Quick Hits from Columbia South Carolina Freshman Session!


·        Jordan Berry (Dutch Fork HS) was the leader of a talented pack, bringing home the Overall MVP.   At 5'10 146, Berry had tremendous hands, a 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.38 shuttle and 4.63 40. With the help of a good weight lifting program, Berry will be an even bigger problem for defenses.

·        Augusta Christian's Thomas "Money  in the" Banks may only be in 8th grade, but he already has the looks of a super star. The 5'8.5 152 lb defensive back had an 8'7 broad jump, ran a 4.40 shuttle, has good hips and changes direction well. During 1 on 1's, he was all over the place. We can't wait to see what he does in the next few years.

·        Tyler Roberson (Augusta Christian) has a great attitude, works hard and knows how to keep those around him pumped up. A 6'0.5 178 lb QB, Roberson also had an 8'1 broad jump and ran a 4.31 shuttle.

·        Joshua Mercer (South Effingham) is a speed demon with awesome athleticism. The 5'10.5 171 lb Mercer put up tremendous stats, jumping an 8'10 on the broad, running a 4.32 shuttle, 4.58 40 and bench pressing 135 lbs 22 times. From an athletic standpoint, Mercer is the total package.

·        Bamberg HS' Nicholas Halmon did a terrific job during 1 on 1's and has very good strength. The 5'9.5 165 lb prospect, who won the LB MVP, had an 8'5 broad jump, ran a 4.58 shuttle, tossed up 155 lbs 23 times and was a beast during 1 on 1's. He is flexible, moves down hill well and listens at all times. This is what coaches are looking for from their players.

·        Richard Hayes was in a league of his own during the individual period, putting an everlasting impression on our coaches. The well deserved QB MVP at 5'9 145, Hayes throws a great ball, is a leader on the field, makes good choices and maintained his cool at all times.
