The NUC returns to the talented Tampa region this weekend, with all eyes set to be on the area's rising prospects. In 2009, the Tampa camp produced multiple stars, thus there is no reason to predict a 2010 drop-off.
Iowa State bout Jeremiah George (Clearwater HS) won the Overall MVP and Leadership award at the junior camp last year, displaying a terrific attitude, sensational athleticism and good ability as a linebacker. The 5'10 191 lb George was a three star recruit on Rivals.com, and rated amongst the top LB's in the nation.
Miami bound Jonathan Feliciano (Western) is en route to becoming a Hurricane, but was a major whirlwind at the combine. The 6'4 283 lb monster dominated as an offensive linemen and set the bar high for the 10' combine class.
Star underclassmen from the talent-ridden 09' class included DL Gary Myrick (Nature Coast), safety Chris Callaway (Braden River), WR Austin Aikens (Tampa Catholic) and ultra talented 8th grader Leon McQuay (Jennings).
As a consistent leader in football talent, NUC CEO & President David Schuman is excited to fly out to Tampa this weekend.
"Between Tampa, Orlando and Miami, prospects the state of Florida can collectively create a national championship contender", stated Schuman. "The Tampa combine has consistently been one of the best we have to offer and we are yet to see a drop off in talent, even though the bar continues to get higher annually."
Current 8th and 9th graders are slated to compete at 8 am on Saturday, Sophomores 1 pm Saturday, while juniors hit the field at Jefferson HS on Sunday March 21at 1 PM.
All athletes 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.
