Tampa Bay, FL — [08/15/2025] — The Dream Bowl proudly announces the appointment of Antonio Nelson as its new Florida Regional Scout, a move that underscores the game’s commitment to identifying elite-level talent and building relationships within one of the most talent-rich regions in the country
Nelson’s rise in the scouting community has been nothing short of remarkable. Known for his sharp evaluation skills, relentless work ethic, and deep understanding of the game, he has established himself as one of the most prestigious up-and-coming scouts in the Florida–Tampa Bay region.

The Dream Bowl, played annually at AT&T Stadium, is recognized as one of the nation’s top postseason all-star games, providing a platform for small-school and underexposed athletes to showcase their abilities in front of professional scouts.
