Eight of Michigan's top 2018 high school football prospects were nominated to play in the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Thursday.

Detroit Cass Tech defensive backs Kalon Gervin and DeAndre Square, Traverse City West offensive lineman Ryan Hayes, Dearborn Divine Child defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson, Oak Park offensive lineman Marquan McCall, Farmington Hills Harrison linebacker Ovie Oghoufo, Muskegon offensive lineman Antwan Reed and Detroit East English Village offensive lineman Tyrone Sampson Jr. were all nominated to play in the premier high school event held annually in San Antonio.
