NACOGDOCHES, Texas - Senior wide receiver Dominique Edison has been invited to workout at the NFL Combine Friday, Feb. 20, through Thursday, Feb. 26, in Indianapolis, Ind.
"We are very happy for Dominique," said SFA head football coach J.C. Harper. "This is a great accomplishment for him. I am sure he will represent SFA in the NFL combine the same way he did all season. Dominique was a perfect fit for our offense, and I'm glad we could showcase his skills at wide receiver. The Lumberjack family wishes him the best of luck as he prepares for the next level."
The first-team All-Southland Conference honoree wrapped up his SFA career by recording one of the top seasons in the nation. A third-team Sports Network All-American, Edison set a new SLC record, and finished second in the nation with 18 touchdown receptions in 2008. Edison finished the year ranked among the league's top five in scoring (9.2 ppg), receptions (5.58 rpg) and receiving yards (84.7 ypg).
Edison closed out his career with 28 touchdown receptions, which ranks second all-time in conference history. He leaves SFA as the school's all-time leader with 182 career receptions, the single-season receptions leader (67), single-season touchdown receptions leader (18) and is second all-time in school history with 28 touchdown receptions and 2,696 receiving yards.
Edison will put his skills on display Saturday, Jan. 31, in the Texas vs. the Nation All-Star game. The game is slated to begin at 1 p.m. from the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.
