For the first time in history, the National Underclassmen Combine hits Mobile, Alabama. The Yellowhammer State has a strong reputation for football and U of A's storied 2009 season catapulted them to the National Championship.
"From youth ball to the college level, Bama' has a strong football history", said David Schuman, NUC CEO & President. "We previously did our camp in Gulf Shores, but we decided to move it into a better location so we could truly evaluate statewide prospects."
Talented 2009 Alabamians from the Gulf Shore camp include University of Tennessee bound Martaze Jackson, monstrous offensive lineman Colby West, gifted running back D'Ambro Chatman and QB Logan Paul among others.
The aforementioned Jackson, a highly rated recruit, was one of the NUC's best of 09'. The 6'2 202 lb standout has freakish athleticism for a defensive end, with a 35.5 inch vertical, 10'0 broad jump, 4.59 40 and shuttle in his arsenal. Although he is a bit undersized, his athletic gifts make him a major problem for any offense.
"Martaze Jackson was definitely one of the more unique players we saw last year" stated Schuman. "The chances of finding another highly touted D-1 prospect in Alabama honestly look better than ever."
Current 8-11th graders are slated to hit the gridiron at 8 am this Saturday, April 10.
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.
