"It is truly such an honor!" Rios said. "I was sent a text message first and then received a call from a couple men with the All-American Bowl." He explained. When asked how long he had followed the game , Ben stated"I've been watching this game since I was a kid and something like this is an honor to play in. To be able to represent my city, UTSA and Central Catholic is special. I'm speechless but 110% looking forward to this opportunity."

The All American Bowl has been a great forecaster of NFL projection as well. Ben is well aware of the talent on the field he will be facing."I am ready to go against the best competition and just be able to improve on my skills." Rios was surprised and it checks off an accomplishment."It was not necessarily "my goal" (making the game) but for an opportunity like this is just incredible!" he finished.

Ben Rios was just recently re evaluated and graded out to receive his 3rd Star by Rivals Rankings system.
