Rising prospects look to come up big in Cleveland!



Cleveland's Bedford HS will host a highly anticipated combine this Saturday and Sunday where a talented group of athletes will give it their all with hopes of  impressing decision makers at the next level. Cleveland's past combines have produced success stories, with multiple D1 bound players attending in the past, but the class of 10' is expected to be the best yet.
"Cleveland's registration rate has gone up each year", said NUC CEO & President David Schuman. "More athletes equals more top level talent, so I am excited to see what this weekend holds."
Topping Cleveland's 09 class were Akron bound linebacker Nico Caponi and running back Tyson Gulley, who is headed to Syracuse this fall. Both were elite performers and signed their LOI's after competing at the combine. Twinsburg's Devon Sanders is also expected to end up at a notable program shortly, with five schools currently interested in the 5'10 180 lb outside linebacker.
"We the underclassmen last year were terrific as well", stated Schuman. "Most of the kids are going to come back bigger, stronger, faster, smarter and more mature, so this should be a weekend to remember."
Current 8th/9th graders are slated to compete at 8 am and sophomores are scheduled to hit the field at 1 pm on Saturday, while juniors go for glory this Sunday at 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. In addition to the elite athletes receiving coverage on Rivals and Espn.com, statistics of every participant will be sent out to colleges at all three levels.
Athletes can sign up for the Cleveland combine on www.nationalunderclassmen.com or call 1-888-NUC-MVP1 for more details.
