First Owl selected since 2014
Rice wide receiver Luke McCaffrey has accepted an invitation to play in the 2024 Reese's Senior Bowl, which will be played in Mobile, Alabama on February 3 and broadcast nationally on NFL Network.
A consensus All-American Athletic Conference selection in 2023, McCaffrey led the conference and was sixth nationally with 13 touchdown receptions, and was third in the ACC in all-purpose yards per play (12.8), fourth in receptions (71) and sixth in receiving yards (993). His 13 touchdowns are tied with James Casey for the fourth-most in a season at Rice while his yardage total ranks fifth and his 71 receptions are seventh. In two seasons as a wide receiver, McCaffrey closed his career ranked third in touchdown receptions (19), eighth in receptions (129), and ninth in yards (1,672).
He is the first Owl to be invited to the Senior Bowl since Chris Boswell in 2014 and the first wide receiver invited since Bert Emanuel in 1994.
The 2024 Reese's Senior Bowl will kick off at 12 p.m. on February 3, and will include a halftime ceremony honoring the 75th Anniversary Team.
The longest continual-running all-star game, Reese's Senior Bowl is widely regarded as the preeminent college football all-star game and the first stage in the NFL Draft process. The 2023 Senior Bowl featured 100 total picks for the third straight year, representing 40 percent of the entire NFL draft, including 40 selected on the first two days.
