Nicholas Norris and Anthony “Ace” Wales combined to score 44 touchdowns last season for Western Kentucky. Now the two former Hilltoppers will try to earn a spot on the same NFL team.

The wide receiver Norris earned a camp invite Monday from the Washington Redskins, agent Shawn O’Dare posted on Twitter.

Norris will be going to a Redskins team that also issued the former WKU running back Wales a camp invite last week.

Norris caught 76 passes last season for 1,318 yards with 14 touchdowns. The 5-foot-9, 175-pound Miami native also carried the ball 13 times for 222 yards with another TD.

Norris ranks second to former teammate Taywan Taylor on the Toppers’ all-time lists for career receptions (194), receiving yards (3,091) and touchdown receptions (26).
