For Immediate Release
With jaw dropping athleticism and terrific receiver skills at 6'1 196, Leftwich runs a 4.4 40, 4.1 shuttle, and has a 39 inch vertical. A top tier prospect in the Show Me State according to renowned Rivals.com, Leftwich committed to the University of Missouri in February, turning away multiple D1 offers in the process. He also starred at the combine in 2010, winning three awards at the Kansas City event en route to receiving an invite to the prominent Top Prospect Camp.
"Leftwich has freakish athletic abilities," exclaimed NUC CEO & President David Schuman. "He's going to create all kinds of problems for defensive backs in college. We are glad he's playing in the game and I personally expect to see big things out of him at the next level."
The NUC All-World Gridiron Classic will showcase 114 elite high school seniors from all across the globe in a unique All-Star Game. Players from the two squads, Team NUC & Team World, will be drafted from the ground up by the coaching staff to ensure a level playing field.
There will also be a full week of events leading up to game day for select All-World Underclassmen including 7 on 7's, linemen challenges and a combine.
The NUC All-World Gridiron Classic kicks off from Columbia, SC at The Citadel's Johnson Hagood Stadium Friday, December 31, 2010 at 6 pm ET. Broadcast and ticket information will be announced shortly.
Since their inception in 2005, the National Underclassmen Combine guided more than 50,000 athletes from all walks of life. 70 percent of the NUC's alumni went on to play in college, with 20 percent earning D1 or D1AA scholarships.
