Ravens Scout All-Star Game for Future Stars

The Baltimore Ravens are closely watching prospects at the East-West Shrine Bowl, a significant event for players aiming for the NFL. Historically, the Ravens have shown a preference for experienced college players and have frequently drafted talent from these all-star games. This year's contest, won by the West squad 21-17 in Frisco, Texas, presented over a dozen players whose performances could align with the Ravens' needs for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.

Several individuals stood out, including defensive lineman Thompson, who recorded an early sack and tackle for loss. Tight end Thompson impressed with his blocking and ability to gain first downs. Defensive end Banks was a force against both the run and pass, notching a strip-sack touchdown. Kicker Smack made a career-long 57-yard field goal, showing potential competition for the current kicker. Offensive tackle Bruin was dominant in blocking, particularly on a game-winning drive, highlighting positional versatility and a need at guard.

Quarterback Gronowski, named Offensive MVP, showcased dual-threat abilities with passing and rushing, leading a scoring drive and making a key block. Defensive end Reiger earned Defensive MVP with three sacks, demonstrating relentless pressure. Wide receiver Yellowjacket was a productive and reliable pass-catcher, offering potential value on special teams as a returner. These performances offer valuable insights for the Ravens as they assess potential additions to their roster.
