The Army All-American Bowl celebrated its 20th anniversary on Saturday afternoon and, as always, the 48 minutes of game action are really just filler in between the actual news: commitments.
As always, many of these decisions were made days, weeks and even months ago, but the early signing period has added an extra layer as at least a couple players that announced Saturday actually faxed their paperwork into their respective schools last month.
So though it may not be news to the coaching staffs involved, it’s still news to the public and, as you’ll see below, the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice for the players and their families.
Here are all 10 of Saturday’s pledges.
Four-star cornerback Dwight McGlothern (Spring, Texas) picks LSU over USC, Texas, Oregon and Virginia Tech.
Four-star outside linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (Covington, La.) commits to Texas A&M over Utah, LSU and Mississippi State.
Four-star cornerback Darion Green-Warren (Santa Ana, Calif.) announces he has signed with Michigan over Michigan State, USC, Georgia and Nebraska.
Four-star running back Jalen Berger (Ramsey, N.J.) selects Wisconsin over Rutgers, UCLA, Penn State and LSU.
Four-star wide receiver LV Bunkley-Shelton (Gardena, Calif.) selects Arizona State over Texas, USC, Michigan and Oregon.
