SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The All-American Bowl was Saturday Alamodome. More than 100 of the nation’s top recruits are in attendance were divided up into two teams – the East and West.

Look back at the headlines from the game, including Kevin Coleman‘s shocking decision to commit to Jackson State over Miami, Oregon and a host of other national programs. Despite not getting Coleman, Miami made a big move in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rank after adding Cyrus Moss. Ohio State also added Hero Kanu, and UGA picked up talented OL Earnest Greene.

All-American Bowl game updates

End of game – We’re done in the Alamodome. The West wins the game 34-14.

4:12 4th quarter – Few were impacted more by coaching changes during their recruitment more than four-star receiver Kevin Coleman out of St. Louis St. Mary’s. Coleman had a long list of schools but narrowed his focus to Florida State, Oregon, Miami and USC. And with coaching changes in Eugene, Coral Gables and Los Angeles, it impacted his decision-making process greatly. But in the end Kevin Coleman shocked the world by picking Jackson State.

4:12 4th quarter – Texas A&M kicking signee Ethan Moczulski nails a 42-yard field goal to give West a 34-14 lead.

6:11 4th quarter – Four-star EDGE Cyrus Moss of Las Vegas Bishop Gorman didn’t get to play in the All-American Bowl. But that didn’t stop him from having his moment in the sun.

Moss announced he’s committed to Miami Saturday afternoon during the broadcast of the All-American Bowl in the Alamodome. Moss had to do the announcement virtually because he was in isolation due to COVID-19 protocols. Even so, it was a special moment for Moss. It ended one of the few remaining recruitments that there was actual suspense with.

7:11 4th quarter – TCU DB signee Kyron Chambers picks off Michigan QB signee Jayden Denegal. Chambers looked like he was about to scoot into the end zone for the touchdown, but he somehow fumbled the ball. Good thing for the West, Chambers was able to recover it. It was a pretty impressive pick off by Chambers, who had a good few days of practice in San Antonio after arriving late for the game.

10:56 4th quarter – Texas A&M signee Ethan Moczulski nails a field goal to extend the West’s lead to 31-14.

Start of 4th quarter – Hero Kanu didn’t get to make his decision on the big stage he was hoping for. But that doesn’t change anything else about his experience. The 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive tackle from Santa Margarita Catholic (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) has been all over the world but it’s brought him to where he feels at home. That is, and has been, Ohio State. Read more about his Ohio State commitment here in this story from On3’s Jeremy Birmingham.
