Wide Receivers Named O-D All-Americans

This year's East squad will feature wide receivers with plenty of speed and size. Leading the group is four-star prospect Malcolm Lewis of Miramar, Florida. Lewis recently committed to Miami (FL) while holding offers from a dozen schools, including LSU, Florida State, Florida, Alabama, Wake Forest, West Virginia, Nebraska, and Ohio State among others.

Joining him will be South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year Quinshad Davis of Gaffney High School, a four-star prospect who has yet to commit but holds offers from Clemson, Illinois, Wake Forest, South Carolina, and North Carolina State. Two four-star South Carolina commitments will join him in Kwinton Smith of Dillon and Sun Valley’s Jody Fuller Jr. Tennessee four-star commitment Jason Croom of Norcross, Georgia will fill out the group.

"Lewis is a speedy athlete who can make big plays while Davis, Croom, and Smith are big possession type threats who give defensive backs nightmares. Fuller is a well rounded player who catches everything, "said Offense-Defense Director of Player Personnel Josh Buchanan, "This group is very talented with every single one of them possessing big time potential at the next level."

The West squad will be headlined by Wyoming Valley’s Eugene Lewis, a four-star Penn State commitment. Lewis held offers from Boston College, Illinois, Louisville, North Carolina State, Michigan State, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin. 

Another highly-touted prospect coming to the game is four-star prospect D’vario Montgomery who recently pulled a surprise by committing to South Florida while holding over 20 offers that included Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, Illinois, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Purdue, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas A&M among others.

The group will be rounded out by four-star Oklahoma State commitment CJ Curry and two three-star prospects in LSU commitment Kavahra Holmes and Ohio State commitment Roger Lewis.

"Montgomery and Lewis are both big time playmakers who could have gone just about anywhere they wanted, "said Buchanan, "They're going to do great things at the next level. Holmes and Lewis are highly underrated speedsters with big play potential and Curry is a solid possession threat who reminds me of Dez Bryant."

The Offense-Defense All-American Bowl is part of the largest Youth All-America Event in the country known as Offense-Defense Bowl Week, a series of events taking place during the last week of the year culminating in the nationally-televised high school All-Star game on December 29th. The game has in the past seen the on-field talents of a wide swath of football stardom including Dez Bryant, Cameron Newton, Stephen Garcia, Rolando McClain, and Joe Haden among many others.

In addition to the high school game at Cowboys Stadium, events will include a Youth All-American Game, a Youth National Tournament, a High School Junior game, and a Youth Football Convention, all within the confines of Arlington, TX. The Youth Convention will be held at the Sheraton Hotel in Arlington on December 26-28 starting at 10am on the 26th. The event is expected to bring over 8,000 families from across the country to the region.
