Michigan football commit Kellen Jones to represent Team USA on national signing day
By Pete Cunningham
Kellen Jones
The team will play against a collection of athletes from four continents in the second annual Team USA vs. The World game at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Austin (Texas) Westlake High School.
Jones, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound linebacker, is one of the 45 U.S. high school seniors to take part in the game to be held on national signing day, the same day he is expected to sign his national letter of intent with the Wolverines.
A national team exemption granted by the NCAA allows high school seniors to play for USA Football and not have their participation count as one of two permitted all-star game appearances.
The game will be streamed live at www.highschoolsports.net/usafootball.

Happy NSD. I hope everyone at A2 DC can cover it from home tomorrow instead of going out in the blizzard. Get those cell phones and computers ready....

Does anybody know if this game will be televised at all, other than at <a href="http://www.highschoolsports.net/usafootball?" rel='nofollow'>www.highschoolsports.net/usafootball?</a> I'd like to watch it on my HD TV rather than my bad computer monitor.

I live a few miles away from where this game is being played. I think I'll put on my Michigan gear and go cheer for Kellen! Go Blue!
