All-Star Squad Announced For 2011 Alabama-Mississippi Game 

   MONTGOMERY- Quarterbacks Jameis Winston of Hueytown and Jonathan Wallace of Central-Phenix City high schools headline the 40-player Alabama All-Star Team selected to face Mississippi in the 25^th annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Football Game Dec. 10.

  The squad, comprised of current high school seniors, was announced Wednesday by Steve Bailey, Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association.

   The annual contest, an event of the AHSADCA and the Alabama High School Athletic Association, is moving to Montgomery's Cramton Bowl with the kickoff set for 12:30 p.m. Alabama holds a 17-7 edge in the series played at Mobile's Ladd-Peebles Stadium every year since its inception in 1988. Alabama won last year's game 24-17 in two overtimes and currently owns a three-game winning streak in the series.

    Head coach for the Alabama All-Stars is Decatur Coach Jere Adcock. 

    Winston, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound senior who has guided Hueytown to a 6-0 record this season, is rated the top quarterback prospect in the nation by several recruiting services. He is also projected to be a high draft choice in the Professional Baseball Draft next June. Winston earned North Team MVP honors in the 2011 All-Star Sports Week North-South baseball series.  Wallace, a 6-1, 205-pound Southern Miss commitment, has guided Central to a 5-1 record and is also drawing rave reviews from recruiters. Both quarterbacks are strong passers and runners.

    "We think this is one of the most talented teams we've had in years," said AHSADCA Director Steve Bailey. "The selection committee has done another outstanding job as usual in assembling our team."

     Alabama's squad features 24 players who have already announced college choices, including five to the University of Alabama and two to Auburn University. Commitments to the Crimson Tide include Prattville offensive lineman Caleb Gulledge, Daphne linebacker Ryan Anderson, Thomasville linebacker Tyler Hayes, Bob Jones linebacker Reggie Ragland and Vigor defensive end Darius Philon. Daphne running back T.J. Yeldon and Escambia County defensive lineman Tyler Nero are committed to Auburn.

    The largest player on the squad is Davidson's 6-5, 363-pound defensive lineman Alphonse Taylor, who has committed to Florida State. Vanderbilt commitment Torey Agee of Opelika, a 6-4, 250-pound defensive end, is the son of former Auburn and NFL standout Tommy Agee.

    Purdue, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Troy, Samford, South Alabama and Georgia State also have at least one commitment on the Alabama squad with 16 players still uncommitted.

    The 40-man roster and coaching staff for the 2011 All-Star Game include:
