RENO, Nev. – Nevada wide receiver Romeo Doubs, tight end Cole Turner, and quarterback Carson Strong have accepted an invite to play in the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 5 in Mobile, Ala.  The game, which showcases the top NFL Draft prospects in the nation, will be televised on the NFL Network and will kick off at 11:30 a.m., Pacific Standard Time.

Romeo Doubs, Cole Turner, and Carson Strong have accepted an invite to the Reese's Senior Bowl that has been played annually since 1950. 

Nevada is the only team in the Mountain West Conference with more than one player invited to the game this year. This year is the first time Nevada will have a player in the Senior Bowl since 2018. Nevada will have three players playing in the game for the first time in program history. Turner, Doubs, and Strong are the 8th, 9th, 10th players to represent Nevada in the Senior Bowl.

Doubs is second in the Mountain West Conference in receiving yards (853) and touchdowns (7) in 2021. He was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List (2020 & 2021), All-Mountain West First Team (2020), and All-Mountain West Honorable mention (2019). Doubs led the MWC in receiving yards in 2020 with 1,002, becoming one of 20 Nevada football players to record over 1,000 yards in a season. He and Turner tied for the lead in touchdowns within the conference (9) last season.

The senior wideout from Los Angeles, Calif., has reeled in 22-career receiving touchdowns tying him for 6th all-time in Nevada football history. This season, he tied a single-game program record with 19 receptions at Fresno State on Oct. 23.

Turner was on the Mackey Award and Biletnikoff Award watch lists prior to the start of the 2021 season and is second in the nation in touchdown receptions this year (8). Turner is fourth among tight ends nationally in receiving yards (618) and third among tight ends in receptions (55). He is sixth in the Mountain West Conference in receiving and leads the conference in touchdown catches.

The Clackamas, Oregon, product was named All-Mountain West First Team in 2020 after making 49 receptions for 605 yards and catching conference-best nine touchdowns. He has recorded 1,311 receiving yards and 18 receiving touchdowns in his career.

Junior quarterback Carson Strong was invited to the Reese's Senior Bowl on Dec. 16, after declaring for the NFL draft.

He was also named All-Mountain West First Team for the second straight season. 

Strong guided the Wolf Pack to an 8-4 overall regular-season record and its fourth straight bowl appearance after setting a single-season program record with 36 touchdown passes. He finished the regular season with the most passing yards in the conference (4,715), which is also second all-time in a single season at Nevada.
