The U.S. Army All-American Bowl selection tour will be stopping in Ooltewah on Dec. 1 to invite Jacques Smith to its annual all-star game in San Antonio.
The defensive end from Ooltewah High School is the News Sentinel’s top prospect in the state and a consensus top 100 prospect nationwide.
Smith committed to UT in February, becoming the first public pledge for the 2010 class.
The U.S. Army All-American Bowl will be played on Jan. 9 and televised on NBC.

An orange mouthpiece with a white T on it would be appropriate for the young man to wear during the game. What do you guys think?

We also have a young man from Clinton Middle School that has been invited to play in the Army All-American middle school bowl as well. Mathew Pyke was selected to play defensive line. He is 6'2" and 280lbs and he's an 8th grader. Good luck Mathew!
