The Shriners Children’s East-West Bowl Hall of Fame is home to some of the greatest names ever to play the game. Each year, past players are selected to join this elite club. Candidates must have played in the Shriners Children’s East-West Bowl and have accomplished something significant in their career.
Daryl Johnston represented Syracuse while playing for the East team in the 64th Shriners Children’s East-West Bowl in 1989, was drafted 39th overall by the Cowboys and went on to win three Super Bowls. He now serves as President of Football Operations for the United Football League (UFL) and works as an NFL on FOX color commentator.
“Playing in the East-West Shrine Bowl in 1989 was a pivotal moment in my journey to the NFL, and it’s incredible to see how the game has continued to grow while staying true to its mission of supporting Shriners Children’s,” said Johnston. “Being inducted into the Shrine Bowl Hall of Fame during the 101st edition of this historic game, right here at the Cowboys’ headquarters in Frisco, makes it even more meaningful. I look forward to celebrating with the fans and watching the next generation of players showcase their talent.”
