Several WVU Players Earn Hula Bowl Invitations Ahead of NFL Draft

While the Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl get most of the attention leading up the NFL Draft, the Hula Bowl also serves as an opportunity for college players to showcase themselves to scouts. And this year, four WVU players have earned invitations.

Offensive lineman Wyatt Milum and long snapper Austin Brinkman will be participating in the Senior Bowl, but several other Mountaineers have been invited to take part in the Hulu Bowl.
