The National Underclassmen is proud to unveil the second addition of the Ultimate150. As you can tell the U150 has been expanded to an U160. Each member of the U160 is worth a total of 1.5 points towards his team recruiting rankings. Additionally we have selected the ten highest ranked NUC participants that just missed the U160. They will also give their future college 1.5 points towards the team recruiting rankings. There are 42 new members of NUC Ultimate160 from all around the country. Texas still leads the way with 17 members in the U160 followed closely by Florida (16) and California (15). Georgia remains in fourth with ten prospects in the U160 followed by Ohio with eight. Louisiana and Pennsylvania each have seven prospects. They are followed very closely by Illinois and Virginia with six a piece. Alabama, Maryland, and Washington all have five representatives in the new NUC Ultimate160. There are 40 different states represented in the U160 rankings. These rankings will be updated two more times prior to signing day on February, 6, 2013. They will be updated during the middle of the season and towards the end of January prior to National Signing Day. We wish every member of the U160 and those who just missed the U160 a successful senior season.

Saddle Sore Norco TP Camp Testimonial to Dave Schuman, National Underclassmen Combines

TP Camp Testimonial #NUC 
"My son had a GREAT time at the Elite Camp. He has completely enjoyed being a part of the NUC and is looking forward to next year. I see that ratings have been posted for the class of 2013, but are there going to be ratings for the class of 2015? My son was hoping to get a good National Ranking out of the camp. OHH yeah and when we got back to our hotel after the last day he had an email from a college who saw him at the camp. So for any doubters out there the NUC is for REAL!"

Samuel Harvill Thank you to David Schuman, National Underclassmen Combines

NUC Testimonial to David Schuman , National Underclassmen Combines

Angelo Perrucci, Wilson Area HS

"The Charleston events that occurred between December 27, 2010 and December 31, 2010 could not have been better. The competition was great. The coaches were accessible, helpful, and positive. The facilities were easy to get to and, since they were in Charleston, provided many other activities for our family over the break. Perhaps, most impressive, was the organizational skills your staff exhibited in pulling so many athletes from all over the globe together for so many fun events. Thanks again."

