G5 and FCS Players Who Accepted 2023 East–West Shrine Bowl Invites

The East-West Shrine Bowl will be played on February 2 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Kickoff is set for 8:30 PM ET on NFL Network.

Like the Reese’s Senior Bowl, this game gives college prospects the chance to further showcase their skills and meet with representatives from across the NFL ahead of this spring’s NFL Draft. In particular, fans of programs outside of the Power Five will recognize the majority of this year’s roster. Below is every name from the Group of Five, the FCS, and the lower divisions that will be playing in the game.

This list will be updated as more players accept invites.
