NEW ORLEANS – Sun Belt football programs will be well-represented in the first of four collegiate all-star games on Saturday. 
 
Six alums will compete in the 80th annual Altrua HealthShare Hula Bowl at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium in DeLand, Fla., at 12:00 p.m. ET/11:00 a.m. CT on Saturday, Jan. 10. The game will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network. 
 
The group includes five All-Sun Belt honorees from 2025, headlined by a pair of All-Sun Belt First Team performers in Georgia Southern senior wide receiver Camden Brown and Southern Miss redshirt senior defensive back Josh Moten. Brown—the first 1,000-yard receiver in Eagles program history—was also the Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year after transferring in from Auburn. 
 
All-Sun Belt Second Team pick James Madison senior defensive back Jacob Thomas; All-Sun Belt Honorable Mentions Southern Miss redshirt senior quarterback Braylon Braxton and Texas State redshirt senior defensive back Jaden Rios; and Marshall redshirt senior defensive back Cam Smith also made the trip to DeLand. 
 
Sun Belt standouts will also feature in the upcoming Trillion Tropical Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 18; East-West Shrine Bowl on Tuesday, Jan. 27; and Panini Senior Bowl on Saturday, Jan. 31. Complete rosters have yet to be announced for these events.  
 
The Sun Belt has produced multiple NFL Draft selections in 21-of-24 drafts since it began sponsoring football in 2001, with four of its six highest NFL Draft totals coming over the past six seasons. The Sun Belt registered a conference-record nine selections in 2023, seven draftees in 2020 and six picks in 2022 and 2024. The Sun Belt has tallied six-or-more draft picks on six occasions all-time (2010, 2012, 2020, 2022, 2023 & 2024). 
 
Linebacker Mike Green—the 2024 Sun Belt Player of the Year—was a second round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in last year’s NFL Draft. Green appeared in all 17 games during the 2025-26 regular season, tallying 41 tackles, seven tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble as a rookie. 
 
Defensive back Car’lin Vigers out of ULM—an undrafted free agent pickup by the Washington Commanders—and defensive back JJ Roberts out of Marshall—an undrafted free agent signee by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—earned NFL roster spots this season after competing in last year’s Hula Bowl.
