Voorhis Accepts Invitation to Play in Hula Bowl Senior All-Star Game
December 04, 2025 | Football
MUNCIE, Ind. – Ball State senior defensive end Nathan Voorhis has accepted an invitation to play in the 2026 Hula Bowl on Saturday, Jan. 10. The Hula Bowl is the nation's longest running college football all-star game dedicated to seniors, established in 1946 and celebrating its 80th rendition next month.
Voorhis becomes the fifth player to represent Ball State in the Hula Bowl, following Justin Riley in 2003, Terry Moss in 2006, and Antwan Davis and Caleb Huntley, both in 2021.
The MAC's co-leader with 12 sacks in 12 games, Voorhis tied for third among national leaders in sacks, after once leading all FBS players with 11 through 10 games.
A transfer from Bryant University who played his first two seasons at UConn, Voorhis recorded the most sacks by a Ball State player since 1982 and finished with the second-highest figure in program history. The Cardinals' single-season record of 13 is shared by Kelly George, in 1982, and Craig Newbury in 1981.
The 80th annual Hula Bowl game airs on CBS Sports Network, January 10 at noon ET, from Spec Martin Memorial Stadium in Deland, Florida.
