Linebacker Sio Moore and cornerbacks Dwayne Gratz and Blidi Wreh-Wilson were mainstays on UConn's nationally-ranked defense the last couple of years and this afternoon they get the next step towards securing a spot in the NFL when they play for the North squad in the Senior Bowl.

Gratz and Wreh-Wilson, who will wear No. 27 and 15 respectively, have had a full week of practice to open eyes of the NFL scouts in attendance. Moore, who will wear No. 46, was added during the middle of the week after his former UConn teammate Trevardo Williams injured his ankle.

Meriden's John Jenkins, a former Georgia defensive tackle, will play for the South squad and wear No. 6.

The game will air live on NFL Network beginning at 4 p.m.
