The Senior Bowl showcases the top senior college talent prior to the NFL Draft
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University redshirt senior Brogan Roback (Maumee, Ohio-Toledo St. John's Jesuit) has been named to the Senior Bowl Watch List, announced Thursday, Aug. 24. The Senior Bowl is the premiere event for top senior college football players to showcase their talents prior to the NFL Draft.
Roback is one of 23 quarterbacks named to the 401-man watch list, as well as being one of just 18 Mid-American Conference players. Should Roback participate in the game he would be just the fourth EMU player to participate, joining Ron Johnson, L.J. Shelton, and Jason Jones.
The Ohio native is coming off his best season yet in the Green and White, throwing for 2,694 yards on 219 completions, to go along with 18 touchdowns. He was named MAC West Offensive Player of the Week three times, including after tossing a career-high 468 yards in EMU's win over Ball State, Nov. 8, to clinch bowl eligibility status.
For his storied EMU career, Roback comes in near the top in the Eastern record books for numerous categories, including ranking fifth in total offense (6,033), fourth in passing attempts (875), completions (500), and passing yards (5,763), and third in passing touchdowns (38).
The Senior Bowl will take place Saturday, Jan. 27 in Mobile, Ala. at Land-Peebles Stadium. The game, which will kickoff at 2:30 p.m., will air live on the NFL Network.
