Naquan Jones announced a few days ago that he accepted an invite to play in the 2021 Hula Bowl. It looks like accepting that invite paid off, and perhaps  has raised his draft stock. Jones was on the winning side as Team Kai defeated Team ‘Aina 15-13.

Late in the second quarter on a big third down, Jones lined up across from the right guard. Payton Ramsay, Northwestern quarterback, hiked the ball and Jones used a swim move to get to the outside of right guard Braylon Jones. Ramsey moved up in the pocket and Jones spun back around and was able to get to Ramsey for the sack.

It’s these types of play shows why Jones should be playing on Sundays in 2021 and beyond.

Two Ohio State players heading to Hula Bowl

Two Ohio State players are heading to Hawaii to take part in the Hula Bowl to showcase their talents for the NFL Draft.

Two Ohio State players have agreed to play in the Hula Bowl in January. The Hula Bowl, much like the Senior Bowl, is an invite-only showcase for college football players heading to the draft. It is located in Hawaii and has been around since 1960. With players starting to get invites to the bowls to improve draft stock, this now makes four confirmed Buckeyes heading to the two bowls.

Earlier we reported Tuf Borland and Trey Sermon heading to the Reese’s Senior Bowl. It is now been confirmed that Thayer Munford and Jonathon Cooper will be taking part in the Hula Bowl. Both players are trying to improve their draft stock and playing against other top college players will certainly help.
