Florida football has 14 players across eight different position groups named to the 2027 East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 List.

The 14 student-athletes selected for the East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 List are cornerback Cormani McClain defensive lineman Emmanuel Oyebadejo, defensive lineman Kamran James, linebacker Myles Graham, linebacker Jaden Robinson, offensive lineman Knijeah Harris, offensive lineman Bryce Lovett, offensive lineman Caden Jones, punter Alec Clark, running back Jadan Baugh, running back Evan Pryor, safety Bryce Thornton, safety DJ Coleman and wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr.

Of the 154 schools represented on the list, Florida is tied with the Missouri Tigers for the ninth-largest number of players named. The Texas Tech Red Raiders lead the way with 27, followed by the Indiana Hoosiers with 22.

Among SEC schools, the LSU Tigers top the conference with 21, followed by the Ole Miss Rebels, Texas Longhorns, and Texas A&M Aggies with 20, and the Georgia Bulldogs and Oklahoma Sooners with 18. That puts Florida and Missouri tied for fifth in the league with 14, with the Auburn Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, and Vanderbilt Commodores right behind them, tied at 13.

In the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl, three Gators participated in the event and were either drafted or signed as undrafted free agents: kicker Trey Smack (Green Bay Packers; sixth round, No. 216 overall), punter Tommy Doman (Buffalo Bills; seventh round, No. 239) and wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant (Green Bay Packers; UDFA). Edge defender George Gumbs Jr. accepted an invitation, but pulled out and was ultimately picked by the Indianapolis Colts at No. 164 in the fifth round of the draft.

The Shriners Children's East-West Bowl will take place in Arlington, Texas, on February 4, 2027, and will allow players to showcase their talents to NFL coaches and access NFL-level resources before the draft.
