Larry Blustein and Kim Bokamper will kick the impressive Pro Bowl weekend off on Thursday night with three outstanding guests from 9-10.

Pompano Beach Blanche Ely quarterback Michael German, International Federation of American Football Managing Director Michael Preston and Linda Doyle of Arena Marketing & Advertising will talk football.

Listen live at WQAM from 9-10pm on Thursday, January 28.

German, who led Broward County in passing this year while directing the Tigers three rounds deep in the state playoffs, will talk about the recruiting process.

The gifted signal caller, who was the MVP of the Nike Miami-Dade/Broward All-Star game, has found the recruiting trails tough as colleges and universities who were on this standout early, seemed to fade into the horizon.

Most likely headed to Tennessee State University, German will talk about the process as National Signing Day is right around the corner.

USA VS THE WORLD

Preston, who has been instrumental in bringing the world a little bit closer when it comes to football, has organized the USA vs. the World in a high school game that features seniors from across the country and throughout the world.

From Japan to Canada to Australia, the World team is loaded with athletes who will compete against some of the best this country has to offer.

Miami Christopher Columbus head coach Chris Merritt has surrounded himself with several local players who have been turning heads all week in practice. Players such as receivers Shawn Corker (Cardinal Gibbons - Texas Tech), Quinton Dunbar (Booker T. Washington - Florida) and Josh Reese (Central - UCF), running back Jakhari Gore (Columbus - LSU), defensive backs Keion Payne (St. Thomas Aquinas - Miami), Richard Leonard (Killian - FIU), Tony Grimes (Hollywood Hills - Ole Miss), defensive ends Corey Lemonier (Hialeah), Lebranden Richardson (Central) and Clarence Murphy (Hollywood Hills - Maryland), and linebacker Tommy Heffernan (Columbus).

Also on the Team USA are kicker Ben Hopfinger (St. Thomas Aquinas), defensive lineman Calvin Smith (Hialeah), Thomas Ryan (Marathon - Vanderbilt) and Jordan Johnson (Carol City), Monsignor Pace tight end Kendall Montgomery, athlete Ethan Grant (North Broward Prep - TCU) and Miami Central offensive lineman Jose Jose (USF).

The game begins at 12 noon on Saturday at Lockhart Stadium and will be televised on the NFL Network. Admission is FREE.
