Tight end Andrew Isaacs of Manchester High School (Manchester, Conn.) has been nominated to play in the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He is the only nominee from the state of Connecticut. Those nominated will have the chance to showcase their talents on Saturday, January 5, 2013, in the annual East vs. West match-up, televised live on NBC at 1:00 PM EST.


“The U.S. Army All-American Bowl provides the national platform for young athletes and musicians to showcase their talent and strength,” said Bruce Jasurda, Chief Marketing Officer, U.S. Army. “This nomination recognizes the mental, emotional and physical strengths, and leadership qualities, Isaacs possesses both on and off the field; qualities he shares with Army Strong Soldiers.  The Army congratulates all of the athletes on their nomination.”

Isaacs was nominated by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which consists of All American Games’ network of regional coaches throughout the country and Rivals.com. Of the 400 nominees, 90 will ultimately be selected and invited to the Bowl. The next step for the nominees occurs in September, when the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour begins. Final player selections along with All-American Marching Band musicians will be announced nationwide throughout the fall, with the Selection Tour ending in early December.
