SAN ANTONIO — The 2022 All-American Bowl kicks off at noon CST on NBC from the Alamodome in San Antonio. A star-studded roster of elite college football prospects will put on a show after a week of entertaining practices.
The East team features a five-star backfield spearheaded by a pair of Penn State signees in quarterback Drew Allar and running back Nicholas Singleton. Five-star Kiyaunta Goodwin (Kentucky) and other elite prospects headline a loaded East offensive line, which accompanies a fleet of turbo-charged receivers, such as Isaiah Bond (Alabama), Deyon Bouie (Texas A&M), and Barion Brown (Kentucky). Expect Georgia signee Gunner Stockton and Michigan signee Jayden Denegal to get snaps at quarterback as well.
The West squad counters with its own pair of high-level offensive linemen in five-star Josh Conerly Jr. — the No. 1 offensive tackle in the Top247 rankings — and Earnest Greene (both are uncommitted). That unit will lead the way for a Clemson-bound five-star quarterback Cade Klubnik-led offense as Saturday’s game features quite a head-to-head QB matchup. The West also features elite Ohio State-bound QB Devin Brown and UCLA quarterback signee Justyn Martin, in addition to an impressive group of receivers that has been led all week by USC signee C.J. Williams.
Defensive line is a definite strength of the East, which features Georgia signees Marvin Jones Jr. and Mykel Williams and Penn State-bound Dani Dennis-Sutton. Notre Dame signee Joshua Burnham and LSU signee DeMario Tolan lead an active linebacker unit.
For the West, five-star safety Xavier Nwankpa (Iowa) and four-star cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau (Texas) have shined all week and will be asked to cover those fleet-footed East wideouts. Utah-bound linebacker Lander Barton has also been a star for the West, while edge defenders such as J’Mond Tapp (Texas) and Nic Caraway (Purdue) are ones to watch during Saturday’s game after strong practice performances.
