McCaleeb to play in Senior Bowl

Former Auburn running back Onterio McCalebb confirmed he will be playing in the Senior Bowl in Mobile on Jan. 26. It will be the third straight week McCalebb, who is a member of the “Stars” team along with John Sullen and Daren Bates for Saturday’s Raycom College Football All-Star Classic at Cramton Bowl, takes part in an all-star game.

He had seven carries for 38 yards and a 16-yard reception in last week’s Casino Del-Sol All-Star Game.

McCalebb, who had 94 carries for 570 yards with six touchdowns and 18 receptions for 132 yards in addition to his 23 kick returns for 523 yards with a touchdown this season, joins former Tigers tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen on the Senior Bowl roster. Lutzenkirchen will not be able to play as he continues to recover from hip surgery which ended his senior season prematurely.

Alabama’s Nico Johnson, Robert Lester, Carson Tinker – who also in town for Saturday’s game, Michael Williams and Barrett Jones will also be at the Senior Bowl. Jones won’t play due to a foot injury.

AL.com first reported McCalebb had been added to the roster.
