LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – Former UNLV offensive lineman Nathan Jacobson will suit up for the National Team this weekend as rosters for the SPIRAL Tropical Bowl college all-star game were officially released Monday.
The fourth annual SPIRAL Tropical Bowl will be played Sunday at Daytona Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida. Kickoff is set for 7 a.m. PT.
Jacobson (Snohomish, WA/Snohomish HS), who started 38 consecutive games at tackle for the Rebels, is a three-time Honorable Mention All-Mountain West honoree. He is the first Rebel offensive lineman invited to a postseason game since Brett Boyko was selected by the East-West Shrine Game after the 2014 campaign but was unable to play because of an injury.
Jacobson joins former UNLV teammate Lexington Thomas in heading to an all-star game this year as Thomas was previously announced as an invitee to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl to be played Jan. 19 at the historic Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.
