Eden Prairie High School's Willie Mobley and Ryan Grant are among five Minnesotans nominated to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 5, 2008 in San Antonio's Alamodome.

Nationwide, 400 players have been nominated. Eventually, the list of 400 will be trimmed to 80. Twenty-four of the players in last year's game were selected in the NFL draft, eight in the first round.

Sam Maresh of Champlin Park was also nominated, as were Cretin-Derham Hall's Michael Floyd and Joe Schafer.
