USA Men's Collegiate All-American Coach Gavin Hickie has announced the squad that will tour Queensland July 31 to August 15.

This group is separate and distinct from the overall All American list USA Rugby released last week. That first list was designed to recognize the best college rugby players in the USA. The below list of 29 players is for USA-eligible (or expected to be) players who are in a development pathway for the USA national team.

The team is sponsored by AIG and the tour is sponsored by WellDog. The players will assemble in Los Angeles at the end of July and then fly to Queensland where they will play Darling Downs Select Side, Brothers Rugby Football Club, and Queensland Premier Barbarians.

The Rudy Scholz Award Winner as the best college rugby player in the country, Dylan Audsley, heads up a list that also includes capped Eagles Aladdin Schirmer and Deion Mikesell. In This team is also open to US college players attending school overseas, and so Trinity's Conor Kearns is selected.

The list is heavily influenced by players who represented the USA at age-grade level, including Audsley, Malon Al-Jiboori, Tanner Barnes, Niall Barry, Zach Bonte, Nick Boyer, Bryce Campbell, Vili Helu, Schirmer, Alex Maughan, Kearns, Mason Pedersen, Chance Wenglewski, and Calvin Whiting.
