Terry Chosen to Play in NFLPA Collegiate Bowl

Kent State’s Jacquise Terry (Phenix City, Ala.) has been selected to play in the AstroTurf NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl Saturday at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles.  Terry becomes the second Kent State senior to play in an all-star game this season following Ish Kitchen’s appearance in the Casino Del Sol All-Star Game this past Monday.

With over 2,300 yards of career offense (1,721 rushing, 612 receiving) and 18 total touchdowns, Terry also recently earned Academic All-MAC honors for the third time in his career.

Under the direction of Super Bowl-winning coaches Tom Flores and Dick Vermeil, 100 of the country’s top draft prospects will showcase their talent Saturday.  For one week preceding the AstroTurf NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, pro football players and coaching legends work with the game’s future stars, giving them first-hand insight on what it takes to win on and off of the field. Flores and Vermeil will provide the players with elite-level practices and playbooks and the players will interact with the community through youth clinics and more. 

The Golden Flashes closed out the 2011 season by winning four of their final five games.  Kent State will announce its incoming class on Feb. 1, when season tickets go on sale.    For ticket information, call 330-672-2244.
