Exceptional Juniors Garner Extra Awards in Birmingham!

At most combines, coaches give out one award per player per position. The winner is usually an elite player and one that reigns supreme above the competition. Enter the Birmingham junior combine, where the participants were so good that giving two MVP awards at the same position was hard. But with a little extra work from the coaches in evaluating these star athletes, the longer than usual elite performance list was put in place.

Springville HS' E.J. Woody was one of the few who could claim to be the sole beneficiary of an award, the Overall MVP.  Woody, 5'11.5 179, had a 30.5 inch vertical, 8'6 broad jump, ran a 4.22 shuttle and did it all during 1 on 1's. Between his nicely ran routes, excellent hands and understanding of the game, Woody must be considered an on the radar prospect.

Positions too good to give just one award out included :

QB: Austin Smitherman (Morgan Academy) and Trey Fethner (Woodlands). Both threw a good ball and were quite agile for QB's.

LB: Taylor Morton (Bibb County) and Darzil Washington (West St. John). The duo each had terrific strength, quick feet and a go hard or go home attitude.

RB: Steven Stewart (Hamilton) and Cedric Brooks (Midfield. Both rising seniors were good athletes (Brooks had a 30 inch vertical, 8'6 broad jump and 4.43 shuttle run, while Stewart ran a 4.50 shuttle  and jumped 9'2 in the broad) and ran hard during the individual period, making it far too difficult to pick just one of them to claim the RB MVP award.

DL: Jeremy Pyles (Oxford) and Emmanuel Cooper (Spain Park) each had good size and impressive athleticism for big men. During the one on ones' , both had tremendous success

OL: Taylor Warner (Jacksonville) and Cedric Kirkman (Tuscaloosa County). With good technique, an understanding of how to shut out d-linemen and big bodies, the two top tier rising seniors made a great impression.

These kids may have been too good for their own good!

·        Terrence "Prime Time" Allen came up big when it mattered most and earned the Overall MVP award. The Junction City HS standout is a powerful fullback who can block and carry the ball aggressively. At 5'8.5 187, Allen had an 8'7 broad jump, ran a 4.55 shuttle, 4.66 50, bench pressed 185 lbs 17 times and had all eyes on him during 1 on 1's.

·        WR MVP Jordan Cross (Covenant Christian) has good size (6'1 190) and outstanding athleticism. The rising prospect jumped 30.5 inches in the vertical leap, 9'0 in the broad, ran a 4.28 shuttle and was the total package during 1 on 1's. He has very good hands, runs great routes and juked the defensive backs numerous times.

·        Garrett Cantrell (Campus) doesn't have the size to remain a d-lineman, but has far too much skill to not play elsewhere. The 5'10.5 181 lb rising senior  won the DL MVP as his 9'2 broad jump, 4.30 shuttle run , 4.50 40 and exceptional quickness compensated for what he is missing in width. Expect to see Cantrell play linebacker at the next level.

·        Lorenzo Purnell, 5'5.5 152 (Washburn Rural) won the RB MVP following a solid showing of talent, heart and determination. He had an 8'5 broad jump, ran a 4.55 shuttle, 4.63 40 and displayed terrific moves during the individual period.
