Former Trojans Punch Tickets To Hawaii
12/19/2007 6:00:00 AM | Football
When former Troy University standouts DeMarcus Ware and Osi Umenyiora were playing football together at Auburn High School, they probably never dreams that they would one day have a chance to play together in Hawaii.
When the NFL announced the 2007 Pro Bowl teams on Tuesday, both former Trojans earned their second trip to play in the annual post-season All-Star game, but it will be their first trip to the game as teammates.
Ware was one of a league-high 11 Cowboys selected to the game. It is his second ProBowl selection in just three years in the league.
Unemyiora was the only member of the New York Giants selected for the game, and was named as a reserve despite being among the league leaders in sacks with 12. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2005.
The Cowboys have clinched the NFC East Division crown while the Giants are the front-runners for one of two NFL wildcard playoff spots. Dallas plays at Carolina on Saturday night while the Giants travel to Buffalo to play on Sunday afternoon.
Troy University athletics would like to offer congratulations to both former Trojans on their accomplishments this season and wish them both the best of luck in the playoffs.
