Kettani Selected For Senior Bowl All-Star Game

ANNAPOLIS, Md.-Navy senior fullback Eric Kettani (Kirtland, Ohio) has been selected to the 2009 Senior Bowl All-Star Game, which will be played Saturday, January 24 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala. Game time is 6 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on the NFL Network.

The Senior Bowl features the country's best senior collegiate football players and top NFL draft prospects on teams representing the North and South that are coached by the entire coaching staffs of two National Football League teams.

Kettani is just the second player in school history to be selected for the game. Napoleon McCallum was named the MVP of the 1986 Senior Bowl.

Kettani, who is the ninth leading rusher in school history, has rushed for 2,041 yards and 15 touchdowns in his career. His career average of 5.4 yards per carry is the sixth-best rushing average in school history. He enters Saturday's EagleBank Bowl just 68 yards shy of 1,000 yards rushing for the season. If he can eclipse that mark, Kettani will join Shun White as the second backfield in school history and third in Service Academy history to have two running backs over 1,000 yards in the same season.
