EVANSTON, Ill. -- Senior offensive lineman Dylan Thiry (Louisville, Ky./Trinity) has been selected to play in the Texas vs. The Nation Collegiate All-Star Bowl Feb. 2, 2008, at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.
The game pits top collegiate players originally from Texas or who played their college ball in Texas against top players from around the nation. Thiry will play for The Nation team, which features Buddy Ryan and a full NFL coaching staff.
Thiry started 34 games in his Northwestern career, helping pave the way for a pair of 1,000-yard rushing years by Tyrell Sutton in 2005-06. Last season, Thiry helped the Northwestern offense to the top of the Big Ten in passing with 307.9 yards through the air per game.
The Texas vs. The Nation Senior All-Star Bowl is slated for a 4 p.m. CT kickoff on Feb. 2, and will be televised on CSTV. For more information, visit texasvsthenation.com.
