AMES, Iowa – Iowa State seniors Xavier Hutchinson and Will McDonald IV have accepted invitations to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl, held Saturday, Feb. 4^th in Mobile, Alabama.

Played annually since 1950, The Reese’s Senior Bowl is one of the nation’s best collegiate all-star games.

The NFL Network will broadcast the game.

Hutchinson, a Jacksonville, Florida, native, has had an outstanding senior season. He broke his own single-season school record and has 97 receptions, which leads all FBS players. He also leads the Big 12 in receiving yards per game (105.9) and total receiving yards (1,059). Hutchinson has 39 more receptions than the next best player in the Big 12. This season, he’s had at least eight receptions in every game.

Hutchinson also broke Iowa State’s career mark with 244 receptions.

He’s a two-time All-Big 12 First Team pick by the league’s coaches and was the 2020 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. He’s on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List this season.

McDonald is one of the nation’s most-feared pass rushers. He’s second all time in Big 12 history with 33.0 career sacks, including 3.5 this season. He enters Saturday’s game against Texas Tech one sack shy of the league record.

A Milwaukee, Wisconsin, native, he also has 40.0 tackles for a loss and nine forced fumbles in his career.

McDonald was a First-Team All-American last season by the FWAA as well as being named Big 12 Co-Defensive Lineman of the Year. Like Hutchinson, he’s also a two-time All-Big 12 First Team pick.

Hutchinson and McDonald will play their final home game at Jack Trice Stadium this weekend against Texas Tech. Tickets are still available to purchase.
