LEXINGTON, Ky. — Center Eric Scott will play in the Texas vs. the Nation all-star game set for Sat. Feb. 2 in El Paso, Texas.

The second-annual event features college seniors who played in Texas, or are from Texas, against a team comprised of players from around the country. Scott will play for the national team. The game will be shown on College Sports Television (CSTV) and will kick off at 5 p.m. EST from the Sun Bowl.

Scott is the first Wildcat to play in the event, which is in its second year. Scott (6-5, 295) performed very well in 2007, his first season as Kentucky?s starting center, in helping lead the Wildcats to a second-consecutive Music City Bowl championship. He began his collegiate career as a tight end and later played defensive end before moving to the offensive line in 2006. His athletic ability and playing skill have made him an attractive pro prospect.

Lorenzen to the Super Bowl: Former Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen is a backup QB for the New York Giants and will participate in Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots. The game will be played Sunday, Feb. 3, at 6 p.m. and televised by Fox Sports.

Lorenzen?s appearance marks the 33rd time that a former Kentucky player has been on a team that advanced to the Super Bowl that season. The last such Wildcat was Chris Demaree, who was on the reserve squad for the Carolina Panthers team that played in the 2004 Super Bowl. The previous Wildcat to actually see game action in the Super Bowl was defensive back Willie Gary, who played for the St. Louis Rams in the 2002 game.
