Pitt’s Elijah Zeise drops Va. Tech’s Steven Peoples for a loss in the first half Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018 at Heinz Field.

Four Pitt seniors have been chosen to participate in two post-season all-star games aimed at exposing them to NFL scouts.

Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall, who became the first pair of Pitt running backs to rush for 1,000 yards in the same season, will be joined by offensive lineman Alex Bookser in the East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 19 in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Outside linebacker Elijah Zeise will play in the Spiral Tropical Bowl in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Jan. 13. Zeise finished fifth on the team with 48 tackles, including four for a loss, and two pass breakups.
