In his first season in New Orleans, Louisiana, Tulane Green Wave's junior defensive back Caleb Ransaw was announced as a recipient of an invitation to the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl.
The athletic and speedy defender has proven to be one of the most electric and consistent athletes at the position in the American Athletic Conference in 2024.
After racking up over 80 total tackles for Troy from 2021-2023, Ransaw followed head coach Jon Sumrall to become the next superstar defensive back in the Green Wave secondary that has ruled over the conference over the last few years under the keen eyes of defensive back coach J.J. McCleskey.
