DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — Hundreds of professional football scouts were in attendance at the recent SPIRAL Tropical Bowl, a college football all-star game showcasing the top NFL prospects in the nation.
Among the many athletes hoping to catch the eye of the scouts was former Pendleton Heights High School standout Skyler Prol, a Southern University and A&M College offensive lineman.
Prol graduated in 2013 from Pendleton Heights, where he lettered in wrestling, track and field and football.
He received a full-ride football scholarship to Southern University and A&M College, a Division I Football Championship Series university in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Prol, at 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, was among fewer than 150 players nationwide invited to take part in the college all-star game.
Since 2016, more than 110 players from the game have gone on to play in the NFL, Canadian Football League and Pro Arena leagues.
The Tropical Bowl is considered a top-four bowl game by professional scouts, according to a press release from bowl officials. The game is attended by almost every NFL team, consistently seeing 27 teams’ scouts and general managers in attendance.
