MOBILE, Ala. -- University of Delaware All-American tight end Nick Boyle will become just the fourth player in Blue Hens history to take part in the prestigious Reese's Senior Bowl this week.
Delaware fans will have the chance to follow Nick every step of the way throughout the week on Twitter @nickboyle86 using the hashtag #BoyleAtSeniorBowl.
Nick will arrive in Mobile, Ala. on Sunday and take part in practice sessions (beginning Tuesday) in front of scouts from every NFL team leading up to the game on Saturday, Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. (ET) at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. The game will be televised live on the NFL Network.
Nick will be posting tweets, blogs, and photos all week long chronicling his experience at practice and at fan events, and his interaction with other college football standouts.
Dave Brock. “This is such a great opportunity to go up against some of the best players in the country and show what I can do. I'm looking forward to a great experience. I owe so much to my teammates and my coaches for making me the player and the person that I am. I have had such a great experience here at Delaware and it's a special feeling to know that when I head down there I will represent all of Delaware.”Boyle capped an outstanding career as a three-year starter in 2014 as he became the most prolific pass-catching tight end in Delaware history. As a senior this fall, he caught 37 passes for 304 yards and a team-high four touchdowns and earned first team All-Colonial Athletic Association honors in addition to being named to The Sports Network and Beyond Sports Network All-American teams. His 101 career receptions is a Delaware record for tight ends while his 984 pass receiving yards and 12 touchdowns both rank No. 2 all-time among UD tight ends.
“This is exciting not only for Nick but for Delaware football,” said Brock. “He is the prototypical NFL tight end. He has the ability to play on the line and block and he has the skill set to play in the passing game. We are excited for Nick ro represent the Delaware football program. We wish him luck.”
