Cal Athletics: Golden Bear Trio to Play In Senior Bowl on Saturday

DeCoud, Forsett and Hawkins Began Practice in Mobile on Monday

BERKELEY - A trio of California stars - running back Justin Forsett, defensive back Thomas DeCoud and wide receiver Lavelle Hawkins -- are among the 100 top senior NFL draft prospects participating in the 2008 Under Armour Senior Bowl this week in Mobile, Alabama.

The California trio reported to Mobile this past weekend and had their first practice Monday afternoon. They are playing on the Under Armour Senior Bowl's North squad, which is being coached by Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin and his staff.   DeCoud, Forsett and Hawkins are three of six Golden Bears to earn invites to senior all-star games this postseason. Offensive tackle Mike Gibson and tight end Craig Stevens played in the 83rd East-West Shrine Game this past Saturday; and receiver Robert Jordan was the West MVP of the Cornerstone Hula Bowl two weeks ago.
