SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- K.J. Hill becomes the latest Ohio State football player to add his name to a postseason all-star game roster after accepting an invitation to the Senior Bowl.

Hill will join Damon Arnette, DaVon Hamilton, Malik Harrison and Jonah Jackson in the game taking place in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 25.

The wide receiver recorded a team-high 51 catches for 569 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. In the Big Ten Championship game, Hill broke David Boston’s 21-year record for career receptions of 191. He sits at 193 and with two potential games left on this season, he could be the first player in Ohio State history to catch 200 passes. Hill also owns the Ohio State record for most consecutive games with a reception with 48.

Eight seniors have accepted invites to all-star games including Jordan Fuller, Branden Bowen and Binjimen Victor in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
