Clarke was among a list of 400 football players nationwide nominated for consideration to the 90-player roster, Tuscarora coach Shawn Carey said, adding he will know on Friday if Clarke has been selected to the 90-player squad, which will be play in the East vs. West Showdown.

Clarke said on Wednesday being among the nominees in itself is quite an honor. "That's pretty exciting," he said.

Clarke, a junior, rushed for 836 yard in eight games for the Titans last fall.

Every high school senior in the country is eligible for selection. The selection process kicks off at the U.S. Army National Combine and proceeds across the country during various combines, camps, and clinics.
