Butler High receiver Uriah LeMay has been named to the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl Jan. 4 in Carson, Calif.

LeMay, a senior, was named to the East team in the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. The game will be broadcast on Jan. 4, 2013, live on NFL Network at 9 p.m. from Carson, Calif.

The Marine Corps is recognizing high school student athletes across the country during its All-American Selection Tour, the second phase of its Semper Fidelis Football Program.

LeMay is a four-star receiver who has committed to play at Georgia, where his brother Christian is a Bulldogs quarterback.

Organizers selected LeMay for his athletic performance,  character, academic achievement, and leadership. Students honored as part of the All-American Selection Tour exhibit a drive similar to LeMay’s in that they have more than outstanding athletic ability they also exemplify youth leadership and display the Marine Corps’ values of honor, courage, and commitment to build life skills both on and off the field.

The Semper Fidelis Football Program includes a series of youth football camps, the All-American Selection Tour, and the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. Through the program, the Marine Corps engages with well-rounded student athletes to share leadership lessons that will enable future success.
