Prospects Look to Jumpstart their recruiting exposure in Jacksonville!

The National Underclassmen Combine returns to the Jacksonville/Wilmington this weekend at Eugene Ashley HS with hopes of finding a big time recruit from this small region.

two star recruit DeAnthony Williams (Northside HS) was the star at the 09' combine, battling throughout the event for pride, glory and a shot to make a difference at the next level. The 6'0 277 lb d-tackle is a terrific student athlete with great physical strength and has generated interest from Maryland.

Brian Laws Jr. (White Oak) was amongst the top athletes of the season and took home the Combine King/WR MVP awards just one year ago. The athletically gifted 6'0 153 lb Laws had a 32 inch vertical, 9'9 broad jump and did a terrific job during 1 on 1 drills.

Donjore Gainey (Northside) led the underclassmen by storm just one year ago, taking home the RB MVP. At 5'9.5 164, Gainey had a 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.73 shuttle, bench pressed 135 lbs 22 times and displayed tremendous potential during 1 on 1's.

"The Jacksonville, North Carolina region is flying under the radar in the scheme of things, but that doesn't indicate a lack of talent", said NUC CEO &President David Schuman. "Any knowledgeable scout will tell you that the next great prospect could come from Alaska or Zimbabwe, so athletes competing in the smaller regions must receive equal attention."

Current 8th-10th graders are slated to compete at 8 am on Saturday, while juniors are slated to put their talents on display the very same day at 1 PM.

All players 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.

Athletes can sign up for the Jacksonville/Wilmington combine on www.nationalunderclassmen.com or call 1-888-NUC-MVP1 for more details.

NUC Miami-Sophomores Star at Cooper City High School!

Ryan Janvion of Dade Christian School topped a group of tremendous Miami area athletes Saturday afternoon at Cooper City HS. Janvion won both the Combine King and Overall MVP (something that is rarely, if ever
done) after putting toegther a stunning performance. Janvion had a 38.5 inch
vertical, 10'4 broad jump, ran a 3.99 shuttle, 4.58 40 and bench pressed 155
lbs 20 times. While his statistics were ballistic, what he did during 1 on 1's
were even more unbelievable.

This ridiculously talented 5'10 169 lb running back was a monster during 1 on 1's using his athleticism, quickness, perfectly ran routes and solid hands to simply put him in a league of his own. I can only
imagine the kind of offers he will get in a few years.

University School's Abraham Garcia literally looked like a man amongst boys. Torres, a massive 6'4 339 lb machine, took home the OL MVP and Strongest Man awards while competing with the junios. He bench pressed
185 lb 29 times, had unprecedented quickness for a player his size (he ran 4.9
shuttle), and had tremendous hands, which helped him dominate the opposing
linemen during 1 on 1's. I would be shocked if Garcia didn't end up at a big
time program in the future

Vitually matching Garcia was 6'3 329 lb Danny Isdora of Cypress Bay HS. Isdora was a monster during the 1 on 1's and like Garcia, whom he shared the OL MVP with, had surprising quickness for a player his size.
Something about 16 year old kids having NFL type size is scary to me in a good
way.

St. Thomas Aquinas' Joseph McClary, the Fastest Man award winner, looks like he has what it takes to be a star kickoff returner. McCary, who plays for one of the best programs in the country, ran a 4.27
shuttle, 4.51 40 and also had a 9'5 broad jump. Sure he is undersized at 5'6.5
136, but if you can't catch him does it really matter?

Silmoje Dallaway, 6'0 217 lb LB MVP from Park Vista HS, and Kevis Jones, 6'1.5 195 lb QB MVP were each terrific athletes who gave it their all on the gridiron. Between Jones' accuracy and Dallaway's emergence
during 1 on 1's along with many other great players in this session, there
really isn't much more I could ask for.
