NDSU Lineman Invited To NFL Combine

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota State University All-America offensive tackle Paul Cornick has been invited to the NFL combine and to the 2012 Players All-Star Classic.

Both feature NFL prospects. The Players All-Star Classic is Feb. 4 at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark. The combine workouts are Feb. 22-28 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Cornick is a 6-foot-6, 309-pounder from Orono, Minn. He helped block for Bison quarterback Brock Jensen, who threw for 2,534 yards and 14 touchdowns this past season, and helped open holes for running backs D.J. McNorton and Sam Ojuri. They combined for 2,125 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns.

NDSU won the Football Championship Subdivision title earlier this month.
