Senior Bowl Showcases Less-Heralded Prospects Along With Big Names

Filed under: ,

Senior Bowl 2011Saturday's Under Armour Senior Bowl will feature many of the nation's top senior college football players in a North-against-South format.

Fans will certainly recognize established talents and their schools, such as quarterbacks Jake Locker of Washington and Greg McElroy of Alabama; offensive lineman Gabe Carimi of Wisconsin and defensive end Ryan Kerrigan of Purdue.

Quick, have you ever heard of Brandon Fusco? Or Slippery Rock University?

"I never really pictured myself being here, but I worked hard through my senior season to be here, so I am very excited about the opportunity and very blessed by the opportunity," Fusco told the media earlier this week.

Fusco was one of three small-school players from Division II teams invited to play in the 62nd annual Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

The other two players are Southern Arkansas defensive lineman Cedric Thornton and receiver Edmund Gates from Abilene Christian. Gates was injured in practice and won't play.
