Danville High School Football Player Competing for Spot in 'Under Armour All-American Football Game'

DANVILLE, CA — A Danville high school football player committed to play for USC in 2017 is hoping to add one more distinguished accomplishment to his sports resume before heading off to college. Monte Vista High School Senior Erik Krommenhoek is competing against other 16 other athletes for one of two spots left on the coveted Under Armour All-American High School Football team on New Year’s Day in Orlando, Florida.

The 6-foot-6 tight end weighs in at 243 pounds and officially committed to USC in June of 2016.

“He has worked hard on and off the field to get where he is,” Julie Krommenhoek, Erik’s mother said. “He would love to play in the All American Game but needs fan votes to get there.”

Krommenhoek said more than 100 kids from around the country are already on the roster, and none of them are from Northern California.

The community can vote for Erik by visiting the Under Armour Game website. Voting started earlier this month and ends on Nov. 15.
