If you are a fan of HBCU Football or you just like football in general. Please consider coming out this Sunday to the Atlanta Dome as there will be a full day of football from 8:45-12pm with the youth all-star football game, 3pm HBCU All-Star Football game and at 6pm the State High School All-Star game (a full day of football).

The 3rd Annual HBCU All-Star Bowl is the nation's premier senior all-star game which selects the top 120 draft-eligible seniors from the major HBCU Football Conferences, the MEAC, SWAC, SIAC, and CIAA. In the three year history, professional scouts from the NFL, CFL, UFL, and Arena Football have attended the HBCU All-Star Bowl to evaluate the quality of HBCU players available. The bowl week kickoffs with a one day Official Combine administered by National Football Scouting, of Indianapolis, Indiana. Along with the combine, the bowl week schedule includes practices and player interviews with professional teams. The week also includes player hospital visits, a life skills session, financial advisor seminar and entertainment weekend events.

The 2011 NFL Draft weekend resulted with a total of three HBCU Football players from the 2010 HBCU All-Star Bowl game that were drafted: South Carolina State OL J.C. Culbreath - Detroit Lions, Alabama A&M DL Frank Kearse - Miami Dolphins and Florida A&M CB Curtis Holcomb to the San Francisco 49ers were all drafted in the seventh round. A record total number of thirty-five (35) players from the 2010 HBCU All-Star Bowl signed NFL free agent contracts.

The 2010 NFL Draft produced (2) two HBCU draft picks with Morehouse OL Ramon Harewood going to the Baltimore Ravens and Phillip Adams going to the San Francisco 49ers. (16)sixteen HBCU Football Student Athletes signed free-agent agreements. Each of these eighteen (18) players were participants in the 2009 Russell Athletic HBCU Bowl.

Each year the game features the Best of the Best in HBCU Football. The HBCU All-Star Bowl Committee is proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds from this event benefits The Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta. I love the fact that this event will benefit those in need. For more information, visit this website: http://www.hbcubowl.com/[/url]
