Gilman's Jennings to play in Under Armour All-America game

Gilman quarterback Darius Jennings will be the only Baltimore athlete to play in the 2011 Under Armour All-America Game.

The highly recruited senior is one of just two Maryland players to be named an Under Armour All American and be invited to play in the game on Jan. 5 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. DeMatha lineman Cyrus Kouandijo was also invited.The game will be telecast live on ESPN at 7 p.m.

Jennings, an All-Metro first-team selection last season, has amassed 1,733 yards of offense this season. He has rushed 148 times for 1,395 yards and 17 touchdowns and is 20-for-40 passing for 305 yards and one touchdown.

In addition, he has returned five kickoffs for 220 yards and two touchdowns. As a cornerback, he has 20 tackles, seven pass break-ups and one forced fumble.

Jennings said he would make his college choice after the No. 3 Greyhounds' season ends -- and it ends Saturday when they host the 95th meeting with No. 9 McDonogh at 2:30 p.m. He is still considering offers from Maryland, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Boston College, Connecticut, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and UCLA.
