The National Underclassmen Combine made a stop at the Sports
Blast Sport Facility in Birmingham, Alabama recently, and
walking away with the Overall MVP was sophomore DB Jacolby
Hardnett of Opelika High School. Hardnett was amazing
throughout the event, and also set a new National
Underclassmen Combine record in the broad jump!
The sophomore had an amazing 10'7" broad jump, to go along
with a 4.39 shuttle, 4.71 40, 37.5-inch vertical, and 19
reps on 155-pounds. At 5-foot-10 and 175-pounds, Hardnett is
a great all-around athlete and was fabulous in coverage.
Also winning an award for Opelika High School was sophomore
RB Corey Grant, who took home the Fastest Man Award with a
4.47 40. The running back, 5-foot-9 and 170-pounds, is also
an all-around great athlete, and proved that with a 37-inch
vertical, 9'9" broad, 4.19 shuttle, and 22 reps on
155-pounds.
Winning the DL MVP was sophomore Martaze Jackson of
Demopolis High School. Jackson, 6-foot-2 and 204-pounds,
showed fantastic rush technique and speed during 1-on-1's,
and he also excelled during the combine events with a 10'1"
broad, 32-inch vertical, 4.78 40, and 4.52 shuttle.
Deserving a special mention on the defensive line is
freshman Alex Bearden of Springville High School. Bearden,
6-foot-2 and 225-pounds, showed tremendous upside for a
freshman during 1-on-1's, plus he had 26 reps at 155-pounds,
a 4.69 shuttle, 4.91 40, 24.5-inch vertical, and an 8'0"
broad.
While Bearden didn't win an award at the NUC this year,
someone from his high school did take home a trophy.
Sophomore offensive lineman Chase Hughes was named the
Strongest Man with 18 reps on 185-pounds. Hughes, 6-foot-2
and 280-pounds, also had a 5.36 40, 4.61 shuttle, 22-inch
vertical, and 8'0" broad.
The OL MVP went to sophomore Seth Reedy, 6-foot-3 and
254-pounds, of Piedmont High School, who showed a great
combination of size, strength, and athleticism. Reedy also
finished with 14 reps on 185-pounds, a 4.98 shuttle, 5.37
40, and 23.5-inch vertical.
Coming from Miror High School was DB MVP sophomore Terrance
Slaughter. At 6-foot-0 and 190-pounds, Slaughter possesses
great cover skills in the bump n' run, and was equally
impressive during the combine events. He had a 29.5-inch
vertical, 4.38 shuttle, 4.74 40, 8'7.5" broad, and 12 reps
on 155-pounds.
Pushing Slaughter the entire way for the DB MVP award was
sophomore Jeremy Wallace of Demopolis High School. Wallace,
5-foot-6 and 159-pounds, also showed excellent bump n' run
technique, plus he had a 27-inch vertical, 4.88 40, 4.40
shuttle, and 15 reps on 155-pounds.
The best signal caller of the day was QB MVP Preston Messer
of McGill Toolen High School. The sophomore has great feet,
a smooth release, and showed very good accuracy on both
short and long throws. At 6-foot-0 and 182-pounds, he had a
27-inch vertical, 8'10" broad, 4.55 shuttle, and 26 reps on
155-pounds.
While sophomore Braxton Chitty of Northview High School did
not win the QB MVP, he did take home the Combine King Award
for sophomores. Chitty, 6-foot-3 and 177-pounds, had a
35.5-inch vertical, 4.51 40, 9'9.5" broad, 4.27 shuttle, and
12 reps on 155-pounds. Aside from excelling in the combine
events, Chitty also threw a very good ball, and he has the
potential to become a top dual threat quarterback prospect
next year.
Winning the Combine King Award for freshmen was LB Charles
M. Benning of McGill Toolen High School. Benning is a tough
player, who already shows great linebacker skills as a
frosh. However, it was the combine events where he truly
excelled. At 5-foot-11 and 211-pounds, he had a 34-inch
vertical, 8'6" broad, 4.91 40, 4.64 shuttle, and 36 reps on
135-pounds.
The Overall Freshman MVP went to another linebacker, Curtis
Woods of Pisgah High School. Woods, 5-foot-7 and 179-pounds,
more than makes up for his lack of size with his
aggressiveness and athleticism. He also showed that
athleticism during the combine events, as he had a 33.5-inch
vertical, 9'0" broad, 4.28 shuttle, 4.68 40, and 29 reps on
135-pounds.
While Benning and Woods were two freshman linebackers who
excelled, the LB MVP went to sophomore Taylor Hunter of
Handley High School. Hunter, 6-foot-0 and 188-pounds, has
all the tools to be a top level linebacker recruit. He also
had a 30.5-inch vertical, 4.74 40, 4.49 shuttle, 9'0" broad,
and 19 reps on 155-pounds.
Two players went neck and neck for the RB MVP throughout the
event, but the award was finally given to sophomore Michael
Hale, Jr. of BB Comer High School. Hale, 5-foot-8 and
150-pounds, showed great feet and quickness during both the
1-on-1's and the individual drills. He finished with a
30-inch vertical, 4.39 shuttle, 4.78 40, and 10 reps on
155-pounds.
The other running back who excelled was freshman Alonzo
Harris of Gasden City High School. Harris, 6-foot-0 and
178-pounds, really stepped up and delivered during 1-on-1's,
which is when he truly showed off his athleticism. He also
had a 30-inch vertical, 9'0.5" broad, 4.62 shuttle, and had
10 reps on 135-pounds.
The other Gasden City High School freshman who made a name
for himself was QB Terrick Wright, who won the Leadership
Award. Aside from being a great athlete, Wright, 6-foot-2
and 177-pounds, learned how to lead his receivers during the
1-on-1's, and taught them how to get open on high completion
routes. Wright showed off his athleticism during the combine
events with a 28.5-inch vertical, 9'3" broad, 4.60 shuttle,
4.99 40, and 18 reps on 135-pounds.
The final award of the event went to WR MVP Greg Blansit of
Valley Head High School. Blansit, 6-foot-3 and 190-pounds,
is a great route runner with very good hands, which led him
to excel during the 1-on-1's. He also had a 29-inch
vertical, 4.60 shuttle, and 4.96 40.
