TicketsMOBILE, Ala. – Cincinnati linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. tallied a game-high 10 tackles to earn Defensive MVP honors and lead the National Team to a 27-10 victory in the Reese's Senior Bowl on Saturday at the University of South Alabama's Whitney Stadium.
Pace Jr. was joined by fellow Bearcats, tight end Josh Whyle and wide receiver Tre Tucker, on the victorious National squad at the annual all-star game for likely NFL prospects.
Whyle had one catch for 13 yards, while Tucker had one grab for 18 yards to go along with a 12-yard rush.
For Pace Jr., who was a late selection for the game, it concluded a remarkable final collegiate season. The Cincinnati native and Colerain High School alum finished in the Top 10 in the nation in tackles (137), tackles for loss (21.5) and sacks (10) en route to becoming the Bearcats' first-ever unanimous All-American.
Pace Jr. played only one season for the Bearcats after transferring from Miami (Ohio), but he made the most of it and is poised – along with Whyle and Tucker – to play football at the next level.
Next up, the trio, along with several other Bearcats, will participate in the NFL Scouting Combine, which will run from March 2 to 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
