The U.S. Army All-American game for 2010 has yet to be played, but already organizers are looking ahead to next year’s event.

Plant two-way starter James Wilder, Jr. has been selected to participate in the prestigious all-star football game. Wilder was one of 19 players selected by a committee for the 2011 game. This is the earliest organizers have announced players selected for the roster.

“The first selections for the bowl always set the tone for each and every edition of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl,” said Doug Berman, the chairman of SportsLink, the founder of the bowl game. “Every year, the talent in the bowl continues to get more and more impressive.”

This year’s game will be held on Jan. 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio and broadcast live on NBC.