Top Prospect Elite - Class of 2014 Top Performers

Photo by: National Underclassmen Football Combine Top Prospect Elite - Class of 2014 Top Performers Courtesy: Barry Every / National Underclassmen Combine           Release: July 30, 2012 Share on facebook_like Norman, Oklahoma- Over 550 prospects from around the country were on hand for the final NUC Camp of the season held on the gorgeous Oklahoma University campus. The largest and most talented group at the camp was the class of 2014. Each of these participants earned their way into one of the most elite camps in the nation by qualifying at an earlier NUC event. They had the opportunity to show off their football acumen during agilities, individual position work, one-on-ones, and in a 7-on-7 instructional camp. Below are the young prospects that caught the watchful eye of, NUC National Analyst, Barry Every. These prospects demonstrated the skill and possessed the size potential to play football at the next level.   Khari Blasingame, DB, 6-0, 185, Buckhorn, AL Assets: Blasingame is a tall lean defensive back with excellent lower body structure. His frame will easily allow him to hold another 15 pounds of muscle mass. He uses his long legs to gobble up yardage in the secondary. During the 7-on-7 instructional tournament he was able to pick off passes thrown with too much air between the hashes. After the catch he has the speed and change of direction to take interceptions the distance. Though he did not win an award he was most likely the top safety prospect in the camp. Development: He needs to work on staying lower in his backpedal which will allow him to react quicker to the ball while in man coverage. Blasingame could be a little more aggressive in his jams at near the line of scrimmage.   Tony Brown, DB, 6-0, 181, Ozen, TX Assets: Brown wowed the coaching staff early on during the agility stations in the Everest Center. He demonstrated extremely quick feet and hips on a swivel as he moved in and out of the cones. This potential corner has the coveted height and long arms that DI DB coach's desire. He is very smooth in his backpedal and he comes out of it like a charging lion attacking its prey. His size also lends itself for playing several positions in the secondary. But more importantly you have to love his positive attitude about competing against other prospects from around the country. And the icing on the cake is the fact that he is a high character kid with exceptional grades. Brown walked away with the DB MVP for the class of 2014. Development: If I was going to be picky Brown needs to be a tad more physical with receivers off the line of scrimmage. He needs to jam them hard enough to disrupt the route while using the sideline as another defender.   KJ Carta-Samuels, QB, 6-2, 200, Bellarmine Prep, CA Assets: Carta-Samuels has excellent overall body structure for a signal caller. He stands tall in the pocket while getting good depth on his drops. He is then able to dissect the defense by taking what they give based on the coverage. His throwing motion is short and compact and the ball comes out of his hand with consistent spin. This signal caller was also very aggressive taking more reps during the one-on-ones than any other quarterback. During the 7-on-7 instructional tournament he was able to guide his team down the field by using his strong arm and good field vision. He walked away from this camp as the QB MVP in a very deep group. Development: He can work on hitching less and work more on keeping his weight on his back foot until he throws the ball. This will help with accuracy because it will allow him to replicate his throwing motion over and over again (muscle memory).   Elliott Davis, WR/DB, 6-0, 156, Quince Orchard, MD Assets: Davis is one silky smooth athlete. He runs routes like a bouncing gazelle using his feet and hips to throw defensive backs off balance. He then was able to attack the ball like a rebounder ripping it down at its highest point. Davis also proved to be very versatile taking reps at cornerback during one-on-ones and looking extremely confident. He used his long arms to take receivers off their intended routes. Davis also demonstrated hips on swivel in allowing him to run step for step with receivers going deep. His hard work earned him the ATH MVP award. Development: It is imperative that he add strength and muscle mass on is extremely lean frame. This will help with jump balls and getting off press coverage. Adding this extra size will also improve his homerun speed.   Bear Fenimore, QB, 6-1, 224, Westwood, TX Assets: Fenimore came into this camp looking leaner than I have ever seen prior to the NUC Top Prospect-Elite Camp. He looked confident and relaxed taking his drops while sorting out the defense. He was then able to put the ball right on his intended target. Fenimore is at his best when throwing passes to the boundary or on quick slants getting the ball there in time for his receiver to make yards after the catch. There is little doubt about him developing into a major DI quarterback. Development:  I would like to see him be a tad more vocal and direct with his receivers similar to his quarterback coach Chris Weinke. Don't always be so nice; it's ok to show some emotion. On a couple occasions he lollygagged when taking his drops decreasing the time he has to make a decision.   Derek Ibekwe, LB, 5-11, 209, Lamar Consolidated, TX Assets: This is one rocked up linebacker especially in the upper body. Ibekwe does a great job of redirecting backs out of the backfield causing quarterbacks to look elsewhere to deliver the ball. During the 7-on-7 portion of the camp he was able to drop into coverage using quick feet and a great sense of field awareness. On more than one occasion he was able to get his hands on passes. His skill set is also ideal for coverage teams at the next level. Ibekwe is also a high character athlete with excellent academics. He ended up being the easy choice for LB MVP. Development: He could add some lower body muscle mass which will help with bouncing around in the tackle box. Improving hip flexibility will help him when dropping in coverage.   Quadrekas Key, WR, 6-0, 172, Walker, AL Assets: Key was the other silky smooth receiver with exceptional body control. He possesses long arms and can jump out of the building giving him the advantage on jump balls. He is able to create space using a hard plant foot and a shifty hip and shoulder move. During the 7-on-7 portion of the camp he took over in a couple games becoming the go to guy for his team. You really have to love the way he attacks the ball with his hands. His dominating performance in the 7-on-7 instructional tournament allowed him to be named 7-on-7 MVP. Development: Key will need to work on getting stronger while adding more muscle mass. Right now he is a tad slight for making plays over the middle where there will be huge collisions. This added muscle mass should also improve his top end speed.   Nathan McConnell, OL, 6-4, 281, Jacksonville, NC Assets: McConnell already has the size, girth, and strength that college coaches are looking for in an offensive lineman. He is very physical at the point of attack and doesn't mind being run over slowly if that is what he has to do to impede pass rushers. He did a nice job with his lateral movement to counteract any moves the defensive lineman used during the one-on-one portion of the camp. His strong effort earned him the OL MVP amongst a large group of competitors. Development: He needs to work on getting full extension on his two handed punch. I would also like to see him work on improving his hip and knee flexibility just a tad. This will help him get into a quicker pass set and uncoil faster while run blocking.   