Tom Brady. Eddie George. Steve Smith Sr. All NFL legends who played in the East-West Shrine Bowl. Could one of these former TXHSFB stars in the game's 100th version be the next great?

Here are the former Friday night heroes who increased their Sunday afternoon stock this week. Prospects listed in alphabetical order.

Texas Tech RB Tahj Brooks (Manor HS)

Brooks has received the most coverage of any TXHSFB alum over the week for his display of elusiveness and agility at 230 pounds. He was named to the West squad's All-Practice Team and also listed as one of the top 10 standouts by NFL.com's Chad Reuter. 

Brooks set Texas Tech's career rushing record with 4,557 yards from 2020-24, turning the traditionally Air Raid centric program into a balanced attack.

“It’s bigger than myself,” Brooks told DCTF. “It changes Texas Tech history and it changes Texas Tech for our recruiters. Now, running backs are going to want to come to Texas Tech and try to be better than me.”

Texas Tech TE Jalin Conyers (Gruver HS)

Conyers joined fellow Texas Tech alum Brooks on the West's All-Practice team. He spent his final season of eligibility in Lubbock - his childhood favorite program - and displayed versatility as a blocker in the run game. That, paired with his plus athleticism, earned him an NFL Combine invite. The Athletic's NFL Draft Analyst Nick Baumgardner wrote that Conyers's potential as an H-back/TE2 option makes him an intriguing prospect. 

Texas State IOL Nash Jones (Nacogdoches HS)

Jones switched from tackle in an injury-shortened 2023 season to left guard in 2024 and now seeks to become the first Texas State offensive lineman selected in the NFL Draft since 1990. At 6'5, Jones had some standout plays rotating between guard and center in practice.

Clemson S RJ Mickens (Southlake Carroll HS)

Mickens earned All-Practice Team designation for the East Squad, and multiple sources at Shrine Bowl workouts said he was a standout among former TXHSFB stars. DallasCowboys.com staff writer Tommy Yarrish wrote that Mickens was always in the right position in run defense and was a willing tackler. Mickens, the son of former New York Jets' defensive back Ray Mickens, is just the tenth player in Clemson history to play 60 career games.

Nebraska WR Isiaiah Neyor (Arlington Lamar HS)

Neyor couldn't answer the biggest questions surrounding his draft stock - health - at the Shrine Bowl (he played in one game in two years at Texas before transferring to Nebraska). But he did all he could on the field. The 6'3 receiver was named to the East Team All-Practice squad and won multiple deep ball one-on-ones. He wasn't just a home run threat, however, finding multiple holes in zone coverage for chunk plays.
