A month after leading the Kansas State Wildcats to victory in the Texas Bowl, Skylar Thompson and Russ Yeast were able to put their talents on display for NFL scouts in the 97th East-West Shrine Bowl yesterday. Yeast started at safety for the East squad, making several important tackles and showing well in coverage throughout the game. Skylar Thompson came in at QB for the West squad after halftime, and threw a touchdown pass and a beautiful fade pass for the 2-pt conversion on his opening drive (where he went a perfect 4-4 passing), and then led his squad down for what would end up being the game-winning score later in the game.
