A dozen more talented seniors from across the nation have accepted invitations to next month’s Reese’s Senior Bowl. 

 

Among the latest 12 to add their name to the roster: LSU offensive lineman La’el Collins, an All-SEC first team selection who was voted the team’s Most Valuable Player by his teammates; West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White, one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation’s top wide receiver; and Florida State’s Nick O’Leary, the winner of the 2014 Mackey Award, given to college football’s top tight end.

 

"This group of players represents a cross-reference of outstanding play at almost every position,” said Reese’s Senior Bowl Executive Director Phil Savage. “From QB Garrett Grayson to TE Nick O'Leary and WR's Kevin White and Tyler Lockett, there is quality offensive skill talent that is matched with the pass rush ability of Markus Golden and two terrific defensive backs in Doran Grant and Kevin White of TCU."

 

The dozen players added to the roster today pushes the total number of accepted invites to 86. 

 

The Reese’s Senior Bowl has invited 110 players to fill the rosters of the North and South squads for this year’s game. Practices are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, January 20, 2015. The game is set to kickoff at 3 p.m. CT on Saturday, January 24 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile. 

 

All of the practices and the game will be televised by NFL Network.

 

Announcements of accepted invites will first be made on Twitter (@seniorbowl) and on our Facebook page every Monday through mid-January.
