The nation’s top high school football recruits matched up at the Alamodome (San Antonio, Texas) on Saturday for the 2023 All-American Bowl, a final curtain for much of the early signing buzz and Class of 2023 headlining that began in December.
While this current recruiting cycle had been a flourish of commitment flips and breaking news at seemingly every hour of the day, the All-American Bowl didn’t continue the trend: When the clock hit zero in the fourth, the East stood as the victors, a defiant handling of the West 55-17.
However, the outcome didn’t mean there wasn’t a heavy dose of highlight-reel material throughout the game—a sign of what college football fans can expect to see in the seasons ahead.
