CARSON, Calif. - Zaycoven Henderson is Recognized for Academic and Athletic Excellence; Selected to Play in Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl.
The United States Marine Corps is recognizing exemplary student athletes across the country through the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. Now in its third year, the game will feature 90 student athletes selected from across the country based on their athletic prowess, academic success and embodiment of the Marine Corps values of honor, courage and commitment.
Henderson, a defensive tackle from Longview High School, Longview, TX, is among those selected to participate in the nationally televised Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. The game will be broadcast on January 5, 2014, live on Fox Sports 1 at 6 p.m. PST from The StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
“I’m most excited about dealing with the (players) and being a motivation for them and letting them know that somebody out there cares,” said Henderson, committed to the University of Texas.
The student athletes selected for the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl exhibit a drive similar to Henderson in that they have more than outstanding athletic ability – they also exemplify youth leadership and are committed to building life skills both on and off the field.
The Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl is the culmination of the Marine Corps’ Semper Fidelis Football Program, which also includes an All-American Selection Tour. Through the program, the Marine Corps purposefully engages with well-rounded student athletes to share leadership lessons that will enable future success.
“It’s great training with the Marines,” said Henderson. “They push us to a level that most of us haven’t been pushed to before. I like the motivation and completion in it. I hope take away being more mentally strong and not weak minded and don’t quit.”
