Activities leading up to the Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, began Monday and continued early this morning with weigh-ins and height measurements.
Draft-eligible prospects from coast to coast, and small schools to powerhouses have arrived on the Gulf Coast, along with a bevy of teams' personnel departments and coaches.
Players are split, generally along geographic lines, into the North and South teams. The action will ramp-up this afternoon for the first of three days of intrasquad practices.
This is the 69th year for the annual college all-star game, which will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Ladd-Peebles Stadium and televised by NFL Network.
Here are six numbers of note about this year's participants, followed by rosters of both teams (rosters may have a few changes because of injuries by the end of the week):
4 — Four programs are being represented in the game for the first time (Army T Brett Toth, Brown DE/OLB Dewey Jarvis, Dubuque CB Michael Joseph and Fort Hays State DT Nathan Shepherd).
5 — Five of the eight quarterbacks invited this year transferred during their careers: Josh Allen (Reedley Community College to Wyoming), Kurt Benkert (East Carolina to Virginia), Tanner Lee (Tulane to Nebraska), Baker Mayfield (Texas Tech to Oklahoma) and Mike White (South Florida to Western Kentucky).
6 — The game again extended invitations to a handful of draft-eligible juniors who have graduated. The six players this year are Alabama CB Levi Wallace, Alabama P JK Scott, Alabama DE Da'Shawn Hand, Alabama C Bradley Bozeman, North Dakota State LB Nick DeLuca and North Carolina A&T T Brandon Parker.
8 — Indiana TE Ian Thomas has eight siblings who helped raise him in Baltimore after he tragically lost both parents within two years. Thomas' mother passed away on his eighth birthday because an abcess tooth led to kidney and liver failure. Less than two years later, his father died of a heart attack.
20 — Age of the youngest invitee, Western Michigan T Chukwuma Okorafor, who grew up playing soccer in Nigeria before immigrating to the United States
25 — Age of the oldest invitee, Central Florida TE Jordan Akins, a former minor league baseball player
