The National Underclassmen Combine: Where Sin City’s Future Greats Are Discovered
By Matt Yanofsky
Sin City and the Entertainment Capital of the World are two of Las Vegas’ monikers. Nightclubs, comedy shows, casinos and various other entertainment ventures in this city keep even the ultimate nightlife fanatics occupied throughout all hours of the night. Although it’s self proclaimed motto of “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” is permanently attached to the most famous part of Nevada, this renowned city has showcased football players far to good to simply sweep under the rug.
During the last three years, The National Underclassmen Combine has discovered a number of those buzzworthy athletes. In 2009, the NUC’s stars included D-1 bound David Dash (Iowa State), Geoffrey Gibson (California), and Alex Turner (Stanford), while sensational underclassmen DeSean Martin, Rakeem Griffin and Brandon Wright made major noise as well.
“Las Vegas’ advertisements should really read nightclubs, great comedy shows and the home of many future football stars”, said Schuman, who was initially shocked at the Vegas’ talent pool. “The D-1 level talent here was very impressive and I’ll bet the house that this year will produce even more top tier athletes”
The 2010 camp takes place right off the strip at Henderson International School February 13. 8th, 9th and 10th graders compete at 8 am, while juniors grind it out at 1 pm. All athletes participate in pro-style combine testing, including the 40-yard dash, broad jump, bench press, vertical leap, and shuttle run along with position specific drills, 1 on 1’s and 3 on 3 competitions.
