Former Carroll standout and current Clemson defensive back R.J. Mickens has been selected to play in the 100th East-West Shrine Bowl Jan. 30 at AT&T Stadium.
The Shrine Bowl has been played for more than 90 years, doubling not only as a college football all-star game but also as a beneficiary of Shriners Children, a healthcare system that provides free medical care to children with a range of conditions.
Mickens, a Clemson captain, officially declared for the 2024 NFL Draft in December after playing in 60 games for the Tigers from 2020-2024. He recorded 229 tackles, seven interceptions, 15 pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 2,174 career snaps.
