All-Star Showcase Game Tickets
Naples, FL — The Paradise Coast Sports Complex will host the National Scouting Combine College All-Star Showcase Game, concluding the 2026 National Scouting Combine. The event brings together approximately 130 draft-eligible college athletes, each aiming to showcasetheir skills and make their mark at the professional level.
 

“The National Scouting Combine was built for athletes who just missed the cut for top-tier events like the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine,” said Jimmy Kibble, CEO & Founder. “Now, as we approach our 15th annual event, it’s rewarding to see how far we’ve come — continually raising the standard and expanding opportunities for the next generation of professional athletes.”

The All-Star Showcase is designed to give every participant maximum exposure, allowing scouts and coaches to evaluate talent across multiple positions and scenarios. Jesse Heninger, Director of Marketing, said: “The All-Star Showcase gives these athletes a chance to compete at the highest level and be evaluated on every aspect of their game. Our goal is to provide an experience that mirrors professional standards, while giving each player the exposure they need to take the next step in their career.”

Alec Hankins, Director of College Scouting, added: “The All-Star Game represents the best of what these athletes bring to the field. This event is about showcasing the next generation of talent and giving them a stage to compete.”

Over the years, the NSC has produced numerous professional athletes across the NFL, CFL, UFL, IFL, AF1, and international leagues. Devin Adams, a former NSC participant and current Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive tackle, returned in 2025 as a Combine coach. “The National Scouting Combine was nothing short of amazing… the environment was electric, the staff was on point, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget,” he said. Jay Wilson, Director of Player Personnel, emphasized, “The All-Star Showcase is where raw potential meets real opportunity. Every year, someone surprises us. Every year, someone earns their shot. That’s what this game is all about.”

 

The 2026 event marks the second consecutive year in Naples at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, a stadium-quality facility located steps from the Great Wolf Lodge of Naples, providing a professional and convenient experience for athletes, families, and fans alike.
