By Steve Alic | Posted 12/14/2015

Forty-five (45) of the nation’s best high school football players have been selected to the U.S. Under-19 National Team, which will compete against Canada in the 2016 International Bowl on Friday, Jan. 31, at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas. Kickoff is 3 p.m. CT.

Four high school-aged U.S. National Teams will compete against national teams from Canada in the seventh annual International Bowl series. U.S. Select Teams at the high school andjunior high levels also will compete as part of the series.

All U.S. National Teams are assembled and managed by USA Football, which is recognized as the sport’s national governing body by the U.S. Olympic Committee.

The U.S. Under-19 head coach is Shaun Aguano, who has been the head coach at Chandler High School in Arizona since 2011. The Wolves were 10-2 this season, reaching the Division I state semifinals a year after winning the 2014 state title. Aguano is known for high-powered offenses and former players include Green Bay Packers QB Brett Hundley, Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan, New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Cameron Jordan and Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Markus Wheaton.

All U.S. rosters and coaching staffs are available at www.internationalbowl.com. The final U.S. Under-19 National Team roster will include 50 players. Additional players will be announced in the coming weeks. Canadian rosters will be announced in early 2016.

To be eligible for the Under-19 team, players must have been born on or after Jan. 1, 1997.

The games are a collaboration of the sport’s national governing bodies in each country – USA Football and Football Canada – featuring top student-athletes in high school football’s greatest annual international competition.
