Boston's Best!

·        St. Sebastian's Brian Starchan showed superstar potential during the NUC's Junior Session at Tabor Academy by taking home the Overall MVP Combine King and Fastest Man awards. The 6'0.5 194 lb QB Has a 30.5 inch vertical, 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.45 shuttle, 4.47 40 and did it all during the 1 on 1's. He has a great arm, good mechanics and is clearly a dual threat. Starchan, who has interest from multiple D1 programs, only enhanced his market with this performance

·        Davidson Barthelemy (Brockton) is a stud defensive back and won the DB MVP. The 5'9.5 164 lb standout has a 30 inch vertical, 8'10 broad jump, runs a 4.40 shuttle and 4.55 40. He is tremendously quick and was able to lock down the WR's during the individual period.

·        Jason Sylva (Tabor Academy) took the combine by storm and was subsequently awarded the LB MVP. The 6'2 221 lb standout had a 9'5 broad jump, ran a 4.27 shuttle, bench pressed 185 lbs 28 times and was all over the field during 1 on 1's. Sylva's size and athleticism should take him a long way.

·        Capping the sophomore session was Overall/QB MVP AJ Doyle. The 6'2.5 226 lb Boyle had an 8'1 broad jump, bench pressed 155 lbs 25 times, had an excellent arm, nice mechanics and played in control. There is definitely a lot to like here.

·        Dayvon Williams (Commerce) was also a standout QB. Like Doyle, he had good mechanics, an 8'4 broad jump, ran a 4.15 shuttle and worked hard. The 6'3.5 186 lber is definitely a dual threat.

·        From his name alone, Pinkerton Academy's Emmitt Smith garners your attention. Perhaps what is more impressive is that, much like the all time great he shares a name with, Smith plays running back. The 5'7 144 lber was more than just a cool name, as his 4.35 shuttle and 4.50 40 earned him the Fastest Man award. He also had a 31 inch vertical and 8'4 broad jump. I would say keep his name in mind but those who know football permanently have Emmitt Smith embedded in their minds.

·        Freshman Sha-Ki Holines (Commerce) and Jarrid Grimett (Kennedy MS) were the two top performers during the first session.  Haines, a 6'1 236 lb lineman, and Grimett, a 5'9.5 183 lb running back, were both terrific athletes and stole the show with their performance during 1 on 1's.

·        Looks like these athletes don't need Boston's famed luck of the Irish to succeed!
