MOBILE, Ala. - Aundrae Allison might have improved his NFL draft status if reaching the end zone counts significantly.
The former East Carolina wide receiver scored one of the three touchdowns for the North squad during a 27-0 victory over the South at the Senior Bowl on Saturday. The event gathers the best seniors in the nation for an all-star game for NFL coaches and executives to evaluate.
Allison was part of a 10-point second quarter that helped the North go ahead 20-0 by halftime. The North recovered a fumble at the South 26. The turnover set up a 7-yard TD pass from Michigan State's Drew Stanton to Allison.
Allison finished the game with a pair of receptions for 22 yards, the second most of any North receiver.
The Kannapolis native led the Pirates in catches and receiving yards for the second consecutive season in 2006. Allison concluded his senior season, which included a bowl appearance for the Pirates for the first time since 2001, with 62 receptions for 708 yards and four touchdowns. He also missed a pair of games because of an injuried ankle.
As a junior in 2005, Allison caught 83 passes for 1,024 yards and seven touchdowns, becoming the first ECU player to post more than 1,000 receiving yards.
