Blue-Grey All-American Bowl: Watch List (Defense)

With offers on the horizon, and the scholarship count on the verge increasing, Charly Timite is one of many well-known names on the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl Watch List, thanks in part to his participation at the brand’s Regional Combine.

Given the fact we’ve traveled all over the country this year to scout prospects in the Class of 2016 with our NFL veteran coaching staff, at NFL facilities from coast to coast mind you, we figured it was time to unveil the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl Watch List.

Most of the names you’ll find either attended the brand’s Regional Combine or Super Combine. Other individuals received an invite to one of the workouts, but unfortunately for whatever the reason, we’re unable to attend due to an injury or another prior commitment.

As most know, there are a pair of upcoming Blue-Grey All-American Bowls. The first one is East vs. West on Dec. 20 at Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium. The second encounter is North vs. South on Jan. 9 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Raymond James Stadium. Both big games will be broadcast on Fox Sports and the Impact Football Network.

In the meantime, prospects will soon be added to the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl Watch List and those individuals are among the nation’s many recruits being considered for a possible invite. Official announcements on some, but not all, the participants will be made in the next couple of months.

Editor’s note: Our team of scouts has done plenty of research and the list of upperclassmen recruits continues to grow. Moving forward, we’ll have a pair of stories on the athletes who recently made the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl Watch List. Follow this link for insight on the offensive side of the ball.
