Round Lake youth named football All-American

Submitted by Offense-Defense All-American Bowl Committee

While attending an Offense-Defense Football Camp this summer, Logan Jared, 11, of Round Lake was named an Offense-Defense All-American and invited to participate in the eighth annual Offense-Defense Bowl Week festivities taking place at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla.

Logan, a linebacker for the Grant Jr. Bulldogs, was selected for this honor from a group of young athletes numbering in the thousands across the country and played well representing the Grant community, easily validating the Bowl Selection Committee’s choice.

Logan was selected as an MVP for offensive line last year and played in the seventh annual Offense-Defense Bowl game at the Houston Texans’ Reliant Stadium.

The Offense-Defense Youth All-American Bowl is part of a weeklong series of events, including the televised Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, an All-Star football game showcasing 88 of the top high school seniors in the country, and has featured current NFL pros such as Cam Newton, Carlos Dunlap, and Dez Bryant, among others, before they were collegiate and later professional stars.

Offense-Defense Sports has been running full-contact football instructional camps for the past 45 years and currently operates in approximately 40 camp locations nationwide every spring and summer.
