ISU draft prospects slated for Senior Bowl
January 17, 2012
Cornerback Leonard Johnson and offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele have formally accepted their invitations to the 2012 Senior Bowl, which will be played on Jan. 28 in Mobile, Ala.
Johnson and Osemele, both four-year starters for the ISU football team, will compete for the North squad, which is coached by the coaching staff of the Minnesota Vikings.
“It’s been four years since we’ve had any [ISU] players in our game,” said Senior Bowl President and CEO Steve Hale in a news release. “We feel like we’ve got two outstanding NFL prospects in Leonard and Kelechi.”
Osemele started 44 consecutive games for the Cyclones and was named a 2011 First-Team All-American by Sports Illustrated.
Johnson accumulated 177 total tackles and four interceptions in his four seasons as a starting cornerback for the Cyclones.
