The All-American Bowl — an annual all-star event where some of the greatest H.S. football players EVER have competed — will not have a game this year … and it’s all ’cause of COVID.
Officials announced Tuesday they’ve canceled the event over coronavirus concerns … and instead plan to have a “showcase” where some recruits will announce their college decisions.
“Due to the environment we find ourselves in and the health and safety of our All-Americans and their families our first priority,” bowl officials said in a statement, “we have made the extremely difficult decision to not play this year’s All-American Bowl.”
It’s a HUGE bummer … the game is always loaded with future college and NFL stars — in the past, guys like Vince Young, DeSean Jackson and Joe Mixon have won MVP honors.
Bowl officials say they’re still planning to keep the game on for next season … writing in the statement, “We’ll see you in San Antonio in 2022.”
