Top Notch Underclassmen Come to Play in Mobile!

It was the first but certainly not the last combine at Mobile AL's Blount HS this past Saturday. The intensity level was high, there was no quit in any of these athletes and after five hours of intense football, a number of stars shined brighter than a summer afternoon in California.

Kyron Samuels (Fairhope) once again was the best player of his session winning the Sophomore Overall MVP and Strongest Man awards. A bulky 6'1.5 281 lb o-lineman, Samuels bench pressed 185 lbs 27 times, used his quick feet, overall skill and great strength to control the 1 on 1's every time he stepped up.

Jordan Huff of St. Paul's Episcopal HS was the leader of the freshman pack, wining the Overall MVP. The 5'10 177 lb half back had an 8'6 broad jump, ran a 4.31 shuttle, 4.53 40, bench pressed 135 lbs 31 times and was an absolute stud during 1 on 1's. Huff is both quick and strong, making him a serious threat every time the ball is in his hands.

George "Ronnie Coleman" Williams (UMS Wright Prep) is 5'10 190 lbs of sheer strength. From the renowned Samuel Harvill to Hunter Joyer, the NUC has seen a number of herculean players. But Williams incredibly topped both, breaking the all time bench press record by tossing up 135 lbs a ridiculous 77 times. Williams also jumped 8'10 on the broad with a 30.5 inch vertical. What an athlete!

Tyler Stargel (Gulf Shores) does exactly what coaches are looking for from a DL. He is a vocal leader, coachable, explosive, quick and focused. The 6'3.5 225 lb Stargel had an 8'8 broad jump, ran a 4.38 shuttle and really stood out during the 1 on 1's en route to winning the much deserved DL MVP and Leadership awards.

Travis "The Tank" Lockhart (Blount) is 6'5 300 lbs; enough said! The giant sophomore won the OL MVP after literally looking like a man amongst boys during the 1 on 1's.

Matt Hall (Spanish Fort) showed tremendous promise. The 5'11.5 171 lb standout has a great attitude, works hard, displayed a strong arm and bench pressed 135 lbs 23 times. In winning the QB MVP and Leadership awards, Hall is worth keeping an eye on.

Zachary Cresse (Fort Walton Beach), Jamaal Doton (Blount) and Jared Holloway (St. Paul's Episcopal) were all standouts amongst the freshman. a terrific trio indeed.

Mobile has some terrific talent; the 2011 combine should be just that much more interesting!

Sophomores Star at Dutch Fork HS!

TL Hannah's CJ Meredith capped off a star studded sophomore combine last Saturday at Dutch Fork HS. The 6'5 204 lb tight end had a 32 inch vertical, 9'2 broad jump, ran a 4.27 shuttle, 4.58 40, bench pressed 155 lbs 28 times and was a man amongst boys during 1 on 1's. With height, nicely ran routes and great hands, Meredith is a complete TE.

Langston Brown (Timmonsville) put down the defensive linemen during the 1 on 1's en route to being named OL MVP. A monstrous 6'0.5 364, Brown had tremendous strength, good hands and uncanny toughness. At this level, Brown appears to be unstoppable.

Demetric Gray (Blythewood) had quite the day. A 5'9.5 168 lb QB, Gray has a cannon for an arm, reads defenses well, had a 30 inch vertical, 8'3 broad jump and ran a 4.43 shuttle. Naturally, he took home the QB MVP. A dual threat? you bet!

Damar Hall (Blythewood) is an athletically gifted receiver with a great jump off of the snap. The 5'11.5 178 lb Hall runs nice routes, has good hands, a 31.5 inch vertical, 9'10 broad jump and ran a 4.42 shuttle en route to winning the WR MVP. Hall's abilities would make a big difference to any offense.

David Sutton (Dutch Fork) is a star on the rise, taking home the OL MVP as a sophomore even though he participated with the juniors. At 6'2 310, Sutton did a great job during 1 on 1's, using his herculean size to his advantage.

The Columbia region continues to produce talented, hard working, young football players and is likely to do so for a very long time.

Rising Star Kyle Bolin tops Lexington freshman session!

Kyle Bolin of Lexington Catholic HS is a star on his way up. The 6'1 168 lb QB throws a terrific ball, has mechanics like an auto body shop, great footwork and a quick drop step. Not bad for a kid just one year into high school right? Bolin also has quick feet and competing against the sophomores, was a unanimous choice for QB MVP. His future is bright as ever.

Jacob Hyde (Grayson County) took home the Overall MVP and Strongest Man awards. A giant of a freshman at 6'1 304, Hyde tossed up 155 lbs 38 times, had terrific quickness for a player his size. If I were to tell you that freshman often were Hyde's size, I would be lying through my teeth.

Alton Yarbrough was all the way through at the combine, taking home the WR MVP and Fastest Man awards. The 5'11 158 lb Yarbrough had a 31 inch vertical, 8'11 broad jump, ran a 4.68 shuttle and stared during the individual period. From a pure athleticism standpoint, few freshman can match Yarbrough.

Christian "Real Deal" McNeal was simply in a league of his own during the 1 on 1's. The 6'0.5 246 lb standout had quick hands, massive strength and long arms, making the opposing linemen's' day a nightmare.

Matthew Pyke, the OL MVP, is 5'11.5 286 lbs in the 8th grade. Enough said! Potential wise, it's scary to think about what he can do with improved conditioning.

There must really be a special potion in Lexington's water system, as I have never seen freshman as big as those previously mentioned.

Prospect Profile: Detchauz Wray East St. Louis HS

Detchauz Wray, East St. Louis HS, MO Class of 2010: From an athletic standpoint, Wray's abilities can take him a long way. Lanky and lean at 5'11 162, this standout can play a number of positions and is a valuable asset on the gridiron. Wray, a star at the 08' St. Louis combine, is headed to The University of New Mexico, turning down offers from six other D-1 programs.

Future Outlook: Wray's ability to play both QB and WR make him a serious threat. He    has good strength for a player his size and runs a 4.4 40. Where he plays in college      remains to be seen but before taking the field, he must add at least 15 pounds to his frame in order to withstand hits from D-1 players. Once he muscles up a bit, Wray will be a serious problem for everybody except the Lobos.
