True or false? An-72 candidate for JCA?

This was in the Wikipedia’s entry on the An-72:

Boeing may introduce the An-72 as a new option for the United States Army’s pending Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) competition. Were Boeing to offer it, the An-72 would be the only turbofan-powered aircraft in the competition.

We all know what a reliable source of information Wikipedia is in a lot of things, hell, I’d shoot any student of mine who quoted it, but is there any truth to this?
