MOBILE, Ala. – When big time players make big time plays in big time games, they get noticed.
That's exactly what happened to Bilal Nichols, who had a sensation week at last week's East West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla. His efforts garnered more attention from NFL organizations, which landed him another chance to display his talents at the prestigious Reese's Senior Bowl on January 27.
He becomes the fifth Blue Hen in program history to earn a Senior Bowl invitation, joining Dennis Johnson ('73), Ben Patrick ('07), Joe Flacco ('08) and Nick Boyle ('15).
Nichols finished his career as an All-American and three-time All-CAA selection played in 44 career games with 21 starts and recorded 104 tackles (50 solo), 10.5 sacks, 16.5 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, two interceptions, and 10 pass breakups.
The game will be shown live on NFL Network at 2:30 p.m. from Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala.
