Great attention to detail on the deck
Saturday’s All-American Bowl at the Alamodome, scheduled to be broadcast on NBC, will feature several blue-chip players leaving.
One of the most notable announcements this year will be 4-star Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor WR Cameron Sparks, who is scheduled to be selected from Arkansas, Mississippi State and Virginia Tech. The Hogs and Bulldogs are in an back-and-forth battle for the four-star pass catcher. Rivals’ FutureCast currently favors the state.
Other notable 2025 prospects expected to announce their decisions in San Antonio include four-star tight end Tandre Waverly. Three-star RB DeSean Ford. Three-star office worker Justin Hasenhüttl. and 3 star DL Vardin Mr. Sone.
Two talented four-star underclassmen will also keep their college commitments during the All-American Bowl. Featured excellent OT Gabriel Osenda Choose from Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, and Minnesota. The Vols have an advantageous position against targets within the state. R.B. Sharn Alston He will have to choose between Penn State, Southern California, and Wisconsin. The Trojans are trending 4-star RB on Rivals FutureCast.
San Antonio has a lot of people rising in the rankings.
The Navy All-American Bowl will be the last in-person evaluation for Rivals staff before final rankings are determined in 2025.
Some of the notable in-person recognitions we’re excited about include four-star signee Jordan Young from Michigan State. Young, ranked 18th in the SAF by Rivals250, finished his senior season with big plays at wide receiver and defensive back. We like his playmaking ability in the secondary long-term.
4 stars DL Iose Epenesa He is Rivals250’s No. 8 DE and will play at Iowa like his older brother AJ Epenesa before becoming a second-round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills. Like his older brother, Iose is 6-foot-4, 260 pounds with an explosive playstyle in the trenches.
Kevin Wynn He was one of the biggest advanced risers in the latest Rivals250 update. The Florida State signee was highly sought after not only by the Seminoles, but also by Texas, South Carolina and Georgia — and for good reason. Wynn is extremely powerful, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing around 350 pounds, making him a force to be reckoned with in the middle of the DL.
Georgia Tech signee Darren Penson Another senior riser that we would like to observe live. The Peach State speedster is one of the most electric playmakers in the class with proven 4.4 speed and a versatile skill set that allows him to play on both sides of the ball. Penson will work in San Antonio’s secondary, and his blend of speed, quickness and instincts should be fun.
Auburn DL four-star signee Malik Autry. We just tore up the All-Star Game between Alabama and Mississippi. The future Tiger packs a lot of athleticism and power into his 6-foot-6, 320-pound frame. Autry pops the ball and bounces inside the defensive line. He has performed well in multiple in-person evaluations and should return to form this week at Navy AAB practices and games.
The future Texas A&M Aggies are well known for the Alamo.
A rich college football program will be on display at the Alamodome on Saturday as the East and West teams square off. Leading the way is Texas A&M The Aggies, who have verbal commitments with seven signees, will compete.
