Brett Harrison
PBR Scouting Director

The West Coast Games has quickly established itself premier event for Uncommitted rising upperclassmen on the West Coast, this event will give an unparalleled opportunity to each player in attendance by delivering a “one-stop-shop” for college coaches to recruit in the city of Las Vegas. Beyond the on-looking eyes of scouts and coaches, PBR’s unmatched coverage and commitment to elevating players via advanced metrics and technology (Trackman, Blast, Driveline), along with multiple social media platforms, will provide elite exposure for each player in attendance.

For the first time, PBR Idaho will be represented at the West Coast Games where they will compete against California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Pacific Northwest and Canada. The Gem State has proven they have the present talent in the 2023 and 2024 Classes to compete against the rest of the West Region and this event will prove that as we assemble an exciting group of Idaho prospects.
