It’s in the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s All-American Bowl, and Cody Simon’s mother, Amy, paces a few feet in front of her son, currently being swarmed by a small group of supporters angling to get their postgame picture taken with the New Jersey star.
Amy grabs her cell phone to snap some quick photos, capturing the final moments of this week-long event in San Antonio, one in which her son has exploded amongst the nation’s best senior high school talent, gaining recognition from regional and national recruiting analysts as one of the top-performing linebackers for the East All-Stars.
