Tyzon Swann, a junior at Henry E. Lackey High School received his jersey Nov. 9 for the Navy All-American Bowl. The game brings together the top 100 high school football players in the country and has been called the most elite high school sporting event in the U.S.

Swann thanked his family and God. He also recognized Henry E. Lackey High School teacher Leonard Stevenson and thanked Lackey staff, his teammates and friends.

But his thoughts weren’t very far from the game — Swann, a defensive lineman, encouraged everyone to come out 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 12, to see the Chargers play at home.

The Navy All-American Bowl will take place Jan. 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. It will be broadcast on NBC with kickoff at 12:30 p.m.
