Atlanta's Tri-Cities HS showcased a plethora of talent last Sunday afternoon. The NUC has been a staple in the area for a number of years, as many of America's top prospects have graced a field in the ATL.
Stephenson HS' David Stevenson (yes that is really where he goes) won the Overall MVP after displaying an array of talents. The 5'8 158 lb DB had a 34.5 inch vertical, 9'3 broad jump, ran a blazing 4.04 shuttle, 4.47 40 and made the WR's a non factor during 1 on 1's.
Kent Rollins (South Gwinett) was on a roll from the moment he stepped on the field. This 5'11.5 164 lb QB had terrific footwork, a good arm and was extremely accurate, en route to winning the QB MVP. Rollins also has terrific athleticism for a QB, as his 30 inch vertical, 9'0 broad jump, and 4.45 shuttle run make him more than able to operate as a dual threat.
Andre Wilson (Heritage) shared the QB MVP with Rollins and talent wise, was equally as good. He also had good athletic abilities and had fundamentals of a player at the next level.
Jabari Hunt-Days (Hillgrove) and David Dupaty (Harrison) shared the LB MVP award. Both were terrific athletes and played with tremendous intensity. One on one's were also their specialty, as each caused fits for the RB's and have potential to be big time run stoppers.
The OL MVP/coolest name of 2010 award goes to Uniek Crumbley (Americus-Sumter). All kidding aside, Uniek's size is exactly that at 6'3 337. Crumbley bench pressed 185 lbs 26 times and held his ground quite well during 1 on 1's. Note to Americus-Sumter's QB, you definitely owe this monster of a lineman plenty of thanks for helping keep you safe during the season.
Zachary "Wickid" Witchett (Booker T. Washington) , Chris Davis Jr. (McEachern) and Douglas "I play for the pride" McBride (Ola) all created major noise. The trio shared the WR MVP but have plenty more in common than that. All three of these studs had good moves to shake off the DB's, terrific quickness, good hands and always managed to find the football. Big game receivers? You bet!
Rapper Jermain Dupri said it best "Welcome to Atlanta where the players play". Who knew a rap song could relate so perfectly to top notch football talent?
