NUC returns to San Diego!

The Wild Wild West has been a longtime producer of standout football players. Many of America's top prospects have come from this way, with a number of them calling California their home. This Saturday and Sunday at Eastlake HS, the National Underclassmen Combine will play host to the always competitive San Diego combine. Some of the area's best have attended in the past and with football's interest at an all time high, the best group to date is projected to take the field.

The star of last year's camp Jointa Te'i (El Camino HS) will join the Arizona State Sun Devils this fall. The Polynesian powerhouse put his full array of strength, size, athleticism and skill on display en route to winning the Overall and DL MVP. D'Angelo Barksdale , the 09' QB MVP, was scoped up by the University of San Diego, where he will play this fall. Barksdale played his high school ball at the very same field where the athletes this weekend will compete on.

"Between the weather, scenery and talent, the San Diego combine is one with few complains", said David Schuman, NUC CEO & President. "D1 talent is scattered throughout California for a reason. With the amount of players statewide and the level that these kids consistently play at, I see no reason to expect anything less than the best on Saturday and Sunday.

Current 8^th/9^th graders are slated to compete at 8 am and sophomores are scheduled to hit the field at 1 pm on Saturday, while juniors lay it all on the line 1 pm Sunday, April 25.

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.

Athletes can sign up for the San Diego combine on www.nationalunderclassmen.com or call 1-888-NUC-MVP1 for more details.
