WR #24
Osborne may be headed to the promise land after winning the Overall MVP. At 5'8.5 143, Osborne had an 8'5 broad jump, ran a  4.40 shuttle, 4.61 shuttle, displayed good speed and terrific hands during 1 on 1's. Osborne also runs Larry Fitzgerald type routes. Impressive to say the least.
Perry Orth

RB #15
Wiggins, 5'9.5 179, won the RB MVP. Wiggins wiggled his way out of trouble in the drill session, impressively cutting across the field. He also had a terrific 8'11 broad jump and is a top notch playmaker.
Brandon Brooks

10th
WR #21
Brooks, 6'0 177, took home the WR MVP. Brooks had an 8'7 broad jump, ran a 4.55 shuttle, had fine body control, impressive playmaking ability, good size and was quite athletic.
Luke Viering
The Bolles School, FL
10th
TE #19

Desmond Huff

Huff, 6'1 195, brought home the DL MVP. The athletically gifted Huff had a 30.5 inch vertical, 9'2 broad jump, ran a 4.53 shuttle and used tremendous speed during 1 on 1's to wreck havoc on the OL's. Huff needs to gain weight, but his athleticism is virtually unmatched at his position.

10th
LB #87
Eady won the LB MVP. At 5'8 193, Eady had an 8'3 broad jump, ran a 4.56 shuttle, bench pressed 155 lbs 19 times, covered the ball very well, had top notch closing speed and good footwork. Eady has terrific tools for a linebacker.
Andre Johnson
Trinity Catholic
10th
CB #30
Much like when Matt Schaub tosses the ball to his top receive  its touchdown Andre Johnson; albeit six points the other way in this case. Trinity Catholic's Johnson, 5'9.5 181, won the DB MVP after impressing coaches with his 8'6 broad jump, 4.5 shuttle run and terrific shut down ability. It's wise to keep the ball away from Johnson.
Juwaun Fannin
University Christian HS, FL
10th
DL #87
A gargantuan 6'1 344 lbs, Fannin won the OL MVP and Strongest Man awards. Fannin bench pressed 185 lbs 21 times and used his impressive strength to hold down the DL's during 1 on 1's. He is a very tough nosed  player.
Marquis Holmes
Trinity Catholic HS, FL
10th
LB #58
When Marquis Holmes put up the performance he did, it wasn't sure luck whatsoever. Holmes, 5'11 203, won the Leadership award after putting up an admiral effort on the field, hustling from station to station and working as if there were no tomorrow. Holmes  also had an 8'2 broad jump, bench pressed 155 lbs 28 times and ran a 4.55 shuttle.
Tony Clark
Coffee HS, GA
10th
RB #26
Much like the power hitting first baseman bearing his name, Tony Clark is a grand slam! The 5'11.5 189 lb Clark took home the coveted Combine King as well as the Fastest Man award after his 35.5 inch vertical, 9'0 broad Jump, 4.46 shuttle run and 4.50 40 put him atop the charts. Clark also did well during the individual period, playing passionately and running hard throughout. 

NUC Jacksonville- Sophomores show Solid Potential in Jacksonville-National Underclassmen Combine


Sophomores show Solid Potential in Jacksonville!

Justin Osborne (First Coast HS) topped a strong sophomore combine last Saturday at Raines HS. Osborne, a quick slot receiver, won the Overall MVP after jumping an 8'5 on the broad , running a 4.40 40 and wowing our coaches during 1 on 1's. Osborne, 5'8.5 143, more than compensates for his lack of size in pure talent, as he has Cris Carter type hands and runs routes near perfectly. Osborne is an exciting young player that can help any team.

Tony "King of the South" Clark (Coffee HS) was the best all around athlete at the camp. Clark, 5'11.5 189 had a 35.5 inch vertical, 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.46 shuttle, 4.50 40 and motored around the field during 1 on 1's. Clark, who also won the Fastest Man, is a pure athlete with a lot to offer.

Marquis Holmes (Trinity Catholic) was a lock down linebacker with a mean streak to boot. Holmes, 5'11 203, won the Leadership award by showing there was zero quit in him, which inspired the rest of the players at the combine. 

From the long ball to a short screen pass, Perry Orth (Episcopal) was the top dawg at the QB. The 6'1 186 lb Orth had good poise, quick feet (running a 4.58 shuttle) and consistently made good choices with the football.
Jacksonville remains a terrifically talented Southern Region

nuc albuquerque-Awesome All Around Intensity In Albuquerque-national underclassmen


Awesome All Around Intensity In Albuquerque!
         The NUC hit Blades Multiplex Arena in Rio Rancho, NM this weekend,          marking the first time they visited the Land of Enchantment. The inaugural                  combine was small in size, but packed the punch of a heavyweight.
         Cameron Padilla (La Cueva) took home the 10th grade MVP with his great          mobility powering him during the 1 on 1's. Padilla, who ran a 4.51 in the          shuttle, made a number of great cuts and has terrific hands for a RB.
         Dustin Walton (Raton) led the juniors and is the kind of QB that makes me          wonder what else New Mexico has to offer. He had terrific size at 6'3.5 215,          throws a terrific ball, has a strong arm and has a winning attitude. From a          QB standpoint, Walton provided all that a coach could look for from the          talent to the confidence level.

