Armwood rising senior athlete/wide receiver Alvin Bailey, a first-team member of the Tampa Tribune’s 2011 All-Hillsborough County football team, has received an offer to compete in next year’s Under Armour All-American Football Game, Hawks offensive coordinator Evan Davis announced Friday.

The annual prep all-star game features some of the nation’s most sought-after senior players and is played at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. It is considered a close rival in status to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Game in San Antonio, Texas, which also showcases highly-recruited senior high school players.

En route to Armwood’s 15-0 record and Class 6A state crown last season, Bailey accounted for more than 2,000 yards of the Hawks’ offense. Bailey passed for 836 yards and 10 touchdowns, rushed for 833 yards and six TDs and caught 22 passes for another 376 yards and two TDs. He currently has 13 offers from Division-I programs: Penn State, Georgia, Florida State, Arkansas, Florida International, Illinois, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Notre Dame, South Carolina, USF, UCF and Vanderbilt.
