Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune Brighton High School leads Herriman High School 9-7 at the half during the 2015 season opener at Brighton High School, Friday, August 21, 2015.

Receiver Simi Fehoko will be presented his honorary 2016 U.S. Army All-American jersey at Brighton High on Tuesday, Nov. 24 at 9:15 a.m.

Fehoko, who established the new all-time career UHSAA receiving mark this season, will participate in the All-American Bowl on Saturday, Jan. 9 at 1 p.m. at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, after finishing his senior year with 59 receptions for 1,495 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Fehoko was also nominated as one of 16 finalists for the Army Player of the Year award to be determined during the bowl game and is the third Brighton player to be honored as an Army All-American, joining Ricky Heimuli and Osa Masina.

Wasatch kicker Skyler Southam, who already received his jersey, will participate in this year's All-American bowl, too.
