Here’s the release from UConn Athletic Communications Department on how Anthony Sherman, Greg Lloyd and Scott Lutrus performed in Saturday’s 86th Annual East-West Shrine Game at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, FL.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Former University of Connecticut linebacker Greg Lloyd (Clermont, Fla.) led the East team in tackles with five as his East tam posted a 25-8 win the 2011 East-West Shrine Game at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando. Also playing on defense for the East was linebacker Scott Lutrus (Brookfield, Conn.), who had one tackle.
Fullback Anthony Sherman (North Attleboro, Mass.) had two carries for a yard of rushing.
Linebacker Lawrence Wilson (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) and offensive guard Zach Hurd (Waterford, Conn.) will play in next week’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
Here’s what Scouts, Inc. (ESPN Insider link) had to say about Lloyd during the game:
Greg Lloyd (ESPN Insider link) has three tackles early, all on inside runs between the tackles. We felt he played high this week and his strength is between the tackles on inside runs where he can use his size, power at the point of attack and natural instincts. It showed on those plays
I thought Sherman played really well. He made some good blocks including a key one on Syracuse RB Delone Carter’s touchdown run. Hopefully, he can put together a great NFL Combine and maybe sneak into the latter rounds of the 2011 NFL Draft. If not, he’s certain to get a chance on a free agent contract.
I will do my best to keep y’all updated on how Hurd and Wilson are doing during the week of practices for the Senior Bowl. But if you’re interested in watching the Senior Bowl practices, the NFL Network will be broadcasting them live.
