It’s that time of year, when outgoing college football players with eyes on the next level that aren’t first-round NFL Draft locks look for the appropriate showcase for NFL scouts.

In Ann Arbor, we’ve already seen TE Sean McKeon select the Reese’s Senior Bowl as his post-Michigan bowl game showcase of choice, but what about the others?

Well, one Wolverines standout found his destination.

While he might be a household name to Michigan fans, cornerback Lavert Hill might not be quite as well-known nationally. That’s because he’s so rarely targeted, given his proficiency in press-man coverage, that his name often can go games between mentions. However, the two-time All-Big Ten first-team defensive back is looking to improve his draft stock, and has selected the East West Shrine Bowl as his showcase of choice, the game announced on Twitter on Thursday.

But he’s not alone.

Team captain and Wolverines VIPER Khaleke Hudson is set to join him January 18, 2020 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Hudson had a bounce back year at the hybrid linebacker position, finishing with a team-leading 96 tackles, to go along with 3 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

That’s not all, however.

Thought McKeon was sticking to just the Reese’s Senior Bowl? Looks like the Wolverines standout TE will be pulling double-duty, participating in the Shrine Bowl in Florida before heading to Mobile, Alabama the following week for the next showcase.

As of now, the maize and blue look to be better represented in the Florida showcase than the Alabama one. However, there’s still plenty of time for the cadre of seniors to select their desired post-collegiate bowl game.

The Shrine Game will air at 3PM EST on January 18, 2020 on NFL Network.
