SAN ANTONIO -- Wednesday was a day off for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl teams. Instead of working out and participating in drills, the players took in visits around the city -- including a stop at the Alamodome for photo opportunities and to see their game apparel -- and used the day to recover from two days of practice.
The teams will return to the fields on Thursday in arguably the most important practice of the week. Here are five things to keep an eye on for Thursday’s practice:

While many 2014 recruits will be fired up to perform this spring and summer in front of coaches making campus visits and at various college camps, few will be as motivated as Brett Carter (Tacoma, Wash./Franklin Pierce).
The 6-foot-3, 199-pound linebacker was forced to miss his entire junior season when, two days before the season opener, Carter suffered a compound fracture of his left tibia and fibula.
"They just put in a play for me on offense, which was a tight end middle screen," Carter said. "I made a cut and as I was planting, a defender was pushed down on a block and fell on my leg."

Wide receiver Jalen Brown (Phoenix, Ariz./Mountain Pointe) is making an early run at becoming the most highly recruited player in the West region for the 2014 class. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound two-way standout took another step tonight, as he added offers from Northwestern and Washington.
Brown said he'd been told over the past few days that offers from the Wildcats and Huskies would be coming, but he spoke to head coaches Pat Fitzgerald and Steve Sarkisian on Monday night, and both coaches extended offers.
Brown now holds offers from Pac-12 programs Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Oregon State, UCLA, Utah and Washington, as well as Arkansas, Boise State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, among others. He said national powers Alabama, Florida, Michigan State and Notre Dame have made the most contact of schools that have not yet offered and admitted that this recruiting process could become difficult if things continue to progress this way.

While his teammate Tyler Foreman (Encino, Calif./Crespi) is the bigger name on the recruiting scene, fellow safety Brandon Arnold (Encino, Calif./Crespi) has plenty of eyes on him as well.
With offers from Arizona, Michigan State, Oregon State, Washington State, Colorado, Colorado State, Iowa State and Hawaii, among others, Arnold has plenty of options when looking ahead to college football.
With a strong start to his senior season he will likely see an increase in offers as he has been in touch with two new schools as of late.
