FBU 7th Grade All-American Game | Football University

2025 FBU 7th Grade All-American Bowl

December 18, 2025 | Naples, FL

Each year, tens of thousands of athletes strive for the prestigious honor of UA 8th Grade All-American and FBU Freshman All-American, and now it is time for the best players in the country to get seen on a national stage even earlier.
This December, Football University will kick off their first ever FBU 7th Grade All-American Bowl. This game, modeled similarly to the FBU Freshman All-American Bowl, will showcase the top 7th grade talent from all over the country. Two teams comprised of the best 60 student athletes in their graduating class will be selected through nominations, events this past Spring such as FBU Top Gun, and the FBU National Championship. These two teams will square off under the lights after the FBU Championship week orientation in beautiful Naples, FL.

FBU All-Americans experience a star-studded week full of unique experiences on and off the field, a week equivalent to a major college bowl game. Athletes will be treated to exclusive gear, merchandise, and festivities. Athletes will receive coaching from some of the best coaches in the country, practices at state-of-the-art facilities, and a game experience unlike any other in front of thousands of student-athletes and their families in attendance for FBU's Championship Week.
