2010 NLA FCA Combine Has Several Standouts

Highlights of the day include Xavier Preston's vertical jump, Ladarian Clay's broad jump, Adrian Whiterspoon's broad jump, the forty yard dash times of Tyree Hollins, Austin Graham, and Michael Hunter, and the 3-cone drill performances of Nick Richardson and Vincent Moore.

Xavier Preston from Caldwell jumped 42" in the vertical jump. It wasn't a fluke, as he jumped 43" on his next attempt. Ladarian Clay from Delhi Charter had a great jump of his on. Clay had a 9'10" broad jump. Carroll's Adrian Whiterspoon had a 9'11" broad jump. Austin Graham, from Wesson, MS, ran a 4.39 in the 40 on both of his attempts. Tyree Hollins from Carroll ran a 4.42 and Richwood's Michael Hunter ran a 4.51. Ruston's Nick Richardson and Vincent Moore from River Oaks had a 4.19 and a 4.21 respectively in the 3-cone drill. Other athletes that had solid showings include Blake Branch from Riverfield Academy, Jaren Johnson from Ruston, Joseph Leonard from Jonesboro-Hodge, Michael Hunter and Abdul Collins from Richwood. Vincent Moore also had over 35" on the vertical jump and had one 40 time under 4.5 seconds, (4.48). Terez Thrower, from Crossett, AR, had a very good combine. Riccie Gray, from Delhi Charter, is very fast, especially for a running back his size. Gray is a college prospect at running back, but could project as a pass rush specialist as a defensive end. Dustin Head from LaSalle and Blake Branch from Riverfield Academy look like solid offensive line prospects. Joseph Leonard and Mason Dean have the size and speed to be good defensive ends at the next level.
