With all the attention that the Sam Houston State Bearkat football team has received during their consecutive run at the FCS National Championship, many wondered could it get any better than this?

Well, it gets even better when Bearkat wide receiver Trey Diller received an invite to participate in the NFLPA All-Star Collegiate Bowl that’s set to be played in Carson, California on Jan. 19 on ESPN2.

Diller, who caught the ball 62 times for 927 yards and four touchdowns, became the first Bearkat to ever participate in the NFLPA.

The Woodlands, Texas native also was the return specialist, as he finished third in the Southland Conference with 354 yards in punt returns.

In addition, he became the first Bearkat to make the All-Southland Conference honors both as a wide receiver and a return specialist.

He played a huge part during the Bearkat playoff run at the FCS Championsip when in the quarterfinal round at Montana State, he caught a 56-yard pass TD pass from quarterback Brian Bell that allowed the Bearkats to blow the game wide open.

Diller completes his collegiate career with 1,190 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
