YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University senior defensive back DaQuan Pace (Detroit, Mich.-Cass Tech) will take part in the 2017 College Gridiron Showcase & Symposium, Jan. 7-11, in Bedford, Texas. A college football all-star event for all divisions, players will receive professional coaching, mentoring, life coaching and seminars that will benefit them as they move forward in their professional lives in or out of football.
Pace wrapped up his stellar EMU career as the career pass breakup leader with 28 career interruptions. This season, the cornerback finished with 50 total tackles and a team-high three interceptions, as well as a team-best nine breakups. His three picks ranked fifth in the MAC, as well as 64th in the country, while his 11 passes defended were tied for ninth in the MAC. A staple in the secondary in his four-year career, Pace finished his career tied for fifth in games played with 47 appearances for Eastern.
The CGS provides exposure and education for top college senior football players from around the country. The players are selected by a panel of football experts. Players will come in for five days and four nights to be evaluated by professional football league scouts.
The format showcases the player through practices and a controlled scrimmage to scouts and executives from top professional leagues such as the NFL and CFL. The players also attend meetings, practice, perform individual drills, 1-on-1's, team drills and in many cases have personal interviews with the scouts and executives from these professional clubs.
