BYU tight end Devin Mahina had two catches for 20 yards to lead two Cougars and two Utes in Saturday's NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
Mahina played for the National squad, which won the all-star contest 17-0, while the other three suited up for the American team. Mahina's grabs included a 7-yard catch on third down on the National's first drive, which ended with a touchdown, and a 13-yard reception during the second quarter.
"Mahina has really been standing out, catching the ball down the seam, showing enough athletic ability, using his body well to shield defenders and strong ball skills," ESPN NFL draft expert Todd McShay said during ESPN2's telecast of the game. "He’s really stood out to Becht (National tight end coach Anthony Becht) and a lot of the scouts throughout the week."

On Sunday, Mahina announced he had accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl next weekend.
The NFLPA game Saturday capped a week of practices and exercises meant to give the players — all eligible to join the NFL next season — the opportunity to showcase their talents for NFL scouts and personnel, as well as get a taste of what life is like in the league.
Utah wide receiver Kaelin Clay finished with four punt returns for 18 yards and one fourth-quarter reception for five yards. His first return went for 17 yards, but the final three netted one yard.
Tight end Westlee Tonga, also of Utah, was the recipient of the American's first offensive play, catching a nine-yard pass. He added another reception later and had 13 receiving yards.
"I don't think I had any super glaring weaknesses. Everything I set out to accomplish (during the week) I more or less got done," Tonga told the Deseret News via a phone interview following the game. "We had good coaches over there and obviously good players from around the country. It's good to be able to rub shoulders with good people. It was a really great experience for me."
BYU running back Paul Lasike played in a fullback role for the American team and finished with two catches for one yard. He had a four-yard run on third-and-1 wiped off by a defensive offsides penalty.
"There's a few good fullbacks in this draft class, but I think Paul Lasike will find himself in a training camp because of his ability to play on special teams," ESPN analyst Greg McElroy said during the game telecast. "(He's) a former rugby player, you know he can run and you know he's not afraid to be physical as well."
