Former UConn defensive tackle and team captain Shamar Stephen had one solo tackle and assisted on another in today's Senior Bowl but it wasn't enough as the North team lost to the South 20-10 in the Senior Bowl.

He teamed with North Carolina's Kareem Martin to throw Coastal Carolina's Lorenzo Taliaferro for a two-yard loss on the North team's first defensive possession of the fourth quarter and made a solo stop on Taliaferro on the game's final play.

Stephen, named the MVP of the UConn team, had a pretty strong week of practice as the Senior Bowl by all accounts and he has been invited to next month's NFL Combine.
