Cougars star Tyler Moore gets U.S. Army invite

James Wilder Jr. of Plant isn’t the area’s only junior to have received an invite to play in the 2011 U.S. Army All-America Game. Countryside OT Tyler Moore also got one.

Moore’s father, Brian, confirmed this news Saturday night.

The 6-foot-6, 290-pound Moore is likely to be ranked among the country’s top prospects next season. In 2009, he anchored a dominant Countryside line.

Moore committed to Nebraska a few months ago. Florida was his runnerup.

Tampa Catholic QB/ATH Christian Green is playing in this year's U.S. Army All-America Game.

Selections to the game are made by a committee that includes Rivals.com recruiting analysts.

More than 90 U.S. Army game alums have played in the NFL.
