Alonso defensive end Anthony Chickillo became the latest Hillsborough County football player to receive an invitation to a distinguished national event.

Chickillo was invited to participate in the annual Under Armour All-American Game in January at Tropicana Field. One of the top defensive players in the state, he likely will receive an invitation to the U.S. Army All-American Game and will have to choose between the two.

In addition to the invitation, Chickillo recently picked two more offers from Auburn and Ole Miss. He has listed his favorite as Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Tennessee, UCLA, Southern Cal and Virginia Tech, but also said he liked the visits he had with the latest programs to offer.

The Tribune featured Chickillo earlier this summer. You can read the article here.
