From Georgia Tech Athletics:

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech defensive lineman Zeek Biggers (Salisbury, N.C./West Rowan H.S.) has received an invitation to participate in the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl. The 100th edition of Shrine Bowl, one of the nation’s most prestigious college football all-star games and pro football showcases, is set for Jan. 30, 2025 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.


Biggers, a 6-foot-6, 320-pound senior, has made 22-consecutive starts at defensive tackle for Georgia Tech, which leads the team’s defensive players and is tied for second on the squad overall. He leads the Yellow Jackets’ interior defensive linemen with 18 tackles in nine games this season, including 2.5 for loss. He’s also recovered a fumble.


In addition to being a key cog in Tech’s defense, Biggers is one of the Jackets’ top special teams performers with two blocked kicks this season and four in his career. His two blocked kicks this season are more than 96 of the 133 teams in NCAA Division I FBS have recorded.


Biggers would be the 29th Yellow Jacket to play in the Shrine Bowl since its inception in 1925 and the first since linebacker Charlie Thomas in 2023. Notable Shrine Bowl alumni include Tom Brady, John Elway and Walter Payton and Georgia Tech standouts Darren Waller (2014) and Darryl Smith (2003).


The 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl will be televised nationally on NFL Network.
