Many of the nation's top high school football players will be on display Saturday, when two high school all-star games will be on national television.
The U.S. Army All-American Bowl will be played at the Alamodome in San Antonio (NBC, noon), and the inaugural Under Armour All-America High School Football Game will be played at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (ABC, 2 p.m.)
The 80 players who will participate in the Under Armour High School Football Game represent 22 states. California and Florida each sent 13 players to the game. Texas is next with 12, while Alabama and Georgia each have eight representatives.
A skills competition that took place earlier this week will be shown on ESPN2 tonight at 6.
Wide receiver Julio Jones, who many consider to be the top recruit in this year's class, is among the players who have still not committed to a college. Jones, who played for Foley (Ala.) High School, is reportedly considering Alabama, Oklahoma, Florida State, Florida and Texas Tech.
Mike Goodman, a 6-foot-5, 270-pound offensive lineman from Columbus High School in Miami, has committed to Boston College.
Mike Golic Jr., son of the ESPN analyst, is the only New England player participating in either game. Golic, who has committed to Notre Dame, will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He was an offensive lineman at Northwest Catholic High School in West Hartford, Conn.
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who several receuiting experts have called the best high school quarterback in the country, is undecided on where he will attend college. Oregon, where former UNH assistant coach Chip Kelly is the offensive coordinator, is among the schools he is considering. Pryor played for Jeannette (Penn.) High School.