Henry McGrew, LB, 6-3, 226, Blue Valley, KS Assets: There is no doubt about this linebacker passing the eyeball test. He possesses excellent overall body structure and has the frame to add an additional 20 to 30 pounds of muscle mass. McGrew takes up a lot of space in the middle of the field and he has a knack of being able to break up passes thrown through the box. He would be considered a giant inside linebacker right now with the potential of growing into a pass rushing defensive end. Development: If he wants to project as an inside linebacker at the next level he will need to work on staying lower in his backpedal. Right now he has a tendency to play a little high. Improving hip and knee flexibility will help in this area.   Jakell Mitchell, TE, 6-2, 202, Opelika, AL Assets: Mitchell is a long limbed hybrid TE/WR that demonstrated the ability to find holes in the defense. He does a nice job of getting off jams by using his arms to keep defenders off his body. But what really stood out about this gridiron warrior was his ability to attack the ball with his hands in overcrowded spaces on the field. He was definitely one of the go to guys in the red zone for his team during the 7-on-7 instructional tournament. Because of that he was awarded the TE MVP award for the class of 2014. Development: Mitchell will need to continue to fill out so he can become an asset in the running game. He could also work on lengthening his stride which will help with becoming a downfield threat.   Torrance Mosley, WR, 5-9, 153, Dutchtown, LA Assets: Mosley has all the skills to become the quintessential slot receiver at the next level. He is quick as a South Georgia Gnat and has the ability to make yards after the catch. He also possesses excellent body control for catching passes thrown slightly off target. During the 7-on-7 tournament he demonstrated the ability to make defenders miss in the open field and take the ball the distance. In the end he was the easy choice as WR MVP for the class of 2014. Development: Though he has excellent overall body structure he is still a bit light in the pants. It is imperative that he play at around 175-pounds at the next level to help with durability and becoming a competent run blocker.   Sione Palelei, RB, 5-8-1/2, 190, East Ascension, LA Assets: No performer in this camp regardless of age group put on a better show from start to finish then this back. Palelei has incredible body structure along with great top end speed and quickness. This muscled up back also has great body control, soft hands, and excellent concentration as a receiver out of the backfield. His body structure will allow him to break simple arm tackles and get off linebackers that want to jam him at the line of scrimmage. During the 7-on-7 instructional tournament he played on both sides of the ball. Though blessed with all these physical skills he appears to be humble and a real team player. His Herculean effort earned him the highest award for the class of 2014 Overall MVP. Development: I may have said this before but he needs to stay focused on being the best and staying healthy. Palelei will become one of the top prospects in Louisiana and the nation for the class of 2014.   Kamyrn Pettway, RB, 6-0, 222, Prattville, AL Assets: This is one huge running back that can surely move the pile. But he is more than just a behemoth ball carrier. Pettway looked nimble and quick during the agility drills. He also flashed very soft hands for a big back during individual drill work. Then during one-on-ones he took linebackers off guard using his speed to get behind them with regularity. When the camp progressed to the 7-on-7 tournament so did Pettway's play. His effort did not go unnoticed as he won the RB MVP award. Development: This fall will be Pettway's first season as the featured back for perennial power Prattville, AL. How will he hold up to throughout the season and can he actually get huge yardage after contact?   Tyler Swafford, QB, 6-1, 187, Brentwood Academy, TN Assets: Swafford did a nice job of getting his depth quickly then delivering strike after strike. He has nice weight transfer giving him enough arm strength to make most any throw required of him. His throwing motion is also very efficient with a nice wrist flick at the end to create spin on his passes. He also did a good job of communicating to the receivers and listening to coaches. I had him in my top three signal callers in a deep group of quarterbacks for the class of 2014. Swafford did not leave empty handed as the NUC coaching staff honored him the Leadership Award. Development: This fall he will be sharing some time with Florida Gator commit Max Staver. He needs to make the most of his opportunities especially in big games. There is little doubt about him having the tools to excel at the next level.   Christopher Thompson, DB, 5-8-1/2, 187, Voise Academy, IL Assets: This thick muscular corner goes all out on every practice rep. Thompson looked fleet of foot during agilities and technically sound during position work. During one-on-ones he proved to be at his best when playing press man using his size and strength to overpower thin receivers. He exudes confidence and doesn't pine when beaten on a one-on-one rep. Thompson was part of a swarming secondary that dominated the 7-on-7 instructional tournament leading the Maroon team to the championship. Development: He could work on his change of direction just a tad while playing off man coverage. He needs to get those hips turned around just a fraction of a second sooner if he wants to project as a corner. Improving overall flexibility should rectify this issue. He may not have the ideal height to play safety but he has the strength and speed.   T.V. Williams, WR, 5-7-1/2, 143, McKinney, TX Assets: Williams is faster and quicker than lightning in a bottle. During agilities his feet moved so fast he caused blurred vision to the evaluators. During individual position drills he ran sharp crisp routes and flashed soft hands. But it was the on-on-ones where he sawed off most defenders at the waste using his superior skill set. No one could cover this receiver with off man coverage and if you missed on the jam he was hitting a homerun. Williams continued to have a strong day during the 7-on-7 tournament by taking short passes and turning them into long gains. Development: Williams has to add 20 pounds of muscle mass over the next two years. He sometimes struggled against good press coverage. That added size and strength will also help with durability.   Other Top Performers: Kaleb Chalmers, DB, Greenwood, SC; Luther Jones, DL MVP, Union County, GA; Elijah Lee, WR, Blue Springs, MO; Daniel Lewis, Jr., DB, New Iberia, LA; Bobby Limon, OL, Lehman, TX; Austin Mansell, LB, Walker, AL; Marcus McMaryion, QB, Dinuba, CA; Jarrett Mitchell, RB, Kubasaki, Japan; Marcus Outlow, RB, Norwich Free Academy, CT; Joshua Smiley, LB, Pomfret, CT; Mac Storm, OL, Northwestern-Lehigh, PA; William Tillery, DB, Monticello, VA.

