Richmond, Virginia’s own Kadofi Wright was a do-it-all linebacker for the Buffalo Bulls in his six seasons for the flagship SUNY school. Standing at six-foot-five, 309 lbs., he has size in the interior of the line which could be attractive to any team who wants to primarily run the ball at the next level. Patton is a two-time all-MAC selection, peaking at second-team all-MAC this past year during NIU’s title run. Patton, an Elletsville, Illinois native, was a four-year starter in his six seasons at NIU, with a late focus on the center position after 1.5 seasons at right guard. Odukoya, a 2020 team captain who was chosen to wear the #2 legacy jersey in the same year, finished his EMU career with 21 receptions for 194 yard and four touchdowns in 40 games played. 2021 was Odukoya’s best season as an Eagle, with 130 yards and two touchdowns on 13 receptions, averaging exactly 10 yards per catch, picking up third-team all-MAC honors in 2021 for his efforts.

Here is a brief profile of the six MAC players who will look to make their marks in Orlando on Saturday afternoon:Ī native of the Netherlands, Odukoya was primarily a blocking tight end who showed sure hands on shot plays in limited routes. The 2022 Hula Bowl, in its new location at UCF’s Bounce House Stadium, will be aired on CBS Sports Network, with kickoff slated for 12 noon Eastern time/11 a.m. Other coaches involved include Mike Tice, Wade Phillips, Kevin Sumlin, Ron Turner and Jonathan Hayes. The coaching staff for both sides are stacked with former NFL and NCAA talents, with former Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith leading Team Aina, while former Super Bowl champion head coach Brian Billick leads Team Kai. The bowl game, rebooted in 2021 after first being established in 1946, will see six former MAC stars participating between both teams.
The 2022 Hula Bowl won’t be in Hawai’i this season due to Aloha Stadium’s condemnation and COVID restrictions statewide, but a change in venue won’t affect the action on the gridiron, as the second edition of the renewed Hula Bowl will take place in Orlando, Florida.
