Courtney Upshaw and William Vlachos became the latest Alabama players to confirm Friday their intent to play in the Senior Bowl.

The duo will join wide receiver Marquis Maze, who confirmed Wednesday that he would also play in the game.

Upshaw has been Alabama's wrecking ball at the jack linebacker position. He had 45 tackles with 8.5 sacks, including two each against Ole Miss and Auburn. In his past 14 games dating to last season, Upshaw has 13.5 sacks.

Vlachos has started 39 consecutive games at center and is considered the pulse of the offensive line

Has Hightower received an invitation to "Senior Bow"? He played in '08, injured 3rd game against Arkansas in '09.. Out for rest of season.

Hightower played all of '10 of played all this year '11. So does Hightower had a red shirt for '09? If so he could come back, I would believe he goes PRO and he goes in 1st round.

Hightower is technically a junior so he is not eligible for the Senior bowl. He can come back if he chooses to. Most think he will go in the 1st round to the NFL. He got a medical redshirt in '09 when he hurt his knee early against Arkansas.

I kind of thought Smelly might get invited.
