Lodge, Webster Accept Invite to 94th Edition of All-Star Contest
OXFORD, Miss. – Two more members of the Ole Miss football team have accepted an invite to play in the East-West Shrine Game, Jan. 19, at Tropicana Field, in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Seniors DaMarkus Lodge and Ken Webster will join teammates Sean Rawlings, Jordan Ta'amu and Zedrick Woods in the 94th edition of the college all-star game.
Lodge finished the regular season fourth in the SEC in receiving yards (877) and third in receiving yards per game (79.9). The 877 receiving yards ranks ninth all-time in the Ole Miss record books in a single season.
The senior wideout also ranked third in the conference in receptions per game (5.9). He posted three 100-yard receiving games, including a career high 179 yards on nine catches in win over ULM. Lodge and Brown teamed up to become the only two receivers in school history to tally 60-plus receptions in the same season.
The four-year letterwinner finished his Ole Miss career with 122 catches for 1,790 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns.
Webster finished the 2018 season with 33 tackles and tied for the team high with two interceptions. The Decatur, Georgia, native tallied 47 career appearances in a Rebel uniform, including 22 starts. He finished his Ole Miss career with 125 total tackles and three interceptions.
For more than 90 years, some of football's greatest athletes and coaches have contributed to the tradition of the East-West Shrine Game. Players like Gale Sayers, Tom Brady, John Elway, Allan Page, Dick Butkus, Brett Favre, Gino Marchetti and Walter Payton, along with coaches Don Shula, Dick Vermeil, Paul "Bear" Bryant and Jerry Glanville, to name a few, have supported the East-West Shrine Game.
Since 1925, the East-West Shrine Game has benefited Shriners Hospitals for Children and its mission to provide advanced care for children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, regardless of the families' ability to pay for services.
Players and coaches visit a local Shriners Hospitals for Children during game week to meet the patients and gain a greater understanding of the importance of the game. During the inspirational and humbling visit, the teams experience a day they will never forget. Whether dancing to music, playing games or simply sharing stories with one another, the instant friendships that form between the patients and players are a testament to our motto of being more than just a game.
