Lawrence Wilson Shines at Senior Bowl

South squad quarterback Greg McElroy (12) of Alabama, reacts as running back Noel Devine (27) of West Virginia, scores a touchdown as the North's Lawrence Wilson (48) of Connecticut, defends in the first half of the Senior Bowl NCAA college football game.

While Scouts, Inc. didn’t mention former UConn Huskies linebacker Lawrence Wilson in its game blog or buzz (ESPN Insider links) from after the Under Armour Senior Bowl on Saturday afternoon in Wilson’s home state of Alabama, I thought that he played a pretty good game. 

Sure in the above photo, he wasn’t able to make the tackle but he finished the game with six tackles (four solo) as his North squad fell 24-10 to the South. Out of both teams, only Mason Foster (8) of the Washington Huskies, Kendric Burney (7) of the North Carolina Tar Heels and Greg Jones (7) of the Michigan State Spartans finished with more.

Wilson will get a couple off more chances to show his skills to the NFL scouts when during the NFL Combine in late February and when UConn holds it’s Pro Day some time in March.
