All-American Bowl game updates

End of game – We’re done in the Alamodome. The West wins the game 34-14.

4:12 4^th quarter – Few were impacted more by coaching changes during their recruitment more than four-star receiver Kevin Coleman out of St. Louis St. Mary’s. Coleman had a long list of schools but narrowed his focus to Florida State, Oregon, Miami and USC. And with coaching changes in Eugene, Coral Gables and Los Angeles, it impacted his decision-making process greatly. But in the end Kevin Coleman shocked the world by picking Jackson State.

4:12 4th quarter – Texas A&M kicking signee Ethan Moczulski nails a 42-yard field goal to give West a 34-14 lead.

6:11 4^th quarter – Four-star EDGE Cyrus Moss of Las Vegas Bishop Gorman didn’t get to play in the All-American Bowl. But that didn’t stop him from having his moment in the sun.

Moss announced he’s committed to Miami Saturday afternoon during the broadcast of the All-American Bowl in the Alamodome. Moss had to do the announcement virtually because he was in isolation due to COVID-19 protocols. Even so, it was a special moment for Moss. It ended one of the few remaining recruitments that there was actual suspense with.

7:11 4^th quarter – TCU DB signee Kyron Chambers picks off Michigan QB signee Jayden Denegal. Chambers looked like he was about to scoot into the end zone for the touchdown, but he somehow fumbled the ball. Good thing for the West, Chambers was able to recover it. It was a pretty impressive pick off by Chambers, who had a good few days of practice in San Antonio after arriving late for the game.

The 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive tackle from Santa Margarita Catholic (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) has been all over the world but it’s brought him to where he feels at home.
