[Gridiron Classic Itinerary]

MONMOUTH, Ore. - Justin Ore and Caleb Singleton will once again strap on the Western Oregon football helmets as teammates. The senior duo will head down to St. George, Utah this weekend to begin training for the inaugural Dixie Gridiron Classic, which will take place Saturday, Feb. 5.

Ore and Singleton have each earned the right to play in the all-star game after outstanding four-year careers at Western Oregon.

Ore, a 6-3 wide receiver out of Anchorage, Alaska (Dimond High School), was a first team All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference selection in 2010 after hauling in 31 receptions for 571 yards and eight touchdowns. He led the conference with 18.4 yards per catch and receiving touchdowns.

Singleton was the GNAC co-Defensive Player of the Year and was named to two All-American squads. The 6-4 safety from Salem (West Salem High School) led Western Oregon with 89 tackles and six interceptions. He also had eight pass breakups and three blocked kicks.

Joining Ore and Singleton's Pacific Team at the Gridiron Classic will be fellow GNAC members Keauntea Bankhead (LB) and Michael Langston (P) of Dixie State, and Bryson Kelly (RB) of Central Washington.

The Dixie Gridiron Classic is one of four Division I college football all-star games for seniors to display their skills prior to the NFL Draft. The Gridiron Classic roster is comprised of 90 of the top college athletes throughout the Western states, and 85% of the rosters will feature graduating seniors from Division I programs. The players will be split into Pacific and Mountain squads which will include former NFL players and college coaches.

This will be the second all-star game of the postseason for Singleton. He also participated in the Cactus Bowl game, which featured the top student-athletes throughout Division II, on Jan. 7th in Kingsville, Texas.
