Ohio State wide receiver Austin Mack accepts invite to play in Senior Bowl

Graduating senior Austin Mack has accepted an invitation to join four other Buckeyes in this year’s Senior Bowl.

We’ve got another Ohio State graduating senior that’s accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl. Wide receiver Austin Mack will be joining DaVon Hamilton, Malik Harrison, Jonah Jackson, and K.J. Hill in Mobile, Alabama next Saturday, January 25 to showcase their skills to NFL scouts and executives.

Mack has an unbelievable skill set, but was a bit besieged by injury during his time at Ohio State. Now he gets one more opportunity to show off on the national stage.

And don’t take it lightly. Many outgoing seniors have significantly improved their stock after taking part in the practices and workouts leading up to the game. Then there’s the game itself in a setting against other all-star caliber players. One only needs to look at the story of former Ohio State wide receiver Terry McLaurin who sold himself to the Washington Redskins largely because of what he did in last season’s event.

He has now separated himself as one of the more dangerous pass-catchers in the league as a rookie and doesn’t show signs of slowing down.

With five total Buckeyes now in the game, it could be fun to see some more college football before it all comes goes on hiatus until the Spring Game rolls around.
