COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Linebacker Moise Fokou was a late addition to the South roster of the 2009 Under Armour Senior Bowl.
Fokou and teammate Kevin Barnes are currently in Mobile, Ala., prepping for the game which is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. CST Saturday (NFL Network) from Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
Barnes will not play due to the season-ending shoulder injury he suffered vs. Wake Forest (Oct. 18).
Three other Terps have played in, or will play in, one of the three all-star games.
Offensive linemen Edwin Williams and Jaimie Thomas both played for the East squad in Saturday's East-West Shrine game.
Defensive lineman Jeremy Navarre will suit up in the Texas vs. The Nation game on Saturday, Jan. 31 in El Paso, Texas (1 p.m. MST/CBS College Sports Network).
Fokou was scheduled to play in that game, but will not after being added to the Senior Bowl roster.
Fokou, a two-year starter, accounted for 161 tackles the last two seasons, including 77 stops in 2008. He also tallied a career-high five sacks this season and caused five fumbles in his career.