Norman, Oklahoma- Nearly 400 athletes were on hand on the picturesque campus of Oklahoma University for the second session of the NUC Top Performers camp. These gridiron warriors battled unbearable temperatures for over six hours to show off their football skills. They had the opportunity to show off their football skills during agilities, individual position work, one-on-ones, and in a 7-on-7 instructional camp. Below are the young prospects that caught the watchful eye of, NUC National Analyst, Barry Every. These prospects demonstrated the skill and possessed the size potential to play football at the next level.
Jonathan Alvarez, OL, 6-2, 273, Mesquite Horn, TX (2014) Assets: This offensive lineman has superior body structure for a potential center or guard at the next level. Alvarez is a natural hip and knee bender that can really uncoil from his stance with a lot of power. He is also athletically gifted with quick feet allowing him to dance with defenders. Alvarez is very tough and not afraid to mix it up as he was the popular choice for defenders to call out during the final showcase. He ended up being the easy choice for OL MVP. Development: The two areas he will need to work on in order to be considered an elite lineman is keeping his head up while pass setting and not over setting leaving the inside move open. Outside of that I can definitely say he has what it takes physically to be considered a legit DI prospect.
	Joey Banks, RB, 5-9, 174, Franklin, CA (2014) Assets: Banks caught my eye early on during agilities. He is light on his feet with great change of direction and balance. During the one-on-one portion of the camp he proved to be nearly unstoppable by using his quickness, acceleration, and body control to beat linebacker's silly. On several occasions he was able to get deep and make tremendous over the shoulder catches. Banks also possesses excellent overall body structure and the frame to add at least another 20 pounds of muscle mass. This back from the West Coast was the simple choice for RB MVP. Development: He had very few weaknesses in his skill set. This fall will most likely be his first as the every down go to guy at running back. Adding that additional size while maintaining his overall athleticism will allow him to get more yards after contact. There is little doubt that he already possesses DI ability.
	Grant Bouma, LB, 6-2, 215, Bakersfield Christian, CA (2014) Assets: This linebacker has excellent overall body structure with the potential to add another 30 pounds of muscle mass. Bouma proved to be very physical at the point of attack during the one-on-ones using his size and strength to steer backs off their intended patterns. During the 7-on-7 tournament he did a nice job of closing off the middle of the field. He was able to use his length to make plays on errant passes. His effort did not go unnoticed as he won LB MVP for the class of 2014. Development: He will need to work on his flexibility just a tad which should help him when dropping in coverage. This will also help him run sideline to sideline to make plays on the ball carrier.
	Kai Callins, RB, 5-10, 173, Guthrie, OK (2014) Assets: Callins was one of three backs that looked superior to every other athlete going through agilities. This guy is a perfectionist when it comes to route running. He does a great job of planting his foot while giving a head and shoulder fake. This move left linebackers corkscrewed into the ground as he ran by. Callins also has very soft hands and exceptional body control for a running back. He then took his skill set to the instructional 7-on-7 tournament and dominated on the field of play. His tremendous effort earned him theOverall MVP for the class of 2014 in the camp. Development: Callins is a bit lean in the upper body and will need to add additional muscle mass if he wants to project as a running back at the next level. He could also work on his top end/homerun speed. Outside of that he has the football skill set and IQ to project on either side of the ball at the DI level.
	Bobby Lee Garza, ATH, 5-11, 180, McCullom, TX (2013) Assets: Garza may have had the best body structure for a skilled position player in this camp. He also took reps as a defensive back, receiver, and running back. He understands versatility is the key to long term success in football. During agilities he looked like a gifted shifty athlete as he whizzed through the stations. During one-on-ones he physically dominated most receivers he faced. If he is beaten in a one-on-one rep he does not pout but only comes back more determined. This jack of all trades ended up earningOverall MVP for the class of 2013. Development:  As a defensive back he needs to work on getting a good jam on the receiver while not allowing a clean inside release. Use the boundary as your second defender. Right now he has more than five DI offers. He needs not to wait too long before verbally committing in my opinion because some of these schools could fill up.
