Auburn University football players Brandon Mosley and Josh Harris have been selected to compete in the Jan. 28 Senior Bowl.
Played annually in Mobile, Ala., the Senior Bowl is open to players showing exceptional talent and those who have promising outlooks for their NFL careers.
"We're excited to have both Brandon and Josh here representing Auburn later this month in the Senior Bowl," said Steve Hale, Senior Bowl president and CEO. "They have both had great careers and are considered to be top prospects at their respective positions."
Offensive tackle Mosley, originally from Jefferson, Ga., was named All-State for Jefferson High School. Mosley went on to play at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas where he caught the eye of the Auburn coaching staff.
Mosley then moved to Auburn and became a key figure in the 2010 National Championship run, starting in 11 of the season's 14 games.
"I came in playing offensive tackle for the first time ever two years ago," Mosely said. "Coach Grimes, coach Malzahn and coach Chizik did an awesome job in preparing me and teaching me what I needed to know to get to the next level."
Mosley holds one season memory close to his heart.
"Beating Georgia was a great memory," Mosley said. "I grew up in Dawg country and grew up a fan, and I converted last year. Other than the BCS national title, it was great to be able to win with all the guys and build relationships with them."
During Harris' time at Auburn, he fought for playing time as a walk-on deep snapper and was rewarded with a scholarship in August 2010. Harris was involved in some historic plays, including handling the game-winning snap for the game-winning field goal by Wes Byrum in the 2010 BCS National Championship.
"It's just really a blessing," Harris said. "My time at Auburn was incredible. As a walk-on I just never thought I'd end up in this position to now be able to try to fulfill a childhood dream of mine and play in the NFL and this will be a great opportunity to get that exposure."
