The list names the best 1,000 players throughout all of college football who are currently all-star game eligible for the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl and the 2026 NFL Draft
 TAMPA, Fla. – Veteran quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi was named to the East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 watchlist, which names the best 1,000 players throughout all of college football who are currently all-star game eligible for the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl and the 2026 NFL Draft.
Â
As one of the more veteran quarterbacks in the Mountain West and even the country, the play caller has played in 28 games – all for Colorado State. The redshirt junior made his first start as a true freshman against Nevada along with recording head coach Norvell's first victory in the Green and Gold.
Â
Fowler-Nicolosi has many program records in reach this season, including pass completions, passing yards and total offense. But arguably the most important milestone is quarterback wins, sitting at 14 with Hall of Famer Bradlee Van Pelt at 23 (since 1993).
Â
The 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl will take place on Jan. 27, 2026 at Ford Center at The Star, Frisco, Texas.
