Five hundred of the nation’s top high school football underclassmen will again gather in San Antonio this January for the U.S. Army National Combine. The U.S. Army National Combine is specifically designed to highlight the football abilities and talents of today’s rising underclassmen and tomorrow’s future high school, college, and NFL stars.

The three-day event, held annually in association with the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, is the first opportunity for the nation’s top underclassmen to demonstrate their physical talent and compete against one another amongst high school and college football’s top scouting organizations, as well as the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which features Tom Lemming and Rivals.com.

Modeled after the NFL combine, all combine tests and competitive drills will take place in the Alamodome. Athletes will receive apparel and gear at the event. In addition, athletes will receive lunch, bus transportation, and a ticket to attend the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

U.S. Army National Combine alumni include: Ted Ginn Jr. (Miami Dolphins), Donte Whitner (Buffalo Bills), Jamaal Charles (Kansas City Chiefs), Tim Tebow (Florida), Colt McCoy (Texas), Matt Stafford (Georgia), Tom Zbikowski (Notre Dame), Myron Rolle (Florida State), Derrick Williams (Penn State) and Armando Allen (Notre Dame)
