East-West Shrine Game 2014 rosters: Future draft picks battle in St. Petersburg

The 2014 East-West Shrine Game will take place on Saturday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The longest-running all-star game in college football showcases talent preparing for the NFL Draft in May. This game allows for scouts, teams and fans to get a close look at possible NFL players. Another benefit of the game is that small-school prospects are spotlighted for fans who might not have known about them prior to the draft process.

The East roster features three quarterbacks from small schools. However, Eastern Illinois passer Jimmy Garoppolo has received some draft buzz recently, has a third-round projection from CBS Sports and is the 10th-ranked quarterback on SB Nation's list. Garoppolo led all FCS schools with 5,050 passing yards and 53 touchdowns this season.

Garoppolo's top wide receivers for Saturday's game will be Coastal Carolina's Matt Hazel and Michigan's Jeremy Gallon. Gallon is considered a seventh-round pick, while Hazel is projected as a priority free agent by CBS Sports. Gallon is actually ranked 18th on SB Nation's wide receiver list.

On defense, the guy to watch may be safety Tre Boston of North Carolina. While he is currently projected to be a late-round pick, Boston collected 94 tackles, five interceptions and eight passes defended this season. He is the type of athlete who could improve his stock on Saturday.

Led by former Chiefs and Browns head coach Romeo Crennel, the West roster features some heavy talent. The top passer for the team is Washington's Keith Price, who received an All-Pac-12 honorable mention this season. A bit undersized at 6'1, Price was still able to compile 73 touchdowns and just 30 interceptions in his three seasons as a starter for the Huskies.

A receiving option for Price will be Indiana's Ted Bolser, another draftable talent with 6'6 size who had a pretty solid year with the Hoosiers. He finished his college career with 1,337 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in four seasons.

On defense, Arizona State safety Alden Darby is a player to watch. A sixth-round projection, per CBS Sports, Darby had a terrific season for the Sun Devils, collecting 72 tackles, four interceptions and nine passes defended. He will likely line up next to Washington safety Sean Parker, who has also just closed out a standout season with the Huskies.
