“I just wanted to reach out and say a huge thank you again for everything you and the Dream Bowl has done for me. Not only was it a great experience but it truly gave me the confidence I needed in pursuit of my dream to play in the NFL playing with many great players who are now in the CFL and NFL. I just recently sign with an NFL agent out of New York City and I’m the first division 3 kid he has ever worked with and now I’m training in Orlando with coach Tom Shaw one of the greats and everyone asks me what was one of the best things I did to get me to this point and I always tell them playing in two big all star games most especially the Dream Bowl. This is a great cause and a great game and I look forward to keeping up with this game for years to come and see the great things it does for athletes all over the country! Hope all is well! Thanks again!” -Brandon Fuentes, Dream Bowl IV
“The way I would describe the Dream Bowl to someone who is considering playing is that it is one best decisions you will make in your life. It was a great experience for me because I had my first NFL interview with the NYJ. It also was the best all star game I played in, I played in two other all star games besides this one. The game itself was ridiculously fun it was cold, windy, & crazy. I was a part of the first overtime game in Dream Bowl history, DREAM BOWL IV. #theexperienceDREAMBOWL

“The Dream Bowl was an awesome experience…if not one of the coolest events for football I’ve ever been apart of. I was so blessed to be a part of that game! The game was awesome but just getting to know all those guys all across the United States and how we all came together with our respective teams was just a cool thing to see. I’m still friends with most of the guys on my team and are able to catch up with those guys on social media. I will always be a big supporter of this event and will encourage other players to definitely try and play in this game. Just an awesome experience all the way around and Memories to last a life time!” -Jacob Potts, Dream Bowl IV
“The Dream Bowl was like the Super Bowl to me. Great players from around the country you get to practice and get to know. The practices were like game day. The intensity was always up. Meet a lot of great people and it gave me a reason to come back home to VA. All my family from DC and Maryland came out. I was interviewed by a NFL team and we won the game. I will never forget the Dream Bowl weekend experience. Wish I could do it all over again.” -Paul Dodson, Dream Bowl IV
