The West squad defeated the East 28-6 at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Game at the Alamodome in San Antonio Saturday afternoon.

The annual matchup featured the top prep football players in the country. Many of the participants have already committed to college programs but some announced their intentions live on NBC during the game.

With the college football season on the horizon, it's time to take a look at the talented student athletes most likely to contend for the prestigious Heisman trophy award in 2013. CLA expects a wide open race with many worthy competitors.

It's not a surprise that K.D. Cannon launched himself onto the national scene at The Opening in Oregon last month. The 2014 WR torched defensive rosters filled with All-American recruits and had several highlight reel touchdown catches.

Today, K.D. Cannon made it official and committed to the University of Baylor.

"I went down there to go watch 'em practice. I had it in my mind that I wanted to commit anyway. I talked to the coaching staff and committed," Cannon told CLA this evening.

KD Cannon Senior Midseason Highlights

Class of 2014 standout safety Jamal Adams is one of the top recruits in the nation. The hard-hitting Adams from Hebron High in Carrollton has scholarship offers from several big time programs around the country. With his senior season approaching, Adams has narrowed his list to five schools.

CLA had the chance to catch up with Adams to discuss the upcoming season, the recruiting process and his experience at The Opening in Beaverton last month.

The Opening: 7on7 Pool Play

The 18 quarterbacks competing for the top prize at the Elite 11 finally got the opportunity to display their abilities in competitive play as 7ON pool play at The Opening kicked off Tuesday afternoon.

Heading into the day, Purdue commit David Blough ranked first in the Elite 11 standings and was placed on Team Superbad along with quarterbacks Stephen Collier and David Cornwell. Joining the signal callers on Superbad are SPARQ champion Speedy Noil, speedster Johnnie Dixon, Jalen Tabor, recent Cal commit Jaleel Wadood and many more D1 bound ballers.

The 2013 B2G Elite Camp at UCLA provided the ideal setting for any aspiring college level athlete. Student-athletes participating in this year's camp walked down the to field for the morning session after having breakfast in the dining hall close to the dorms they'll be housed in for the remainder of the weekend. Campers get to experience firsthand what it's like to be a student-athlete in a college environment, and that's invaluable.

Day one at the IMG 7v7 National Championship gave CLA our first glimpse at what the competition is like down in Florida. Going undefeated in the first day of action, South Florida Express looked cruised through their bracket. The Express' stingy defense only gave up 9 points over the first two games and 2014 quarterback Sean White was on target throughout the day.
