Cherry Creek’s Jackson Roper Set for Navy All-American Bowl Jersey Presentation in September
Cherry Creek High School offensive lineman Jackson Roper will be formally recognized as a 2027 Navy All-American when the Road to the Dome tour makes a stop at his Englewood, Colorado, school on September 10, 2026. The jersey presentation is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. MT, held at the Bruins’ home football game before kickoff in front of classmates, teammates, and family.
Roper is one of 100 high school players nationwide slated to receive honors during the touring series, which combines live and virtual ceremonies. Recaps of the presentations are being rolled out weekly on NBC Sports’ social channels as the tour progresses across the country.
The recognition culminates in the East vs. West showcase at the Alamodome in San Antonio, set for 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 9, 2027. That broadcast will mark the twenty-seventh edition of the game, airing live on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
