Tabor Academy will play host to an action packed combine this weekend, with a plethora of gifted 8-11th graders expected to partake. Just one year ago at the very same location, Florida bound Tyler Murphy tore up the field from the moment he stepped on it. The immensely talented 6'2 190 lb QB has a 35 inch vertical, runs a 4.38 shuttle, throws a tremendous ball and understands the game. He is your prototypical dual threat.
Marlborough's Anthony Carter took the combine by storm, bringing home the Junior Overall MVP. The 5'9 172 lb safety was a man amongst boys during 1 on 1's, had a 31 inch vertical, ran an impressive 4.09 shuttle and 4.53 40. He is headed cross country this fall, where he will lace up for the University of San Diego.
"Boston is a great sports city and those who don't take their football talent seriously are foolish" said NUC CEO & President David Schuman, who also saw DeVaghn Millington star in 09'. "The athletes that come to play at this combine over the last few years have consistently been impressive."
Other standouts that appear to be headed to a D1 school in the near future are Tabor Academy's very own Jason Sylva, Worcester Academy's Joe Pieterse and Hudson HS' Karl Sery.
"East Coast football is as strong as ever", added Schuman. "As you can see, it is no longer just Rutgers and Boston College recruiting the local athletes."
Current 8th/9th graders are slated to compete at 8 am and sophomore are scheduled to hit the field at 1 pm on Saturday, while juniors take center stage 1 pm Sunday.
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.