  Anthony "Mr. Biggs" Kennedy (Volcano Vista) exploded onto the scene,   taking home the OL MVP. He was a total monster at 6'5 266, bench pressing   185 lbs 17 times and locking up the d-linemen during the individual period.   Kennedy has very good size and a nice push, making him a highly touted prospect  much like Matt Hegarty.

  Josh Bowen (Manzano) was the best athlete of the day and took home the     Combine King along with the WR MVP. The 5'8.5 149 lb star had a 31.5 inch   vertical, 8'1 broad jump, ran a 4.27 shuttle, 4.63 40 and had terrific hands.   Bowen's athleticism and skill at a wideout makes him a major threat to any   defense.

  After the all of the hard work, determination, hustle and muscle displayed at the   combine, this year likely won't be the last for Albuquerque.

NUC Jacksonville-Ja'Vakiel Bigham Tops Jacksonville Freshman Session


Ja'Vakiel Bigham Tops Jacksonville Freshman Session

Brigham MS's Ja'Vakiel Brown is 14 years old and a six months away from high school, but his incredible talents make him a guaranteed big man on campus. Brown, 5'9.5 169, proved that impossible is nothing (thank you Nike) by having a 10 foot broad jump and running a 4.41 shuttle. For the record, many of the junior Combine Kings fall short in both categories. Brown's athleticism for an 8th grader is off the charts and is guaranteed to get national attention once he steps up to the high school level.

Ulysses "The General" Bryant (Lee HS) was the man at RB. The 5'5.5 157 lb Bryant had terrific speed, a great push, good body control and bench pressed 135 lbs 21 times. Bryant is like a pit bull in the sense that he will fight until he is completely down and out.

JJ "Show Me The Money" Green (Camden County) created plenty of difficulties for the offense during the individual period en route to grabbing the DB MVP much like he did the QB's passes. The 5'7.5 157 Green could jump with the best of em (8'10 broad jump) had good quickness (4.51 shuttle) and bench pressed 135 lbs 22 times. Green had great recovery skills, a physical style and solid all around ability. This is what you call a prime time player.

Even though Jacksonville's freshman session didn't have Maurice Jones-Drew participating there sure as heck were plenty of Jaguars tearing up the field.

Prospect Profile: Travis Williams



Travis Williams, Cooper City HS, FL, Class of 2010: A standout at the tremendously talented Miami combine, Williams has good tools as a db and is a good athlete. The 5'10 170 lb Williams runs a 4.26 shuttle, has a 32.5 inch vertical, 9'1 broad jump and does a great job of smothering receivers.               Ironically, Williams is leaving Miami to play college football for Miami; of Ohio that is.
Future Outlook: Williams is a little bit too slim for our liking, but the talent is there. He has a very good understanding of how to cover a receiver and his athleticism will help him against bigger the bigger players he will regularly line up against at the next level. A good weight lifting program should help put 15 pounds on him in time to take the field as a sophomore.

Freshmen display First Class Potential at Tri-Cities HS!



Last Saturday morning at Tri-Cities HS an abundance of talented freshman took the field with something to prove. Many players attend their first combine as a freshman, thus slip ups or anxiety is expected, but this was far from the case in one of America's most sacred regions for football talent.

Shaquille Wiggins (Westlake HS) was a man on a mission; or should we say on a "Shaq Attack". Wiggins took home the Overall MVP award after completely shutting down the WR's during the individual position period to the point where literally all eyes were on him. At 5'7.5 136, Wiggins has good quickness (running a 4.34 shuttle) and plays physically for a player his weight.

Mike Payne (Dougherty) and Spencer McManes (Blessed Trinity) shared the QB MVP award. With quick releases, good arm strength and superior patience, these two rising stars had terrific completion percentages.

Playing at home is an advantage and a confidence for any athlete; just ask Tri-Cities' Dominique Threatt, who won the OL MVP. The 6'1 288 lb monster made things uncomfortable for opposing linemen and the 1 on 1's were barely competitive when Threatt stepped up to the line.

With an rockets in his seemingly cleats and blessed genetics Otis Washington (Luevlla MS) won the Combine King and Fastest Man award. The 5'7.5 145 lb Washington had a 32.5 inch vertical, 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.54 shuttle and 4.64 40. Impressive to say the least for a player who is yet to enter high shcool.

Tauren Ferguson (Jonesboro) may be a small for a wide out but after winning the WR MVP, he clearly demonstrated his ability more than compensates for his lack of height. Ferguson, 5'6.5 154, had an 8'4 broad jump, ran a 4.30 shuttle and was a man amongst boys during 1 on 1's. Ferguson had great hands, ran pro-style routes and consistently created separation between himself and the d-backs.

The game of football, like any sport, consistently has surprises. After yet another terrific combine session, hearing about a talented player from the Atlanta region is about as shocking as Brett Favre attempting another comeback.
