DENTON, Texas -Former North Texas running back Lance Dunbar and defensive end Brandon Akpunku will play in the Casino Del Sol College All-Star game in Tucson, Arizona on January 16. The game will be played at Kino Stadium and is being organized by Casino Del Sol and Joe Dan Rogers, the former executive director of the Hula Bowl.

The game will be divided between two teams, the "Stars" and "Stripes" and each roster features 47 players from across the nation. Dunbar and Akpunku will play for the Stripes team.
