College Teams with the Most 2017 Under Armour All-America Recruits

While the end of December brings new-year celebrations, it also marks the arrival of the Under Armour All-America Game.

In 2017, the national showcase is loaded with talented prospects who are committed to some of the nation's most respected programs. Five college football teams are expecting the arrival of five-plus players from the event.

The last three schools highlighted won't come as a surprise, since the 2016-17 recruiting climate would consider them among the usual suspects. Still, each other team is recognized as a power program.

And, depending on how the week progresses, a few of the schools might end the showcase with another commit or two on board.

Notre Dame

Commits: 5

Notre Dame's 2016 campaign ended in deflating fashion, but the offseason should bring favorable results to South Bend, Indiana.

Tight end Brock Wright is the highest-rated commit at No. 83 overall. He's joined on Team Highlight by offensive lineman Robert Hainsey but will oppose three future Fighting Irish teammates.

Team Armour boasts a quarterback-receiver connection in Avery Davis and Paulson (Saiid) Adebo. Notre Dame's final verbal pledge at the event is David Adams, a 4-star linebacker.

Brian Kelly and his staff are poised to land a top-10 class.

Texas A&M

Commits: 6

Next season, Texas A&M needs a new quarterback. In the near future, the Aggies will replace their top four receivers.

This quartet could ease that transition. Kellen Mond will be throwing to Jhamon Ausbon and Hezekiah Jones on Team Highlight, and Camron Buckley will be running routes for Team Armour.

Defensive end Tyree Johnson and 5-star linebacker Anthony Hines III will also be on opposite teams, representing Texas A&M on Highlight and Armour, respectively.

Although Kevin Sumlin's win-loss results are causing some frustration, he and the Aggies are thriving off the field. Recruiting alone can't save a job, but Sumlin's warming seat can be temporarily cooled with success on the trail.

Michigan

Commits: 6

Michigan fell one victory short of attaining a berth in the Big Ten Championship, but Jim Harbaugh and Co. are succeeding on the trail.

The program's most recent verbal pledge is outside linebacker Drew Singleton, who, at No. 72 overall, is the Wolverines' top prospect participating in the Under Armour All-America festivities.

Singleton may get some early experience sharing the field with defensive end Kwity Paye on Team Highlight. On the other side of the ball, center Cesar Ruiz will be snapping it.

Michigan also has three representatives on Team Armour. Each of them—offensive tackle Kai-Leon Herbert, defensive end Luiji Vilain and safety Jaylen Kelly-Powell—are 4-star prospects.

LSU

Commits: 8

Like Texas A&M, Michigan and Alabama, each unit of Team Armour and Team Highlight includes at least one LSU verbal commit.

Team Armour showcases what many Tigers fans hope will be a popular connection in the future with athlete (wide receiver) Jacoby Stevens. The current question is whether Myles Brennan or Lowell Narcisse will be throwing Stevens the ball.

Cornerback Kary Vincent Jr. and safety Grant Delpit will play alongside each other in Armour's secondary, while Austin Deculus and Edward Ingram will share Highlight's offensive line.

LSU's final commit is Tyler Shelvin, the program's third-highest prospect for the 2017 class behind Stevens and Deculus.

Alabama

Commits: 8

Leading Alabama's group of commits is a pair of 5-star talents in No. 6 overall prospect Dylan Moses and No. 18 Alex Leatherwood.

Moses is a headliner for the Team Armour defense, and he'll practice with a pair of potential future teammates in D-tackle Akial Byers and fellow linebacker Markail Benton. Leatherwood will block for the offense in hopes of wideout Jerry Jeudy making a big play.

Team Highlight includes three more 'Bama pledges, highlighted by offensive tackle Jedrick Wills. Outside linebacker Chris Allen and safety Daniel Wright round out the group.

Alabama will also be watching 5-star athlete Deangelo Gibbs, who is expected to announce his college choice.
