US Army All-American Bowl Awards:

Fastest Player: Lache Seastrunk RB, 5-11/192, Temple (Texas) Temple

He showed extreme quickness and speed throughout the week at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl practices. He challenged DeAndrew White, Robert Woods and Dior Mathis in a race and came away victorious.

Best Rusher: Spencer Ware ATH, 5-11/220, Cincinnati (Ohio) Princeton

Many doubted that a quarterback could make the transition to running back. Ware not only made transition but also ran hard with natural forward body lean all week, and he ended up being the leading rusher in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Honorable Mention: Dillon Baxter

Most Physical: Cassius Marsh DT, 6-3/275, Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian

He's a nasty player who pushed his teammates during the week. Marsh had a blocked field goal that resulted in a touchdown in the game. He was considered by many to be the top defensive performer for the West during the scrimmage and Thursday's practice.

Honorable Mention: Sharrif Floyd


Stock Rising: Cassius Marsh

He dominated all week during practice because of his superior effort and nasty disposition on the field. Marsh also proved to have the frame and athletic ability to play either defensive end or defensive tackle, which is the toughest combination for college coaches to find on the recruiting trail.

Honorable Mention: Jeffrey Whitaker, Spencer Ware

Stock Dropping: Lache Seastrunk

He seemed very aloof at times and was late for meetings throughout the week. Seastrunk's ball security was less than desirable; he carried the ball around like a loaf of bread. There are two big questions about this talented athlete: How serious is he about the game? Can he become an every-down back?

Honorable Mention: Ahmad Dixon
