The West squad won the US Army All-American Bowl over the weekend, but several Georgians made some nice contributions for the East Team. Lowndes Josh Clemons finished with three tackles and one TFL but Barton Simmons of 247Sports said that “he seemed like he was everywhere.” Simmons also praised Clemons long arms and said he showed great range. Mike Davis ran for just 13 yards on six carries but he did chip in with 31 receiving yards on two carches. Of Davis, Simmons said, “The manner in which Davis goes about his business is hard not to like. He is a north-south back that has a running style made for the NFL.”
Georgia had six players in the US Army All-American Bowl, including Dillon Lee, Geno Smith, Raphael Kirby and Ukeme Eligwe in addition to Davis and Clemons. Two coaches also served as East assistants as Duluth’s Corey Jarvis and Lowndes’ Randy McPherson roamed the San Antonio sidelines.
In the Under Armour All-America game last Thursday, Jordan Jenkins tied former Buford standout Omar Hunter’s sack record as the Harris County defensive end recorded a pair of quarterback takedowns. He did not declare his college intentions, and instead he is scheduled to announce today.
Meanwhile Chaz Elder of Banneker revealed during the game that he is headed to play for Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks. Joshua Holsey, John Atkins, Brandon Greene and Austin Hardin also appeared in the game along with several other Peach State natives. Georgia had 10 players represented at the Under Armour All-America game.
In local all-star games, the North beat the South in the GACA all-star game and the West held off the East in the AT&T Georgia Junior Bowl. Joshua Dobbs, Carlos Burse and Tray Matthews were outstanding in the Junior Bowl, presented by Rising Seniors. Meanwhile Carver-Columbus’ Deion Bonner snagged two interceptions in the GACA North-South All-Star Football Classic.
