BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State offensive lineman Colby Gossett has accepted an invitation to play in the prestigious Senior Bowl on Jan. 27 in Mobile, Ala.
The Reese's Senior Bowl will be held at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, where Gossett's illustrious App State career ended with a 34-0 victory against Toledo in the Dollar General Bowl on Dec. 23. The postseason all-star game will be shown on the NFL Network at 2:30 p.m. ET on the last Saturday in January.
Last year, 85 players from the Senior Bowl were drafted by NFL teams. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Gossett joins receiver Brian Quick, who was a second-round draft pick in 2012, and receiver Dexter Jackson, who was a second-round pick in 2008, as App State players to participate in the Senior Bowl.
