FUMA's Dowtin playing in prime time
Marcus Dowtin, a senior at Fork Union Military Academy, will be playing in the O-D All-American Bowl on Friday, January 4, 2008 in Miami, Florida. The game will be televised live by Fox College Sports (FCS) starting at 8:00pm. This will be the last football game played in the historic Orange Bowl Stadium.
This is the second-annual Offense-Defense All-American Bowl. A select group of 88 of the finest high school football players from across the United States will be divided into East and West squads. Dowtin, who has committed to University of Georgia, will play on the East squad coached by legendary ex-NFL wide receiver and current HBO football analyst Cris Carter.
The Offense-Defense All-American Bowl Selection Committee conducts and supervises the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl selection process. The committee is comprised of ex NFL coaches, scouts and players. The Selection Committee evaluates athletes across the country, starting with those who attend the Offense-Defense Elite Camps. The committee then proceeds evaluate thousands of the nation's top prospects during the spring and summer. The top 100 seniors in the nation are then nominated and considered for selection to the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl. Of the nominees, approximately 80 Offense-Defense All-Americans are selected and invited to play in the early January All-Star event. Offense-Defense All-Americans are selected during the Offense-Defense Elite Camp Tour, which takes place throughout the summer. All Offense-Defense All-Americans must be in good standing within their schools and surrounding communities.
