A look back at the 2009 MaxPreps All-America Team shows a number of hits and very few misses among the 60 players chosen on the first and second teams.
A total of eight juniors were selected to the 2009 team and ironically only three repeated on the 2010 team - Jadeveon Clowney, James Wilder Jr., and Jason Meehan.
Two other players did not play major college football, including one who died in the spring. The remaining 50 saw a variety of success ranging from limited playing time and redshirt seasons to freshman All-American team recognition.
Here's a look at where each of the 60 2009 MaxPreps All-Americans are, one year later.
