The 6-6, 335 lb senior from Huntsville, AL, transferred to the Cowboys from the now defunct (but soon-to-be again) UAB football program. Salako has since started for two straight seasons at left tackle and has been a part of the Cowboys’ best offensive line in years.

As for Jarwin, he has been one of the most productive tight ends during the Gundy era since Brandon Pettigrew. Since OSU has re-kindled a focus to get the Cowboy back involved in the offense again, Jarwin has been integral to that transition, earning All Big 12 first team honors a season ago. As a former walk-on, he’ll have a shot in the game to showcase his skills in front of scouts in attendance during practices and the game.

The East-West Shrine Game is one of the country’s premier collegiate all-star games. It will be held in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Jan. 21, 2017.

James Castleman was the last OSU player to participate in this game back in 2015.
