FRISCO, TX — Frisco might've been iced over, but these prospects had fire performances at the 101st East-West Shrine Bowl.

Note: Players can be from either a Texas high school or a Texas college to be listed.

QB Cade Klubnik (Clemson, Austin Westlake)

Klubnik did not participate in the East-West Shrine Bowl Game, but he left his mark in Frisco by earning a spot on the East Team's All-Practice Team, as voted on by coaches. The Clemson quarterback was projected to be a top-10 pick prior to the 2025 season, but he's hovering anywhere from Round 3 to a Day 3 Draft selection after an inconsistent final year. Klubnik, who was part of a three-peat state championship run at Austin Westlake, said the adversity he faced in college will prepare him for a professional career.  

"I learned how to come back from a 1-3 team and really respond from that moment," Klubnik told media members. "That came from showing up every single week for my guys. Honestly, I feel like I'm more prepared for the next level, because I learned how to climb back and win six more games."

RB Dean Connors (Houston)

Over four seasons between Rice and Houston, Connors became college football's active leader in receptions (147) and receiving yards (1,166) by a running back. He flashed exceptional route-running ability throughout the week, earning a spot on the West All-Practice Team. 

RB Robert Henry Jr. (UTSA)

Henry began his college career at Jones Junior College and finished as an All-American Conference running back at UTSA. The former Road Runner flashed the playmaking skills that allowed him to run for at least 144 yards in each of the first four games of the 2025 season, earning East All-Practice Team honors. 

OG Armaj Reed-Adams (Texas A&M, DeSoto)

Reed-Adams, who measured in at 6'5, 317, has the size and football IQ to become one of the more versatile offensive linemen in the 2026 NFL Draft. Over six college football seasons between Kansas and Texas A&M, Reed-Adams had 28 starts at right guard, nine starts at left guard, and three at right tackle. 

OG DJ Campbell (Texas, Arlington Bowie)

Campbell was the highest-rated lineman on every recruiting service coming out of Arlington Bowie in the Class of 2022. A 43-game starter at Texas, Campbell is currently ESPN Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr.'s fifth-ranked offensive guard. He was an absolute mauler in the run game over the course of the East-West Shrine Bowl. 

DE Ethan Burke (Texas, Austin Westlake)

Burke measured in at 6'6, 269 pounds, but perhaps his most impressive measurement was a 6'11 1/8 wingspan. That elite length allowed him to disrupt throws by sticking a hand up even when he couldn't get to the quarterback. 

Cole Wisniewski (Texas Tech)

Some scouts at the East-West Shrine Bowl believed Wisniewski would be the highest-drafted safety of the entire roster. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound safety earned a spot on the East's All-Practice Team, then translated it to the game on Tuesday night with a key pass breakup in the red zone. He was a key piece of Texas Tech's revamped defense in the Transfer Portal, which led to a run to the College Football Playoff.
