MOBILE, Ala. – Safety Kyle McCarthy, center Eric Olsen and right tackle Sam Young have all accepted invitations to the 2010 Under Armour Senior Bowl, officials announced Monday.

The game is scheduled for Jan. 3 at 4 p.m. in Mobile’s LaddoPeebles Stadium and will be televised live by the NFL Network.

McCarthy led the Fighting Irish with 101 total tackles this season. His 240 career tackles ranks second on Notre Dame’s all-time list for defensive backs.

He is tied for 19th in the nation this season with five interceptions and is the first defensive back in school history to post consecutive 100-plus tackle seasons (110 in 2008, 101 in 2009).

“I’m definitely excited to come down there and compete with some of the best football players in the country,” McCarthy said. “I feel like I have a lot to prove to the scouts and all the people in the NFL and I hope to use the Senior Bowl to show them that I am a well rounded athlete.”

Olsen, who can play multiple positions on the offensive line, was named Notre Dame’s offensive co-captain this season. He finished his career with 31 consecutive starts and was named a third team Sporting News All-American this year. After playing both guard positions during his sophomore and junior seasons, Olsen started every game for the Irish at center this season.

“It’s a great opportunity for me, Kyle and Sam to play with some of the great players in the country,” Olsen said. “It’s really exciting and I’m thankful for the opportunity to show off my talents.”

Young was a staple on Notre Dame’s offensive line since he stepped foot on campus. His 50 career starts are the most in school history and he is the only Notre Dame offensive lineman to start every game since his freshman year.

“I’ve talked to both Eric and Kyle and when we found out that we were invited we were ecstatic,” Young said. “It’s an opportunity to not only showcase your ability but also to go up against the best of the best.”
