Under Armour All-America rosters set
Published 3:00 am Saturday, December 6, 2014
The Under Armour All-America game, a contest showcasing the top football recruits in the country, announced rosters and team assignments Thursday.
The team announcements were televised on ESPNU. Players will be split up to compete on Team Black and Team White.
The combined 18 commits between Auburn and Alabama have been split among the two teams with most Crimson Tide commits playing for Team White, while the majority of the Tigers’ commits will play for Team Black.
Charles Henderson linebacker Richard McBryde, an Auburn commit who was selected to the team in October, will play for Team Black.
McBryde is the first Charles Henderson player to ever be selected to the game.
“It’s an honor for the chance to play in this game,” McBryde said at his jersey presentation in October. “When I found out this summer that I had been selected, I was very excited to get the opportunity, and also because I was the first one from Charles Henderson ever to be selected. It will be on national television, and that is also exciting.”
This is the 8th Under Armour football game.
Previous players include NFL first-round draft picks Jadeveon Clowney, A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston.
Team practices will be televised on ESPNU Dec. 30 and 31 at 7 p.m, with the game being played at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Jan. 2, 2015 at 3 p.m. on ESPN2.
The day before the game, there will be a skills challenge, which will also air on ESPN 2 at 9 p.m.
