The National Underclassmen Combine returns to the Jacksonville/Wilmington this weekend at Eugene Ashley HS with hopes of finding a big time recruit from this small region.
two star recruit DeAnthony Williams (Northside HS) was the star at the 09' combine, battling throughout the event for pride, glory and a shot to make a difference at the next level. The 6'0 277 lb d-tackle is a terrific student athlete with great physical strength and has generated interest from Maryland.
Brian Laws Jr. (White Oak) was amongst the top athletes of the season and took home the Combine King/WR MVP awards just one year ago. The athletically gifted 6'0 153 lb Laws had a 32 inch vertical, 9'9 broad jump and did a terrific job during 1 on 1 drills.
Donjore Gainey (Northside) led the underclassmen by storm just one year ago, taking home the RB MVP. At 5'9.5 164, Gainey had a 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.73 shuttle, bench pressed 135 lbs 22 times and displayed tremendous potential during 1 on 1's.
"The Jacksonville, North Carolina region is flying under the radar in the scheme of things, but that doesn't indicate a lack of talent", said NUC CEO &President David Schuman. "Any knowledgeable scout will tell you that the next great prospect could come from Alaska or Zimbabwe, so athletes competing in the smaller regions must receive equal attention."
Current 8th-10th graders are slated to compete at 8 am on Saturday, while juniors are slated to put their talents on display the very same day at 1 PM.
All players will partake 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.
