A Hiawatha eighth-grader left last Tuesday for San Antonio to participate in the Football University Youth All-American Bowl.
Peyton Newell, along with his family, was in San Antonio last week. Newell was selected as one of 48 Youth All-Americans to participate in the bowl game at noon on Sunday, Jan. 10.
The FBU Youth All-American Bowl consists of three East vs. West all-star games, one for the top 40 seventh-graders, one for the top 40 eighth-graders and a third game featuring the top 40 eighth-graders with no weight limit.
Arriving on Wednesday last week, the FBU Youth All-Americans participated in many bowl week activities, including practices, a skills competition, break-out sessions with NFL Hall of Famers and current and former NFL stars and celebrities.
Football University is an invitation-only camp for elite-level youth and prep players focusing on teaching technique and skill in a small-group setting under the professional tutelage of former NFL players and coaches.
Thanks to the Hiawatha World Online for the information.
