Top Hopper Returns as Official Vertical Jump Partner for 2026 National Scouting Combine

Naples, FL – The National Scouting Combine (NSC) is proud to announce that Top Hopper, the most accurate vertical jump measurement system in the industry, will once again be featured at the 2026 National Event in Naples, Florida. Unlike other combines, the NSC uses only the best equipment available to measure performance data. Athletes will have the opportunity to showcase their explosiveness and vertical skills at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex from January 6–9, 2026.

Top Hopper has earned a reputation for precision, durability, and usability, making it the gold standard in vertical jump measurement. With experience working alongside major combines such as the NBA Combine and the CFL Combine, Top Hopper continues to innovate and deliver the most accurate vertical jump height measurements for athletes, coaches, and scouts.

“The athletes at the NSC are very supportive and cheer on each other. We’re thrilled to bring the latest version of our vertical jump system to Naples. For athletes, coaches, and scouts, the message is simple: don’t waste your money on anything else — the Top Hopper is the new gold standard for measuring vertical jump heights.”

Why the partnership works so well:

“The National Scouting Combine is the perfect stage to showcase the Top Hopper system,” Mervis said. “Athletes can test their vertical jump with precision, and coaches and scouts get reliable results every time.”

Jesse Heninger, CMO of the National Scouting Combine, commented:

“Top Hopper makes the vertical jump part of the combine simple and accurate. It’s exciting to see athletes push themselves and get results they can trust. Having a system like this makes the experience more professional and really helps coaches see what each athlete can do.”

NSC Founder and CEO Jimmy Kibble added:

“We’re thrilled to work with Top Hopper again. Their system is easy to use, reliable, and gives coaches and athletes the info they need right away. It also adds a level of consistency to the combine that helps everyone, from the first jump to the last.”
