The game, which is broadcast annually by NBC television, is a celebration of high school football excellence that brings together the top 100 senior football players in the nation, and has been a major sporting event for the past 20 years.

The contest will be played in the Alamodome with a noon start on Jan 8. Also named to the all-star rosters were Toriano Pride, a defensive back from East St. Louis Senior; Kaleb Brown, a wide receiver from St. Rita; and Tyler Morris, a wide receiver from Plainfield East.
