TAMPA, NOV. 13, 2018 – Bulls fans can help send stars of USF football's past to the Pro Bowl.

2019 Pro Bowl ballots are now online and include former USF standouts Jason Pierre-Paul (DE), Marlon Mack (RB), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR) and Terrell McClain (DT). As of Tuesday, fans 13 years of age and older can submit votes at www.nfl.com/probowl/ballot or on Twitter starting on Thursday, Nov. 29. View social media voting instructions HERE.

USF football has had two former players make the Pro Bowl in the program's history. Pierre-Paul earned the prestigious honor in 2011-12 as a member of the New York Giants after defensive back Mike Jenkins made USF history as the program's first Pro Bowl selection in 2009.

Pierre-Paul already has set a franchise record in his first season with Tampa Bay with sacks in six consecutive games. JPP is tied for eighth in the NFL with 8.0 sacks this season.

Valdes-Scantling currently ranks fourth among NFL rookies with 402 receiving yards (17.5 ypc) this season. USF's season receiving yards record-holder is tied for the rookie lead with three 40-plus yard receptions and he's tied for third with seven 20-plus yard catches.

Mack has rushed for at least 100 yards twice in the past three games with four touchdowns during the stretch. The second-year pro has bounced back well from an injury that sidelined him for four games and leads the Indianapolis Colts with 410 rushing yards (5.3 ypc).

Fans can vote for players as many times as they would like up to the deadline on Dec. 13. Pro Bowl selections are determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group's vote counts one-third toward determining the 88 players who will be eligible for the Pro Bowl. This year's game will take place Jan. 27, 2019 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
