The 2010 Under Armour All-American game was a big one for Texas fans and for several future Longhorns. There was a fun week of events, incredible learning opportunities with top coaches and players and practices, and the week ended with an exciting (but very sloppy) game where the Black Team won big. Check out a few photos of the game above and below but be sure to check the ESPN and Rivals for more, higher resolution images.

One of the best players on the field during Saturday’s [tag]Under Armour All-American[/tag] game was defensive tackle [tag]Taylor Bible[/tag]. He played solid in the middle of the dominant Black Team defense, got frequent push, and made a few plays in the backfield. In the interview below, Bible talks to ESPN about how he and his teammates played, and about his future as a possible running back…

The Longhorns are still focused on the big prize with the national title game looming Thursday, but fans need to pay attention to the future by checking out today’s Under Armour All-America Game live on ESPN at 10am Central.

One of two major high school all star games, the Under Armour game features six future Horns and three huge remaining targets. Keep an eye on the wide receiver position for both teams as [tag]Demarco Cobbs[/tag] and [tag]Mike Davis[/tag] are two of the Horns’ latest and most explosive commits, and 5-star stud [tag]Darius White[/tag] is expected to announce his future destination during the game. The Black Team defense is loaded with Horns. Defensive tackles [tag]Ashton Dorsey[/tag] and [tag]Taylor Bible[/tag] will be backed by linebackers who all may end up playing for the Horns in commit [tag]Aaron Benson[/tag] and targets [tag]Jordan Hicks[/tag] and [tag]Corey Nelson[/tag].

The 2010 Under Armour All-American game features tons of future Horns, but some of the most interesting matchups include two guys who haven’t made their decision yet. Five-star wideout [tag]Darius White[/tag] will announce his college choice during Saturday’s game, while top linebacker [tag]Jordan Hicks[/tag] is reportedly down to Texas and [tag]Florida[/tag].

ESPNU is covering the Under Armour All-American practices this week and they’re also doing live blogs as things happen. They’ve posted some video of practice featuring at least one future Longhorn wide receiver. #2 is recent commit [tag]Mike Davis[/tag] from Dallas Skyline and #4 [tag]Darius White[/tag] is one of the Horns’ big remaining targets left out there. Check them out…

Not a lot of video of Davis, but very impressed with the his hands in the two catches they showed. Definitely looks like a natural pass catches and not just an athlete playing wide receiver.

Another day another high school all-star game full of future Texas Longhorns. Tonight five Texas commits will play in the Under Armour All-America Game live on ESPN at 7pm Central.
