Over the past few years, WWE has gone all in when it comes to recruiting young college athletes. Every few months, WWE holds tryouts and hands out contracts to deserving participants and it looks like WWE is holding another one of its tryouts this week.

ESPN reported that former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant and former Baylor Basketball player Mark Vital will be among the current and former college athletes set to try out with WWE this week.

It was also reported that a total of 50 participants, 26 women and 24 men, will be partaking in the tryouts with potential contracts being given out at the end of this week. The participants trying out represent 37 schools and 13 sports, with football being the largest group for the men and track and field being the largest contingent for the women.

Apart from the above-mentioned names, the tryouts are set to feature other prominent college athletes such as ex-Oklahoma linebacker Caleb Kelly, former Oregon State linebacker Kyrei Fisher-Morris, former Baylor track star Morgan Stewart, All-Mountain West track honorees Breanna Covington and Kase Ebb.
