John Hightower/Boise St just dropped a beautifully placed 50 yard bomb that Kelly Bryant/ Missouri placed in his hands.

On the other hand, he had a pretty good return on a kickoff. On the other other hand, he fumbled twice (but neither were lost).

TE Parker Houston of #SanDiegoSate with another catch. Really like what Ives seen from him today. #ShrineBowl
— Jason DiRienzo (@allpurposescout) January 18, 2020
- Synopsis: Houston only tallied two catches for 17 yards in the game, but he made them count with one being a really nice touchdown. He opened some eyes during practices as well and his combo of blocking and redzone target make him the type of player NFL teams are looking for.
- Stock Report: Way UP
OL Daishawn Dixon (San Diego State)
- Twitter Buzz:
A lot of good one-on-one battles going on between Daishawn Dixon/SDSU and Raaquan Williams/Mich St going on.

Sounds like standouts from day 1 of Shrine are guys I've been talking about: Rodney Clemons, Bryce Huff, Daishawn Dixon, etc.

- Stock Report: UP
LB Kyahva Tezino (San Diego State)
- Twitter Buzz: No info found.

Luq Barcoo/SDSU and Keith Washington/WVU both struggling badly at the start of practice.

Luq Barcoo/SDSU is struggling-again. Slow in his transition, show limited speed and getting beat.
— Tony Pauline (@TonyPauline) January 14, 2020
- Synopsis: Barcoo was reported to struggle and be a step or two slower than many expected during 1-on-1s. He great season at SDSU still may carry him a bit, but he has a lot of work to do.
