Four Falcons named to East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 list

Four Bowling Green State University football players have been named to the East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 list.

Safety Jordan Anderson, defensive lineman Karl Brooks, cornerback Davon Ferguson and tight end Christian Sims were named to the list by the East-West Shrine as the senior all-star game identifies eligible players for the 2023 East-West Shrine Bowl and the 2023 NFL Draft Class.
