Max Ricci commits to All World Gridiron Classic!
For Immediate Release
Mahwah, NJ (December 17, 2010) - Defensive tackle Max Ricci of Gorton, MA has signed to play in the National Underclassmen Combine's inaugural All World Gridiron Classic.
A monster of the midway at 6'4 345 pounds, Ricci dominated throughout his interscholastic career, earning All-State honors the last three seasons. In 2010, the Boston College commit helped his squad to an impressive 8-1 season en route to being ranked as one of Massachusetts' top rated teams.
"Max has the size of an NFL player at 18 years old and that really tells you something," said NUC CEO & President David Schuman."I've heard great things about him and can't wait to see how he stacks up against some of the best offensive lineman from around the world."
Although there are exactly two weeks remaining until opening kickoff, Ricci remains in awe of his selection.
"It’s cool to think that I could be a part of the next big High School All-Star game that kids will be fighting to get into a couple years down the road," said Ricci. "(I'm looking forward to the) chance to gauge myself against some of the best players in the nation before I compete at the Division 1 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.
Commits to the NUC All-World Gridiron Classic include Nationally Rated Defensive Lineman and North Carolina bound Devonte Brown (Fayetteville, NC), Oklahoma commit Kameel Jackson (Arlington, TX) and wideout Junior Pomee (Moreno Valley, CA) amongst others.
