NUC Top Prospect-Arik Armstead, Class of 2012, STUD OL/DL

NUC Alum-Todd Washington Lutcher HS, LA Class of 2010-Signed w. Memphis

Todd Washington Lutcher HS, LA Class of 2010: Lutcher, a terrific athlete, was a top performer at the Baton Rouge combine last year. With a 9’4 broad jump and 4.32 shuttle run in his arsenal, Washington has quick feet and good leaping ability. He is definitely a problem for QB’s and WR’s. He is headed to Memphis in the fall, choosing the Tigers over Tulane, Tulsa and Arkansas State among others.

Future Outlook: At 5’11 177, Washington needs to put on weight before contributing at the next level. The athleticism and coverage skill are there, so Washington should become a key player in 2011.

NUC Alum-Anthony Creecy, Southern Durham HS, NC Class of 2010-headin to NC State

Anthony Creecy, Southern Durham HS, NC Class of 2010: An athletic receiver with sensational hands, Creecy starred at the 08’ Durham combine. At the combine, Creecy had a 9’9 broad jump, ran a 4.53 40, 4.4 shuttle and ran terrific routes during the 1 on 1 period, earning him an invite to the Ultimate 100 Camp. He committed to North Carolina State in June, turning down offers from Clemson, Florida State, Stanford, South Carolina and UNC among others.

Future Outlook: Creecy’s tremendous hands give him a shot to be a difference maker. Freshman do however require time and seasoning to get adjusted to the college game. If he has a solid understand of NC State’s offensive scheme and works hard, he can turn into a terrific receiver down the road.

Quick Writeup:

Tyler has a great delivery, with tremendous touch and awareness, combine with great athleticism, Tyler may be 6-1.5 and on the border of big time D-1a size, but has Big Time D-1a ability

 U100 Top QB-East

NUC Boston-QB MVP

Stats: 4.64 40, 35 inch vert, 9-6 broad says enough said from an athleticism standpoint

Further Analysis:

So, time in and time out when Tyler's Team needs him, he makes the play. In one on one's he made throw after throw right on the money. He has a quick release great drop and a great ability to get outside the pocket and make plays. His athleticism is off the charts is and is reminiscent of shorter version of Vince Young.

T0P PROSPECT ANALYSIS: Colt Lyerla, Athlete, CLASS OF 2011

Colt Lyerla, Class 2011: Athlete, 6-4.5, 219, Hillsborough HS, OR

Quick Writeup:
An Amazing Athlete with ridiculous athleticism and tenacity. I have seen him play DB, LB, WR, TE, RB all in the same camp and dominate. Period end of the story, probably one of the top 10 recruits in the USA for the Class of 2011, if not the top!
NUC Overall MVP-Oregon

U100 Top Athlete-Top Prospect Camp

Stats: 4.63 40, 4.23 shuttle, 38.5 inch vert, 10-10 broad

Further Analysis:

Colt is an amazing athlete and intense football player. He is one of the best combine testers that I have ever seen. Even better, he is also one of the best football players i have seen. At the the Top Prospect camp he ran stride for stride with RB's when he was playing LB, watched him jack up RB's trying to run routes...he then moved out and covered wide receivers...then went and played some wide receiver....if that wasnt enough he got to do some one on ones at DL. In the 7 on 7 tournament he was dominant and his tremendous on the field antics have continued with a game winning catch this year against Glen Coe and accumulated almost 300 yards of offense on several occasion. He reminds you 100% of Brian Urlacher and can do all the things he did and dare i say...maybe more! He has great feet, tremendous explosion off the ball and spectacular body control.

TOP PROSPECT ANALYSIS: Cameron Nwosu ,LB, Class of 2010

Cameron Nwosu, Class 2010: LB/S, 5-8.5, 225, Klein Forest, TX

Quick Writeup:
Cameron is one of the most fierce LB's in texas and has freakish instincts for getting to the ball and making plays happen. He is a straight football player who is completely dominant all the time.
NUC LB MVP-Houston
U100 Top LB-Southwest
Stats: 4.67 40, 28.5 inch vertical, 8-8 broad, 28 reps on 185 benc

Further Analysis:
Cameron is undersized height wise for LB, but i do not need to point out that so was Dat Nguyen (Texas A & M)-Dallas Cowboys, Zach Thomas (Texas Tech)-Miami Dolphins, and Dexter Coakley (Appalachian State)-Dallas Cowboys, were also undersized (height) linebackers who did amazing things. Cameron is in the same mold of the NFL lbs, instinctive, quick, physical and just flat out makes plays. He has excellent speed and it is deceptive, I watched him take two pick 6's to the house in 7 on 7 at the U100 camp. He just finds the ball. On film, he is sideline to sideline and is always around the ball, causing fumbles, tipping passes and making plays. Committed to Rice, he is a student academically and brings all the leadership intangibles as well. One of my favorite combine players of the year and he brought his skills right to my attention at the Houston National Underclassmen Combine Event. He put player after player in the ground in one ones just in the bump and run portion of coverage. Guys could not get off the line, it was amazing to see.

TOP PROSPECT ANALYSIS: Tony Andres ,LB/S, Class of 2010

Tony Andres, Class 2010: LB/S, 5-10.5, 185, Hightower, TX

Quick Writeup:
Tony is one of those hybrid athletes that can play speed outside linebacker or strong safety. He has tremendous athleticism and football skills and have watched him lock down RB's in one one's without them catching a pass. He was the top LB at the Top Prospect Camp from an athleticism standpoint, he looks to me to be more of a SS type in college. 
NUC Overall MVP-Houston
U100 Top LB-Top Prospect Camp
Stats: 4.65 40, 30.5 inch vertical

Further Analysis:
Tony is a definite D-1a prospect but the question is where. He plays LB on one of the better programs in the Houston area, but is more likely to be a Safety on the next level, unless he joins a program running the 3-3-5 where he would be perfectly suited to play the rover position. Very Physical, very quick he has the athleticism to get it done on the field and coming from a program that in 2009 put out two D-1 LB's , Tony should be the next one in line. Amazing footwork and change of direction and a great acceleration to the ball are tremendous assets to Tony getting the job done.

TOP PROSPECT ANALYSIS: Devon Hocutt ,LB, Class of 2011

Devon Hocutt, Class 2011: LB, 6-0, 256, CE Ellison HS, TX

Quick Writeup:
Devon is a straight beast, Physical and freakishly athletic for a guy who weighs 256. Great footwork, speed, and power for an MLB.
NUC LB MVP-Dallas
U100 LB MVP-Southwest
U100 Top LB-Top Prospect Camp
Stats: 4.8 40, 4 8-5 broad, 28 inch vert, 38 reps on 155

Further Analysis:
Devon is also among the Best LB's for the class of 2011. Shoot, he would be listed as one of the best DL as well if he was a Defensive Lineman, but lets discuss him as an LB. Good speed, great athleticism for 256 and sideline to sideline capability, whats not to love. He can cover rb's very well and he can bump them right into the dirt. He has great power and ball skills, he has offers already from number big 12 schools and expect more to come. Tenacious, fierce and a straight baller. He makes plays in one on one's and on 7 on 7's in the camps and then on film...well get film on him he is a killer.
