This is the fifth-annual Under Armour All-America High School Football Game.

 

Tonight’s attendance of 24,710 is the second-largest attendance for the Under Armour All-America Game.  The highest attendance (25,382) was from the 2009 game, which was held at the Florida Citrus Bowl.

 

Brian Poole’s 93-yard interception return for a touchdown set an Under Armour All-America Game record for an interception return and set the record for the longest touchdown play in the event’s five-year history.

 

Amari Cooper’s 93-yard punt return set the record for the longest punt return for a touchdown and tied Brian Poole’s 93-yard interception return as the longest touchdown play in Under Armour Game history.

 

Quarterback Tanner Mangum switched from the White Team to the Black Team at halftime due to injuries suffered by Black Team quarterbacks Chad Kelly, Preston Dewey, and Connor Brewer.
