With the College Football Playoff almost all wrapped up, the high school all-star game season came to a close on Saturday with the 2025 U.S. Navy All-American Bowl.

Two rosters comprising some of the best high school talent in the country squared off in the Navy All-American Bowl in San Antonio in the Alamodome on Saturday with the West coming out on top 13-7 over the East.

Keisean Henderson, a 2026 quarterback committed to Houston, was named the Navy All-American Bowl Most Valuable Player after leading West to the victory. The 6-foot-3 quarterback is a four-star recruit and the No. 2 player in the state of Texas, according to 247Sports' Composite rankings.

Though East scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter itself, Henderson's highlight reel touchdown in the second quarter — a 91-yard touchdown down the field to wide receiver Jalen Cooper (SMU commit) — ended up being the deciding play in Saturday's high school all-star game.

Speaking of that East touchdown, quarterback Ty Hawkins (SMU commit) hit wide receiver Jamie Ffrench Jr. (Texas commit) along the right sideline on a fourth-and-3 for a 40-yard touchdown.

While the players showed out on the field, several also made their college decisions off of it, with eight commitments being announced over the course of the game.

With that, check out the updates and highlights of the U.S. Navy All-American Bowl, including the announcements from the eight players that committed during the all-star game:
