University of Hawai'i all-purpose back Calvin Turner Jr., has accepted an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl, America's longest-running college football all-star game.
 
The Shrine Bowl will be played Feb. 3, 2022, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev., as part of NFL Pro Bowl week. Turner will be the 22^nd former Rainbow Warrior to compete in the all-star game and first since Dejon Allen in 2018.
 
The Savannah, Ga., native played two seasons at Hawai'i and earned second-team all-Mountain West honors twice. This season, Turner led the Warriors in all-purpose yards (1,523), touchdowns (12), and receptions (73) and ranked second in receiving yards (876). He scored at least one touchdown in 16 of 22 career games played, which included several highlight reel plays that garnered national attention.
