Quick Hits from Fresno!

Juniors: 

·        Garrett "Iron Man" Steele (Kingsburg HS) capped off a terrific combine at Dinuba HS, taking home the Overall MVP and Fastest Man honors. The 5'11.5 187 lb standout had an 8'9 broad jump, ran a 4.28 shuttle, 4.52 40 and was a monster during the individual position period. Steele runs hard, is light on his feet, has outstanding technique and can change directions on the dime.

·        QB MVP Will Szpor (Reedley) was the most successful player at his position during the 1 on 1's. He is a smooth passer with quick feet, an outstanding football IQ and a nice release point. Szpor's well rounded skills made him one to look out for

·        Aluaro Rodriguez (OCHS) plays with passion and is simply a man on a mission. The 5'8 193 lb linebacker was physical during 1 on 1's, runs hard and has outstanding on field awareness. Rodriguez also did well during the testing, jumping 8'6 on the broad while bench pressing 185 lbs 18 times en route to winning the LB MVP. He is a bit short, but his talent and determination. can't be questioned

Class of 2012!

·       Clovis West's Sean Morris could really do it all. The 5'8 178 lb half back was a terrific tester, with a 30.5 inch vertical, 8'5 broad jump, 4.34 shuttle, 4.54 40 and 32 reps at 155 lbs on the bench press earning the coveted Combine King award. During the 1 on 1's, he was THE one people were looking out for. He is very strong, explosive, has soft hands and works hard. If he continues to get bigger and stronger, Morris will be scary good.

·        At 5'5.5 155, Demetrius Warren of Bullard HS is easy to miss. After seeing him play, he will be hard to forget. Warren is a tremendous athlete, with a 33.5 inch vertical, 9'0 broad jump and 4.25 shuttle to boot. During the 1 on 1's, he was quick on his feet, changed directions well and displayed soft hands. Impressive!

·        Tyler "The Beast" Bates (Madera) is a stud linebacker. The 6'1 193 lb linebacker runs a 4.31 shuttle, plays physically, has quick feet, good hip movement and once he closes in on the offense, it's bad news for those in his way. Bates has all the makings of a tackle machine and his ability to track down the ball is second to none.

Fantastic Freshman!

·       6'1 267 lb o-lineman Logan Stott is already a force to be reckoned with at age 15. He has a tremendous stance,  great first step, is strong like an ox and is a world class blocker. He also bench pressed 155 lbs 27 times. Stott is destined to become a star.

·        Michael Wright (Green Acres) is still in 8th grade, but already creates a buzz. The 5'7.5 149 lb linebacker has great on field awareness, quick feet and is intense. He also runs a 4.60 shuttle, which is terrific. Keep an eye on this kid for sure!
