The FBU and UA Selection Committees will review nominations as they come in. Though there is no specific timeframe, nominations are typically reviewed within a week of submission.

Nomination Portals will remain open until Mid-November. There is no set date for nominations to close, nor is there a set date for team rosters to be set. However, as athletes are selected for the games, fewer spots will be available. The earlier you can submit the better, but we do accept and review nominations until Mid-November.

Only athletes selected for the games will be contacted. 

Padded game film. We also ask that you use current season film. For example, if you are submitting a nomination for the Freshman All-American Bowl, we want to see film from the first part of your freshman year.

Yes, you may submit multiple nominations for the same athlete. However, we ask that you please allow at least one week between nominations. Please do not submit the same film with each subsequent nomination. If multiple submissions are made at the same time, we will only review the last one submitted.

Yes! We accept any highlight links (Hudl, YouTube, NCSA, etc). If you do not have a link to your highlights, we recommend uploading them into a Google Drive Folder and submitting the shared link with your nomination. 
If you cannot upload to Google Drive, you can always email the clips as instructed in the nomination form.

The Selection Committees are looking for the best players in the country. There is no set list of attributes that the selection committee is looking for. Every athlete is different, and every athlete has their own playing style. We simply want to find the best athletes to compete in these games,
