ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Michael Sawyers 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.
Sawyers, a defensive tackle from Ensworth High School, Nashville Tenn., 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.
Sawyers is going to stay in his home state of Tennessee and attend Vanderbilt University and study international business. He wants to continue to better his life.
“Great experience, there is a lot of competition out here. The Marines mentality is awesome I can hope to be like them when I play.” Sawyers said.
The student athletes selected for the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl exhibit a drive similar to Sawyers 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.
