While the ongoing College Football Playoff is dominating discussions surrounding the sport, teams always need to keep an eye on the future. And the future

The Under Armour All-American Game 2025 took place last week in Central Florida, with Team Icon coming away with a 31-19 victory over Team Unstoppable. Plenty of the country's top recruits were on full display in front of a national audience showing off what they got to their future college fan bases.

The younger McManus attended an Under Armour regional camp in Baltimore in May and made a lasting impression. In December a representative from the event called Pat Ward, the coach at St. John’s, to relay a message: A spot in the All-America game was waiting for McManus.

Florida Gators football fans got to see a little bit of the future Thursday during the Under Armour All-America  Game at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand. There was plenty of action from six players who are either signed with Florida or have committed to play for the Gators.

Fellow elite 2026 prospect, tight end Kaiden Prothro, was also one of the participants for the Under Armour All-American Game. He is considering Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Ole Miss, Texas and USC currently and is ranked as the No. 2 player at his position in the class.
