NUC ALL-WORLD GRIDIRON CLASSIC KICKS OFF OFFICIAL DRAFT TOUR IN CANADA
Let the fanfare begin as the National Underclassmen heads North to introduce the world to its Canadian
All Star players for the 2010 NUC All-World Gridiron Classic Game
WHAT:
The NUC All-World Gridiron Classic begins its 13 cities Draft Tour in Ontario, Canada on
Tuesday, September 28th as three of Canada’s top high school football players, Tyler Varga, Brett
Weir and Tevaun Smith, are announced live at their high schools. "I am glad to have three of
Canada's best players coming to our game," said NUC Founder & CEO, Coach David Schuman.
The NUC All-World Gridiron Classic Game, featuring 114 elite high school seniors from the
United States, Canada, Mexico and various European countries, will be played on New Year’s Eve
at the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. Invited players include top performers who have
participated in one of NUC's more than 70 combines all across the country during the 2010 season,
in addition to international standouts. NUC Game Committee along with national recruiting
analysts and talent evaluators will select players for both team rosters, Team NUC and Team
World. Coach Schuman promises an extraordinary experience. "The NUC All-World Gridiron
Classic will be unlike any other high school All-Star Game. We have spanned the globe to
introduce the public not only to America's elite football players, but also those beyond US
borders."
WHO:
Tyler Varga is one of Canada’s most dynamic high school football players. Varga was a standout
at NUC's 2010 combines. At 5'10 205 lbs, the powerfully built running back took home RB MVP
following the Detroit Combine and shined at both the Midwest Ultimate 100 and Top Prospect
Camp, placing in the top three at his position at each camp. Widely regarded as Canada's best
prospect, has offers from Baylor and Dartmouth, with more than 20 American schools expressing
interest, including Colorado, California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Harvard.

Tevaun Smith is a deceptively fast Wide Receiver with great ball skills and hands. A top
performer during the 2009 NUC Combine season, the 6’1 165 lbs gifted athlete won Wide
Receiver MVP at the Midwest Ultimate 100 Camp. Smith then took his talents to the Top Prospect
Camp, ranking third among receivers from the entire class of 2011. His outstanding hands and
solid fundamentals have peaked Division 1 interests while becoming one of the top players in
Canada.


2
Brett Weir is regarded as an extremely versatile player, starring at Quarterback, Wide Receiver and
Running back. At 6'4 and 220 lbs, Weir is an all around athlete who’s drawing a lot of attention.
Weir, along with Varga, participated for Team Ontario in the Canada Cup.

ABOUT NUC
Schuman’s National Underclassmen Combine (NUC) is the longest running underclassmen event and the

focused environment that allows freshmen, sophomores and juniors to showcase their skills and talents for
college recruiters and recruiting organizations, giving each student-athlete ample opportunity to get

more than 50,000 athletes have come through NUC events and more than 2,000 athletes to date have
received Division-I scholarships after first attending an NUC event.
