UNLV center Dominic Furio was selected today to play in the Findlay Toyota Las Vegas All-American Classic.

Furio, a 6-3, 295-pound native of San Pedro, Calif., will suit up for the West team on Jan. 17, 2004, at Sam Boyd Stadium. A four-year letterman, Furio was among more than 100 college seniors invited to play. Kickoff is 1 p.m.

The Las Vegas All-American Classic was formerly known as the Paradise Bowl and played for the first two years in St. George, Utah. Furio becomes the 12th Rebels player to be selected for the game, including four in 2002.
