Saturday brings us the start of the NFL’s postseason as Wild Card weekend gets underway but before the ball goes in the air in those games some of college football’s next stars will participate in the annual All-American Game in San Antonio.
It’s one of multiple all-star games for high school football’s biggest stars to participate in before they join the college ranks. We’ll fill you in on the All-American Game first before looking at other all-star contests
This year’s game, the first that I can remember not being sponsored by the US Army, can be seen on NBC this Saturday afternoon.
Although not loaded with future Fighting Irish football stars you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of four signees who will begin their Notre Dame careers in 2020.
Representing the East will be wide receiver Jordan Johnson of St. Louis, tight end Michael Mayer of Kentucky and offensive tackle Michael Carmody of Pennsylvania.
Offensive tackle Tosh Baker of Phoenix is Notre Dame’s only representative on the West.
