The 2014 Under Armour All-American Game rosters were announced the other day. All of Michigan's current commits are on Team Nitro, so that's who you should be rooting for; that includes Wilton Speight, whose competitors for Michigan's lone quarterback offer in the class both will play for Team Highlights (Alabama-bound David Cornwell, Penn State-bound Michael O'Connor). The game will be played on January 2, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. on ESPN.

I know they offer kids a spot in these games way early and way before their season...Drake Harris missed his entire season...whereas other WR excelled throughout the year. Is there any precedent for taking away someone's slot? Not that I don't think Drake is amazing - just that he didn't play at all this year....seems unfair to others.
ReplyDeleteThey don't take kids' slots away, but they do replace injured players on the roster. Harris probably won't play in the game, so another receiver will likely get an invitation to go in his stead.
DeleteOk great, thanks! Didn't know if he was going to try and make a go of it and play...here's hoping he does!
