University of Minnesota Duluth football graduate senior Brent Laing, received an invitation to the 2023 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on January 28, 2023. The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl is the premier postseason all-star game for any draft eligible college football player. More than just a game, this week-long experience provides players with the opportunity to showcase their game to NFL scouts and coaches, while learning from the best in the business. The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl not only prepares players for the speed and intensity of professional football, but also for the business and lifestyle changes that come with it. 

Laing, a 2022 UMD football team captain from Lakeville, Minn., is the first Bulldog to participate in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. Prior to the 2022 season, Laing was named to the Reese's Senior Bowl watch list. In both 2022 and 2021 he earned first team All-NSIC honors.

The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl recently featured 248 former participants on opening day NFL rosters this season. For more information on UMD Bulldog Football please visit umdbulldogs.com.
