The Offense-Defense player selection committee has begun evaluations and has sent invitations to a select group for the 2013 O-D All-American Bowl, set to be played in early January, 2013.
The committee has been combing through film, talking to coaches, and meeting weekly as they stack their board. They will continue to evaluate prospects throughout the spring, summer, and into the season until the roster is finalized by October.
Players hoping to be selected for the game need to be nominated by September 15th as the selection process for this year’s game will end earlier than ever before. Coaches, players, and fans can send nominations to the committee through Offense-Defense or call 1-843-903-1888.
"Our committee did an excellent job this past year and we expect them to put together an even better roster for our 2013 game, "said Offense-Defense President Rick Whittier, "I’m confident in our evaluation process to help us bring in the best possible talent Offense-Defense can get."
