outside versatility. 


Maryland DT Jordan Phillips & Indiana C.J. West

There's not too much to say about both Jordan Phillips and C.J. West for this one. This defensive tackle duo have been the best players at the Shrine Bowl, and they've shown that status in virtually every drill in both practices. 


Honorable Mentions:

  • Tennessee WR Dont'e Thornton
  • Arizona State SAF Shemari Simmons
  • UNLV WR Ricky White
  • Arizona RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt
  • Eastern Washington WR Efton Chism
