Texans highlight both high school All-American games
Some of the best high school football players in the country are set to meet in two All-American games this week. The Under Armour All-American Game is schedule for 5 p.m. Thursday from Camping World Stadium in Orlando. The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is scheduled for noon Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio and will air live on NBC.
The state of Texas will be represented by 28 top recruits between the two games, including 17 in Orlando. Among the 28 Texas All-Americans, two come from Tarrant County area schools. Offensive lineman Darrell Simpson from Northwest and linebacker DaShaun White from Richland are playing in San Antonio. They’re both spoken for — Simpson to Oklahoma and White to Texas A&M. Six players are still undecided.
