Accepting the invite means Williams - who hasn't played this season because of a broken foot - will not be back at Arkansas in 2016.

He has a year of eligibility remaining because he never used his redshirt, but coach Bret Bielema has said all season that he believed Williams would enter the NFL draft following the season.

During three years with the Razorbacks, Williams rushed for 2,321 yards and 16 touchdowns on 406 carries. His career rushing total ranks 11th in UA history.

Tretola's invitation comes after two seasons at Arkansas. During his junior year, the Iowa Western Community College transfer started 11 games at left guard and threw a touchdown pass on a fake field goal.

This season, Tretola has started every game at left guard and earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors following Arkansas' win over Tennessee on Oct. 3.

The Senior Bowl is scheduled for Jan. 30 in Mobile, Alabama. It will air on the NFL Network.
