NUC Miami-Juniors Highly Impressive in Miami!

A plethora of talented juniors were showcased last weekend at Cooper City HS for the Miami Area combine. Topping off the talent deep session and (the entire weekend for that matter) was American Heritage HS'
Andrew Flores. The 5'11 164 Flores had a 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.27 shuttle and
was easily the best player during the 1 on 1's. His ability to get his hands on
the ball and get open were simply tremendous.

Imaaculata Lasalle's Courtney Moshood was another standout who could virtually do it all from the wideout spot, thus earned the WR MVP. The 5'9 155 lb Moshood ran a 4.10 shuttle, 4.45 40, had a 32.5 inch
vertical, 9'2 broad jump and was throughly dominant during 1 on 1's. Although
he is undersized, Moshood has all that a coach could ask for from an athletic
standpoint.

Flores' teammate Nestor Lantigua, 5'10 164, starred all around for the second consecutive year. Laintigua won the coveted Combine King and RB MVP awards. Laintuga tore up the testing portion of the combine,
with a 32.5 inch vertical, 9'9 broad jump, 4.17 shuttle run and 4.45 40. his
quickness and athleticism enabled him to perform at a high level.

Darryl "Lockdown" Brown of Miami American HS was a terrific DB, taking home the MVP at the position along with Monsignor Pace's Anthony Samuel. Brown, 5'9 150, and Samuel, 5'11.5 171, were both fast
and athletic defensive backs who stuck to the WR's like white on rice.

While some of the WR's were tremendous, it takes a QB like La Salle's Rafi Montalvo. The 5'11 186 lb Montalvo has terrific feet and accuracy, zipping the ball downfield as if it were easy.

Miami once again proved to be a hotbed for football talent. I can only imagine what the NUC will see next year.
