On Saturday, Jan. 2, NBC will broadcast a special two-hour “All-American Bowl: Declaration Day” celebrating each of this year’s 100 All-Americans. The All-American Bowl, which was originally scheduled to be played in January 2021 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, will not be played due to health and safety concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2021 All-American Bowl Road to the Dome tour, which began on September 16th and will conclude on December 23rd , officially honors every 2021 All-American during virtual jersey presentations as part of a 15-episode Road to the Dome digital series.
Only 100 football players receive the honor of wearing the All-American Bowl jersey each year.
