Florida Atlantic University quarterback Rusty Smith and tight end Jason Harmon have been invited to participate in the 2010 Texas vs. the Nation Game.
The duo will join FAU Head Coach Howard Schnellenberger, who coached the 2009 Nation Team to a victory and saw FAU linebacker Frantz Joseph earn Defensive MVP honors.
Events are scheduled to begin Sunday, January 31 and will culminate at 2 p.m. EST at the Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas.
Ninety-three percent of the 2009 squad signed an NFL contract (111-119). Smith and Harmon become the sixth and seventh players to participate in an all-star game since the program’s inception in 2001. Harmon and Smith will join Jared Allen as the three offensive FAU players to conclude their collegiate playing career in an all-star game.

They already have two other TEs listed and one other FB. So I suspect Harmon will be used as a FB during one half of the game, and probably not as a TE.

Could it be NFL scouts think he translates more into a FB than a TE?
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

I think he is worth a risk around the 5th round…

Interesting that Harmon is listed at FB. When doing a google search to find out where he's ranked for the draft he's not listed as TE but rather as a FB. In fact Wiilie Rose was barely better on these websites than Jason Harmon.

The thing is that he needs to add 20-25lbs to play FB. If he does that he will be big enough to play TE. I don't think his athleticism can be questioned, but there are a whole lot of really athletic guys from big time programs that don't make the NFL. It is a real long shot, but I hope he gets an opportunity.
GO OWLS!!!

I just read Coach Schnellenberger's twitter. Bernie Kosar is on his coaching staff for the game.

Interesting…rebuilding that connection so he can come down to FAU perhaps?

Pretty sure he lives in south Florida. Saw him in WPB about a year ago.