Logan Moragne, RB, 5-10, 175, Little Rock Central, AR (2014) Assets: Moragne was the third back that looked like a special recruit in my opinion. He has excellent lower body structure and the lateral movement to give defenders fits. During the one-on-ones he used his superior change of direction and soft hands to simply embarrass every backer he faced. But what really caught my eye was his understanding of route running and finding holes in the defense. If not for some cramping issues we could have been talking Moragne for RB or Overall MVP. Development: Adding upper body muscle mass will help with durability and yards after contact. I love this players workmen like attitude and football IQ he just needs to be patient for his opportunity to shine on the big stage this fall.
	Gregory Peace, DB, 5-10, 165, Arlington Bowie, TX (2015) Assets: Peace made his name known early on in the camp by showing off his quick feet and hips during the agility stations. His positional coach raved about his smooth balanced backpedal during individual drills. He then translated his physical skills into lock down coverage during the one-on-ones. Peace used his long arms to guide receivers off their intended patterns. He was able to flip his hips and run stride for stride down the sideline lines. During the 7-on-7 instructional tournament he blanketed his side of the field making it a no fly zone for signal callers. He earned the highest honor for the class of 2015 Overall MVP. Development: He already possesses excellent height for his age and the position.  He now needs to add an additional 20 pounds over the next three years while maintaining his overall athleticism.
Christian Pearsall, ATH, 6-0, 205, UMS-Wright, AL (2014) Assets: Pearsall has excellent overall body structure which will allow him to project at several positions at the next level. He worked out at receiver in this camp but looks more like an H-Back or a Ted. He first caught my eye by using his deceiving speed to beat cornerbacks deep in the 7-on-7 tournament. For a thick muscular athlete he has extremely soft hands and superior body control. Pearsall can make the over the shoulder catch as easy as he can make the tough catch in heavy traffic. And though he was not selected for an award he proved to be one of the more versatile players in the entire camp. Development: I really think long term he will project as either a linebacker or H-Back/Fullback at the next level. I really think these are the two positions he should work out at future camps.
	Mook Reynolds, DB, 5-10, 155, Northern Guilford, NC (2015) Assets: Reynolds was the other rising sophomore defensive back that shined at this camp. He already had the ideal height and long arms for the position. You have to like his attitude because he took reps at defensive back and receiver. Reynolds uses his long arms to guide receivers towards the boundary and to make plays on the ball. He also has hips on a swivel which allow him to change direction and recover when beaten. By the end of the day he had earned DB MVP for the class of 2015. Development: I would like to see him work on staying lower in his backpedal which should only magnify the number of plays on the ball he will make. He is also very thin at this time and will need to add an additional 25 pounds of muscle mass over the next three years.
Shaan Washington, WR, 6-3, 208, Alexandria, LA (2013) Assets: Wow! This is one good looking prospect on the hoof. He stood out early on during agilities because of his overall size and superior body structure. But Washington is more than just a pretty picture he was able to show off quick feet and good lateral movement. His size will definitely cause matchup problems for linebackers and defensive backs. During one-on-ones he was able to show off his elegant long stride and uncanny body control as he attacked the ball in the air. His strong performance earned himWR MVP for the class of 2013. Development: As a potential receiver at the next level he may want to work on his top end speed in order to be considered a deep threat. His body structure allows him to project at several positions such as a hybrid TE or even a linebacker. If he is open minded college coaches will put him were he can see the field first.
	Daniel Wise, DL, 6-2-1/2, 223, Hebron, TX (2014) Assets: This defensive end looks great in his stance with powerbase high in the air and hands ready to get underneath the offensive lineman. Wise fires off the ball like a rocket gaining the early advantage with hand placement. But what really stands out about this young pass rushing specialist is his use of hands. He looks like a martial arts specialist using his hands as weapons to keep offensive lineman whiffing at his body. He was the unanimous choice for DL MVP. Development: Wise simply dominated the one-on-ones and clearly looks the part of a major DI prospect. He will need to continue to add more muscle mass in order to battle much larger offensive tackles at the next level. His skill set may lend itself to projecting as a hybrid DE/LB in the 3-4 defense.
