Top Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. has accepted an invitation to play in the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl game.

The Shrine Bowl is an annual collegiate all-star game that showcases the top senior football players from across the country. The event offers a platform for professional hopefuls to showcase their skill sets to league scouts ahead of the draft.

Coleman marked his final in-season collegiate game this past weekend with the Tigers' loss to Virginia in the Gator Bowl. In his lone year with Missouri, he led the team in receptions and yards. Coleman added 66 receptions for 732 receiving yards in his senior campaign.

After previous stints at Jackson State, Louisville and Mississippi State, Coleman finished his career with 2,501 receiving yards, 198 catches and 12 touchdown grabs. He is expected to be taken in the mid-to-late rounds, offering teams a set of sure hands and big-play capabilities.

Mizzou Quote of the Day

“Being the 20th strikeout in Roger Clemens 20-strikeout game in 1986, I’m not the least bit ashamed of that. There’s a saying that when somebody makes history, it’s always gonna be at the expense of someone. Roger’s stuff was electrifying that night.”
Phil Bradley
