Anthony McFarland Jr. figures to be a spectator at the Under Armour All-America Game, but that hasn’t diminished the honor of being selected.
The shifty running back from DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) suffered a broken leg in a scrimmage before the season opener and has not played this season.

McFarland is ranked as the No. 8 running back in the nation, No. 2 player in Maryland and No. 70 player overall by ESPN.
He has a listed Top 5 of Alabama, Florida, Maryland, Miami and Tennessee, but also has taken an official visit to Penn State.
