Carlo Kemp of Fairview in Boulder has been nominated to play in the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Kemp, All-Colorado by The Denver Post the past season as a junior, will have the chance to showcase his talents on Saturday, Jan. 9, in the annual East vs. West matchup, to be televised live on NBC at 11 a.m. MST.
“The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is a unique event designed to showcase and recognize the talents of America’s youth while celebrating the team that makes a difference every day for the Nation – the U.S. Army,” said Mark S. Davis, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for marketing. “This nomination recognizes the versatility and adaptability the athlete possesses both on and off the field; qualities he shares with U.S. Army Soldiers. We look forward to the 2016 Army All-American Bowl program that includes more than 200 events across the country and culminates in San Antonio during game week.”
Kemp, who has played multiple positions but probably will play linebacker in college, was nominated by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which consists of All American Games, 247Sports, and XOS Digital, and All American Games’ network of regional coaches throughout the country. Of the 400 nominees, 90 will be ultimately selected and invited to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The next step for the nominees occurs in September, when the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour begins. Player finalists along with U.S. Army All-American Marching Band musicians will be announced nationwide throughout the fall, with the Selection Tour ending in early December.
Kemp’s recruiting list continues to grow and includes the University of Colorado and Colorado State.
The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is in its 16th year.
