Last week's Insight.com Bowl in Tucson was not the final football game of the season for four Tigers. Quarterback Corby Jones, tailback Devin West, offensive guard Craig Heimburger and linebacker Marquis Gibson each have January all-star games for which to prepare.
Gibson and Heimburger will both play on January 16, but in two different games. Gibson will play in the first All-Star Gridiron Classic in Orlando, Fla., which pits Team Florida against Team USA. A native of Apopka, Fla., Gibson will play for the Florida contingent. Heimburger will be in Palo Alto, Calif., for the East-West Shrine Classic.
Jones and West will have an extra week of preparation. West will play in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 23, while Jones will appear in the Hula Bowl, Jan. 24, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
