The East-West Shrine Bowl practices start on Saturday with the game scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 30th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Zach Tom, Edgerrin Cooper, Jon Runayn Jr, Samori Toure, Ka’Dar Hollman, James Looney and Hunter Bradley are all draft picks who played in the Shrine Bowl that Brian Gutekunst has selected.
Let’s take a look at 10 players from the West roster who could be potential targets for the Green Bay Packers during the 2025 NFL Draft.
Zy Alexander, CB, LSU
The LSU cornerback is a well-put-together cornerback with the fluidity to mirror and match. He uses his length to disrupt the catch point. Over the past two seasons, Alexander recorded four interceptions and 11 pass deflections.
Jason Marshall Jr, CB, Florida
The Florida Gator cornerback had his season cut short due to injury and will get a chance to remind teams of his talent down in Texas this week. Marshall is a tall, lanky corner, who plays with clean feet.
Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland
A high school wrestler, Phillips has a unique blend of power and initial quickness that will be on full display in practice this week. His production won’t jump out at you, but there is no denying there is a ton of power flowing through his frame.
Ahmed Hassanein, Edge, Boise State
Hassanein is a power-packed edge rusher with strong hands to sledgehammer through offensive tackles. As a run defender, he sets a hard edge and competes with consistent effort.
Jay Higgins, LB, Iowa
Higgins has strong hands to defeat blocks and fills the gap with urgency. He plays with physicality and has a motor that runs hot. Over the past two seasons, Higgins has recorded 295 tackles, 103 run stops, eight tackles for loss, five interceptions and nine pass deflections.
Drew Kendall, C, Boston College
Pete Kendall’s son, the younger Kendall finished his collegiate career with 37 starts at center. Kendall moves well, with outstanding lateral mobility. This past season Kendall gave up one sack and five pressures.
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, OL, Florida
A San Diego State transfer, Crenshaw-Dickson started 11 games at right tackle during his lone season in The Swamp. As an Aztec, he started 18 games at right tackle and 17 at left tackle. He’s a powerful run blocker who uses an efficient punch in pass protection.
Marcus Wehr, OL, Montana State
Wehr started his career at Montana State as a defensive lineman before making the switch to the offensive line in 2022. That season he started five games before suffering a season-ending injury. The following season, Wehr started 11 games at right tackle and one game at right guard. This past season Wehr started all 16 games at right guard for Montana State.
Jermari Harris, CB, Iowa
Harris is a physical cornerback who is very feisty at the catch point. Over the past two seasons, he recorded four interceptions and 15 pass deflections. He shows no fear flying up in run support and is more than willing to throw his body around.
Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa
The next tight end to come out of the Iowa pipeline is Lachey. The Hawkeye tight end is a fluid athlete and has strong hands. As a blocker, he keeps his feet moving at contact and throws his weight around to help open up running lanes.
