[ad_1]

The East-West Shrine Bowl will once again serve as a college football all-star game for a purpose. The game supports the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital while featuring the best players in the country participating in a postseason event.

The game released a lengthy watch list ahead of the 2022 season. The only requirement for selection is that the player is eligible for the 2023 NFL Draft.

Eight Badgers are on the East-West Shrine Bowl watch list, including players on both sides of the line as well as one of the stars of Wisconsin’s running back room.

Here is a look at the eight Badgers to make the watch list:
