Dutchtown SS tops at sophomore event
Dutchtown strong safety Landon Collins was named the Combine King and Overall MVP at Saturday's Sophomore National Underclassman Combine event at Zachary High School. The event drew nearly 200 kids from throughout Louisiana.
There is little doubt Collins will be one of the Class of 2012's top prospects. The 5-foot-11.5, 199 pounder posted the fastest 40-yard dash time at 4.48 seconds and also had the best vertical leap of 35.5 inches. Factor in an impressive broad jump of 10 feet, 6 inches and his 24 bench reps at 155 pounds.
Collins also performed extremely well in defensive back drills and one-on-one drills. He is fast, but alo very physical with great ball skills as well. He can legitimately play every position in the secondary and is physical enough to project at a linebacker spot.
"I just work hard to keep up with the fastest guys on my team," Collins said, smiling.
The future continues to look bright to Lutcher. The Bulldogs had four players share MVP honors. Teammates Kyron Jackson and Ian Podufalski were Defensive Backs Co-MVPs. Podufalski ran the event's fastest shuttle time of 4.19 seconds and Jackson was impressive in drills.
Standout Bulldogs running back Daniel Taylor, who already has several major unofficial scholarship offers, was the Running Backs Co-MVP with Peabody's Jalen Richard. Lutcher wide receiver Dorian Simien was a Wide Receivers Co-MVP along with Donaldsonville's Devon Breaux.
The Linebackers MVP was Sulphur standout Holden Rogers, whose sophomore video was recently featured on PelicanPreps.com.
The Quarterbacks MVP was Teurlings Catholic's D'Shaie Landor, who was fantastic in agility drills and then put on the most impressive passing display in drills and one-on-ones.
The Offensive Line MVP was Beau Chene's Jordy Wyble, who consistently dominated against an impressive collection of defensive linemen. The Defensive Lineman MVP was Justin Woods, who was literally unblockable.
The Strongest Man went to Dutchtown's Aaron Davis, who benched 185 pounds 28 times.
