Three LSU receivers will participate in the East-West Shrine Bowl next month in Frisco, Texas.

Aaron Anderson, Chris Hilton Jr. and Zavion Thomas have accepted invitations to play in the game Jan. 27, the organization announced Friday.

Thomas played in all 12 games as a senior and finished second on the team in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Anderson missed three games due to injuries but still finished third in receptions and receiving yards. Hilton was relegated to a backup role, catching just seven passes for 55 yards.

LSU linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. had previously accepted an invitation to play in the all star game.

The Tigers will face Houston in the Kinder’s Texas Bowl to wrap up the season on Dec. 27 in Houston.
