Jerron Cage received an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl after spending the week at the Hula Bowl, giving him another opportunity to impress NFL scouts.
While Cage spent the week in Orlando practicing in front of NFL scouts at the Hula Bowl, the Shrine Bowl gives him an even bigger opportunity to put his skills on display for pro talent evaluators, as the Shrine Bowl is one of the top two all-star games for pre-draft prospects along with the Senior Bowl.
Assuming Cage accepts the invitation, he’ll become the third Buckeye on the Shrine Bowl roster along with fellow former Ohio State defensive tackle Taron Vincent and cornerback Cameron Brown. Cage didn’t have a ton of opportunities to put his skills on display for NFL scouts in his final season as a Buckeye, in which he was the No. 5 defensive tackle in the rotation and recorded 12 total tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. Receiving a Shrine Bowl invitation, though, indicates he made a good impression on the scouts who watched him this week and that they want to see more from him.
Cage wasn’t the only member of last year’s Ohio State football team who spent the week at the Hula Bowl as Tanner McCalister also went through the week of practices and played in Saturday’s game. The former Ohio State safety made a highlight-reel play late in the first quarter of Saturday’s contest when he broke up a deep pass in a play that was reminiscent of the touchdown-saving PBU he made against Wisconsin in September. Like Cage, McCalister was grateful for his Hula Bowl experience as he looks to bolster his NFL draft stock.
