If you thought that just SAM linebacker Josh Uche and tight end Sean McKeon would be the sole representatives for Michigan in the Reese’s Senior Bowl, think again.
On Tuesday, the NFL Draft showcase for league scouts featuring outgoing seniors revealed the full list of college football players who had accepted invites to participate in the Jan. 25 bowl game in Mobile, Alabama and the maize and blue are the second-most represented school on the list.
With five soon-to-be former players having accepted invites, it promises to be a maize and blue affair, with only the Utah Utes having more representatives with six.
The aforementioned Uche and McKeon were announced shortly after the culmination of the regular season as participants, but three more are joining.

Michigan QB Shea Patterson accepted his invitation to participate, meaning that, like McKeon, he’ll be going straight from the East-West Shrine Bowl in Florida directly to the Reese’s Senior Bowl the following week.
Also participating in the prestigious all-star game will be safety Josh Metellus and left guard Ben Bredeson.
But first, naturally, the five have one more game to play in maize and blue, with the VRBO Citrus Bowl coming up Jan. 1 vs. Alabama.
The Reese’s Senior Bowl kicks off at 1:30PM CT at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile on Jan. 25. The game will be televised on NFL Network.
