Armstead not announcing at Army Bowl

SAN ANTONIO -- Unlike many of the uncommitted athletes at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, four-star lineman Arik Armstead (Elk Grove, Calif./Pleasant Grove) said he has decided against announcing during Saturday’s football game at the Alamodome.

A massive defensive tackle at 6-foot-8 and 290 pounds, Armstead said he eventually will choose between Oregon, California, Notre Dame, Texas and Auburn. The decision, however, will not take place Saturday, as he wants to take as much time as possible to make the proper decision.

“Some schools are stronger academically than others, and some schools have more opportunities as far as education goes,” Armstead said. “All of the schools do a good job of putting guys in the pros, which is very important, too.”

Armstead, a two-sport star in football and basketball, has visited Oregon, Cal and Notre Dame, and he said an official to Texas may be next for him. He said of the five schools, there are no front-runners, but all five schools have agreed to let him play both sports in college.

While the offense dominated, the defense has a few places where an incoming player could step in and play immediately.

Despite having considerable depth along the defensive line, Texas is in need of an anchor to fill the void left by Kheeston Randall.

SAN ANTONIO -- Four-star offensive tackle Kyle Murphy (San Clemente, Calif.) has a list of five schools, but don’t expect him to make a final decision during Saturday’s U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Murphy said he will eventually choose between USC, Stanford, Oregon, Florida and California, but he is considering making a decision after two scheduled visits in January. Murphy, who has visited Oregon and Florida on officials, will visit Stanford the weekend of Jan. 13 and USC the following weekend.

“I was thinking about committing here a while ago,” Murphy said, “but my season in high school ran really late. I didn’t have time to take another official.”
