Wyoming QB Allen invited to combine
Former Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen has been invited to participate in the NFL Combine.
Allen has been projected by some analysts to be the No. 1 selection in April’s NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-5, 233-pound Allen started the last two seasons at Wyoming where he passed for 5,066 yards and 44 touchdowns.
He recently competed in the Senior Bowl, completing 9 of 13 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. He was named the Most Outstanding Player for the North team, which lost 45-16.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports he is one of 10 players from the Mountain West Conference invited to participate in the combine, which takes place Feb. 27-March 5 in Indianapolis.
Quarterbacks are scheduled for on-field workouts on March 3.
Weber wins Big Ten postgrad scholarship
Nebraska football player Chris Weber is a winner of the Wayne Duke Award, which is given to one male and one female Big Ten senior pursuing a postgraduate degree.
The Big Ten announced Tuesday that Weber will receive a $10,000 scholarship, as will the female winner, Rutgers golfer Emily Mills.
Weber originally was a walkon linebacker at Nebraska. The Elkhorn High graduate earned a scholarship in January 2016 and was a captain last season.
Weber majored in nutrition science with minors in mathematics and business. He has a 3.96 grade-point average and plans to enroll at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in August.
Baseball Hall of Famer Andre Dawson is lending his name to a college tournament formed as part of Major League Baseball’s effort to promote historically black college and university programs.
Now in its 11th year, the New Orleans tournament formerly known as the Urban Invitational has been renamed the Andre Dawson Classic. It will feature six HBCU teams as part of an eight-team round robin from Feb. 16-18.
Dawson, a former Chicago Cubs and Montreal Expos star, played college baseball at Florida A&M. He is one of only two HBCU alumni in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Dawson says he’s honored to be involved.
