I see a few of the US Army All-Americans from the area not listed on the roster. Im assuming it was their choice.
they usually dont pick them bc they are already going to the Army All American Bowl its hard to attend both for the players at least
They did not pick them Wednesday that is a farce. The Shrine Bowl is a joke. Cronyism at it finest. 80's uniforms, no college coaches, false representation of exposure to get kids in college. Stop the lying. The Army, UA and Sempfer fidelis games have passed you by.
