Bowl Alumni Shine in 2012 Senior Bowl

The North won the 2012 Senior Bowl 23-13 with solid performances from several O-D Bowl Alumni. Offensively, Texas A&M wide receiver Jeff Fuller hauled in three catches for 19 yards.

Defensively, the game saw impressive performances from several past O-D Bowl participants. Texas linebacker Keenan Robinson had three tackles while Washington defensive tackle Alameda Ta’amu finished with two stops, including two behind the line of scrimmage. Georgia cornerback Brandon Boykin finished with one tackle.

The star of the O-D Bowl Alumni was Oklahoma cornerback Jamell Fleming who had four tackles, one forced fumble, and an interception.

Nick Toon and Cyrus Gray did not play in the game due to injury after being previously named to the squad. Georgia lineman Cordy Glenn and Cal PA linemen Rishaw Johnson both saw extensive time in the game. Glenn played guard while Johnson played some center and guard.

Offense-Defense has more representatives selected than any of the other prestigious all-star games with nine total picked for the game.

"We could not be more proud of the performances of our past players, "said Offense-Defense President Rick Whittier, "We expect to see them all have productive careers in the NFL."
