Atlantic offensive lineman Maximilian Lynch will make his Team USA debut next week at International Bowl VIII in Arlington, Texas.
The 6-foot-7, 255-pound junior will be among 500 high school and junior high school athletes from throughout the United States who were invited to compete against teams from Canada and Japan.
Lynch will suit up for the Under-18 team, which will play a team from Ontario, Canada, Jan. 17 at 4 p.m at AT&T Stadium.
“I’m excited to play the game I love with America’s stars on my chest,” he said.
The International Bowl will feature a series of eight games beginning at 10 a.m. Jan. 16 and running through 7:30 p.m. Jan. 17. Age divisions include U14 through U18.
Games can be live-streamed on ESPN3.
Lynch was selected for the U18 team after participating in South Florida and regional camps.
The 48-man Team USA U18 roster includes five players from Florida. Lynch is the only participant from Palm Beach County.
