While attending an Offense-Defense Football Camp this Summer, Los Alamos Middle School 7th grader Jaiden Orlando Casados-Valencia of Abiquiu was named an Offense-Defense All-American and invited to participate in the 12th Annual Offense-Defense Bowl Week festivities in December in New Orleans, La.

Casados-Valencia, an offensive/defensive lineman at LAMS was selected for this honor from an outstanding group of thousands of athletes across the country and played well representing Northern New Mexico, easily validating the Bowl Selection Committee’s choice in tabbing him for the All-American tilt.

The Offense-Defense All-American Bowl is the culmination of a week-long program of events. The 12th Annual All-American game is just one of many things that this week encompasses.

Also included is an All-Star football game showcasing 88 of the top high school seniors in the country, and has featured NFL pros such as Heisman Trophy winners Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton, as well as Joe Haden, Dez Bryant and many others before they were collegiate and later professional stars.

Offense-Defense Sports has been running full-contact football instructional camps for the past 48 years and operates in approximately 80 camp locations nationwide all year long.  For more information on camps and locations, visit O-D.com.
