Green, Julio Jones, Manti Te&amp;rsquo;o, Matt Barkley, Trent Richardson, Jameis Winston, Jadeveon Clowney, Andrus Peat and Christian Hackenberg have made their first big college splash at the Under Armour All-American game.The All-Star event is a showcase for college football&amp;rsquo;s next generation of gridiron stars. Frankly, who wins or loses the game means very little to anyone &amp;mdash; the players, fans, coaches or family members in the crowd.

SEC schools LSU, Arkansas, Auburn and Alabama will have their future signal-caller playing in Brandon Harris, Rafe Peavey, Sean White and David Cornwell. There are many who believe Cornwell, the No. 4-rated pro-style passer by 247Sports, could be the starter for Nick Saban as early as next fall.Penn State&amp;rsquo;s Michael O&amp;rsquo;Connor, Stanford&amp;rsquo;s Keller Chryst, Oklahoma&amp;rsquo;s Justice Hansen, Oregon&amp;rsquo;s Morgan Mahalak, Clemson&amp;rsquo;s Deshaun Watson and Michigan&amp;rsquo;s Wilton Speight will all be featured as well.

The group features the No. 1 player in the nation, six of the top 25 players in the nation and two more ranked in the top 70.

Cardinal NewmanRank: No. 69, No. 7 WRSchools: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, MiamiOther names to watch:The No. 1-rated defensive tackle in the nation, Andrew Brown, is committed to Virginia and has played well in practice. Could he save Mike London&amp;rsquo;s job? Keep an eye on the big fella from famed Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, Va.Michigan has a future star in do-everything athlete Jabrill Peppers out of Paramus (N.J.) Catholic. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder is as talented a defensive prospect as scouts have seen in years so his No. 2 overall ranking in the nation should be warranted. Be sure to find Peppers on Thursday afternoon.The No. 100-rated player in the nation is future Alabama wide receiver Cameron Sims. The Mike Evans-clone has been excellent in practice and could be a productive target for whomever is under center in Tuscaloosa. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder simply makes plays and the Under Armour game should be no different.Dillon Bates is the son of NFL All-Pro tackler Bill Bates and his football IQ and development is befitting an NFL offspring. He needs to gain some poundage to play quickly for Tennessee but his ability to make plays and be in the right position is uncanny for a player of his age. Watch for Bates to be all over the field on Thursday.Jacory Washington may get lost among a long list of elite wide receivers in attendance this year. But the No. 6-rated tight end prospect in the nation from Westlake (La.) High has been a bright spot in practice and could find himself moving up rankings following the All-American game.Under Armour 2014 All-American Game Rosters "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
