Crespi's Jordan Simmons to Play in U.S Army All-American Bowl

Simmons is the first Crespi player to participate in the all-star game.

Crespi Carmelite High School offensive lineman Jordan Simmons was celebrated by his school this week for being chosen to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, set for Jan. 7 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX.

Jordan, who is a senior, is the first Crespi player to participate in the game, and was chosen because he is one of the top 90 high-school footballers in the U.S., according to Paul Rawate, the director of marketing and public relations at Crespi. Simmons was congratulated by Crespi and presented with the jersey he would wear for the January game.

"I'm really looking forward to competing against some of the best guys from back East," said Simmons, according to a press release issued by Crespi.
