St. Johns College High duo receive UA jerseys

Linebacker Aaron Hansford and defensive lineman Terrell Hall, 2016 prospects at St. John's College High in Washington, D.C., were presented their honorary game jerseys at the American Family Insurance Selection Tour for the 2016 Under Armour All-America High School Football Game on Monday.

The event was part of the three-month American Family Insurance Selection Tour for the Under Armour All-America Game.

Hall and Hansford are two of more than 90 players selected to compete in the ninth-annual Under Armour All-America Game presented by American Family Insurance, a nationally televised showcase spotlighting the country's top high school seniors. The 2016 Under Armour All-America Game is slated for Saturday, Jan. 2 and will be televised live on ESPN2.

"I was honored to play in the Under Armour All-America game because just the fact that St. John's College is an Under Armour school and Kevin Plank he graduated from this school, so I felt like it was needed for me to play in this game," Hall said.

"What made me decide to accept this invitation was that I go to an Under Armour school, (though) that is not the main reason," Hansford said. "The main reason is that I have been dreaming about this since I was a kid and the fact that Kevin Plank went to this school and he created Under Armour entices me more to want to follow in his foot steps"
