Two-time consensus first team All-American center Brennen Carvalho will get his chance to bask in the national media spotlight this afternoon when he takes part in the 2008 Hula Bowl in Hawaii.
The Hula Bowl is an annual game for the nation’s top seniors to showcase their games in front of pro scouts.
Carvalho, a 6-1, 310-pound center, is a three-time first-team All-Big Sky Conference selection and earned first team honors from the Associated Press and Walter Camp.
At 21 years, one month, Carvalho figures to be one of the youngest prospects in Hawaii but his relative youth didn’t stop him from making 39 consecutive starts for the Portland State Vikings.
A native of Hawaii, Carvalho is the first Viking to be selected for the game since Tony Curtis was after the 2004 season. Curtis now plays for the Dallas Cowboys.
The game will be televised on the Versus network at 3 p.m. PST.
