University of Missouri football fans can get a sneak peak at some of the recruits they’ve been hearing and reading about for the last few months with three high school all-star games this weekend.

Gateway Tech tight end Sheldon Richardson and St. Louis University High running back Ronnie Wingo are scheduled to participate in Saturday’s U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which will broadcast nationally on NBC beginning at noon.

Richardson has committed to Missouri, while Wingo is considering Missouri, Illinois and others.

The early reports indicate Richardson will play defensive tackle in the game, while Wingo will play tight end. Richardson and Wingo will be teammates on the West squad.

The Post-Dispatch will talk to both players on Thursday afternoon and have a story in Saturday’s paper.

East St. Louis wide receiver Kraig Appleton, a University of Illinois commitment, was also selected to play in that game but will not be participating on Saturday in San Antonio, a spokesman for the all-star game said Wednesday.

Appleton was one of four East St. Louis players selected to participate in all-star games.

Defensive lineman Ty Phillips and defensive back Tommie Hopkins will play in the third annual Offense-Defense All-American Bowl in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Friday. Wide receiver Terry Hawthorne will play in the Under Armour All-American Bowl in Orlando on Sunday night.

Phillips recently committed to the University of Missouri. Hopkins and Hawthorne have both made commitments to Illinois, but Hawthorne has been looking at other schools. He recently took an official visit to Missouri and told InsideMizzou.com that he will make his college decision on signing day.
