Playing in the Under Armour All-America Game is a memorable experience for those few and select high school players who are chosen. 

For Southwind defensive end and Alabama signee Jordan Davis, Jan. 4's game is one he will never forget. 

Davis has not seen his father, Gunnery Sgt. Chauncey Davis, since 2016. Thursday night, he surprised Jordan by being announced and coming out of the tunnel, running toward his son. The two embraced in a heartfelt moment.
