TAMPA, Fla. – Monmouth University football running back Sone Ntoh has been selected to the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 List, the Shrine Bowl announced Tuesday.

The list is compiled from all four levels of football in consultation with NFL and college personnel to put together the best 1000 players for the NFL level, with the aim for the Shrine Bowl 1000 to serve as a look into the scouting process, as well as to begin to preview college players who are currently all-star game eligible for the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl and 2025 NFL Draft class.

Ntoh is one of 14 players from the Coastal Athletic Association recognized and his inclusion comes following Jaden Shirden's invitation to the 2024 Shrine Bowl as Monmouth's first-ever participant. 

Ntoh is entering his final season of eligibility after playing three seasons and graduating from Harvard in 2023. The running back made a big impact in Monmouth's backfield last year alongside Shirden. In his first season as a Hawk, Ntoh finished the regular season tied for the CAA lead with 14 rushing touchdowns. The Macungie, Pa. native earned Second Team All-CAA and Phil Steele Fourth Team FCS All-America honors after tallying 411 yards on 56 carries in 2023. Ntoh shined in a role that saw him as the primary back in short-yardage situations, though was able to flash his speed on a career-long 92-yard touchdown run versus Lehigh on Sept. 30 – the second-longest run in the CAA in 2023.

The 100th edition of the East-West Shrine Bowl will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on January 30, 2025 and broadcast live on NFL Network.
