East quarterback Tajh Boyd at the post-game press conference: "This game has so much tradition surrounding it. I grew up watching my favorite players in it and wanting to be here one day. Here I am and it has been an amazing experience. The level of competition, the soldiers and the activities all week, there is nothing like it. It's the best All-American game, bar none...The offense was pretty much a wide open offense. I really liked it. It took some time this week to learn it but I'm a quick learner. I think I can fit into any offense, depending on who is coaching it."

East running back Bryce Brown at the post-game press conference: (Asked if he felt he was the best player in the nation in this class) "Yes, yes I do. I have a lot of people around me that help me reach this success...You put God first in your life and let him lead the way. Get yourself straight first before worrying about others...And the harder you work, the more you get paid."

East offensive lineman Xavier Nixon at the post-game press conference: "The atmosphere here around this game and this week has been amazing. Meeting all these good people and making these relationships have been great. And the level of competition is much higher than anything in high school...(On selecting Florida) "The atmosphere, the school, the game, everything is great at Florida and I felt like that is where I belong. And the offensive line coach was an important part of my decision because he'll be one of the most important people in my life for the next four years...It's a relief to finally announce my decision and I am happy that I'm going to Florida...I've had the guys here trying to influence me otherwise, but I knew I wanted to be at Florida. (To which BRYCE BROWN, who is going to Miami, replied in fun: "And he is going to pay for that.")

West receiver Rueben Randle at the post-game press conference: "The week has been great. Everything was fun and the competition was great. And building relationships with these guys has been really cool, and I hope we'll keep them going...Everyone is trying to influence me and talk to me about where to go...but I'm just going to stay focused and take my time. I don't feel any pressure."
