MOBILE, Ala. — South Alabama wide receivers Marvin Shinn and Danny Woodson II have been named to the 2016 Senior Bowl watch list, it was announced Tuesday.
The watch list includes more than 350 college players from across the country. Only 110 will be selected for the two rosters for the all-star game, which will be played Jan. 30, 2016, at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile.
Marvin Shinn
Shinn enters his second season with the Jaguars after an injury limited his junior season to seven catches for 173 yards.
His longest play of 2014 came in his South Alabama debut against Kent State, a 58-yard gain in the second quarter that set up a touchdown and a 16-0 lead in the Jaguars’ season-opening win. His 24.7 yards per catch led all South Alabama players with more than one reception.
Danny Woodson II
Woodson enters his third season at South Alabama. Last season he started seven games and caught 30 passes for 382 yards and four touchdowns.
In the Jaguars’ first bowl appearance, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, Woodson set career highs with six catches for 122 yards. He also caught an 18-yard touchdown pass with just over four minutes remaining to lift South Alabama past Georgia State.
In 2013, Woodson had 26 receptions for 439 yards and four touchdowns in eight games before a season-ending injury.
Among School Leaders
Woodson begins his final season ranked in the top 10 in South Alabama history in three categories: sixth in receptions with 56, sixth in receiving yards with 821 and fourth in touchdown catches with eight.
Senior Bowl History
Wide receiver Courtney Smith was the first South Alabama player selected for the Senior Bowl, playing in the 2011 game in Mobile.
