Jacksonville, Fla. – Senior football player Kain Daub was presented his honorary game jersey during the American Family Insurance Selection Tour for the 2014 Under Armour All-America High School Football Game at Sandalwood High School in Jacksonville, Fla., today. The event was part of the three-month American Family Insurance Selection Tour for the Under Armour All-America Game.
Daub is one of 90 players selected to compete in the seventh-annual Under Armour All-America Game presented by American Family Insurance, a nationally televised competition spotlighting the country’s top high school seniors. The 2014 Under Armour All-America Game is set for 4 p.m. ET Jan. 2 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., and will be televised on ESPN.
“I decided to play in the Under Armour All-America Game because my whole family can go to the game and because my teammate last year played in the game and told me about his great experience,” Kaub said. “I’m most excited about practicing at the Wide World of Sports. I played basketball there when I was growing up but never got the opportunity to play the sport that I love, which is football. It’s definitely going to be pretty exciting to be there.”
The national Selection Tour sponsored by American Family Insurance is aimed at raising awareness around teen driving safety and recognizing the student athletes, as well as the coaches, families and communities who have helped make these players’ dreams a reality.
“High school football is a focal point for many communities, an opportunity to cheer with a single voice for the team,” said Deborah Peterson, American Family Insurance’s director of customer relationship marketing. “Sponsoring the All-American Game not only is American Family Insurance’s way of honoring the top players across the land, it’s also our salute to the communities that inspired these dreams by continuing the rich tradition of high school football.”
