Q: Tell us about your high school career and what the recruiting process has been like thus far.

A: My high school career was difficult because I had to switch high schools because I was getting Racially profiled. Once I came across Coach G he’s been working with me and training me to help me get on a map.

 

Q: When did you receive your first offer and what school was it from? How many offers have you received thus far?

A: I have not received any offers but I am working my hardest every single day on and off the field to receive one.

 

Q: What would you consider to be your biggest accomplishment in your sports career so far?

A: My biggest accomplishments so far was when I attended NFL player Kyle Carter’s  football camp and received the MVP award because no one could guard me on the edge playing D-end. I perform so good NFL player Donovan Smith called me out for a one on one

 

Q: What do you consider to be one of the more important things you learned from the coaching staff while playing at your school?

A: One of the most important things that I learned from my coach which is Coach G was to not get comfortable and never be satisfied because there’s someone always trying to catch up with you and as soon as you slip they will pass you and leave you behind.

 

Q: What have you learned during this unique time in 2020? What did you focus on or accomplish during Quarantine?

A: What I learned from this pandemic was that this is a blessing and a curse. This is a blessing because I was able to take advantage of time and work on my mind and body. I was able to bring my grades up dramatically during this pandemic and I was able to put on good muscle gains.This pandemic can also be a curse because I lost a love one but I’m going to use that to inspire me because I know my grandfather would love to see me make it.

 

Q: If you could play in college, what would you choose to major in? What are your plans if football doesn’t work out?

A: If I was playing in college I would major in business because I would like to have more knowledge on saving and investing money into necessary things so I can never go broke. Sadly teachers don’t teach you how to double or triple your salary so I would take up business to take advantage of life and be more successful, And God for bid but if football doesn’t work out I would love to be a attorney because I am very good at making points and arguing for a good cause to help change someone’s life. 

 

Q: What would your current teammates say about you and your qualities?

A: To be honest I was only close to a few of my teammates but those teammates will say that I have a high work ethic and that I hate looking bad on plays.

 

Q: What has been one of the most memorable plays of your career so far?

A: The most memorable Play of my career was when I got 6 tackles and 1 sack within 8 plays. This was done in my first high school at Brooke point high school.

 

Q: What has been your biggest challenge and how do you manage it?

A: My biggest challenge was to be consistent by working hard but I manage it by waking up and open my third eye and realizing that I’m not going to settle for Minimum wage job. So I have to get up and grind so I can have the opportunity to play in NFL. 

 

Q: If you could compare yourself to a collegiate or pro athlete, who would that be and why?

A: I will compare myself to Jason Pierre Paul because not only we play the same position but growing up he also had a hard time being consistent but he had a wake up call and Started grinding.

 

Q: What is your biggest strength and why should college coaches & scouts consider you?

A: My biggest strength is to get into the backfield on the edge and in the interior, And pass block. College coaches and scouts should consider looking at me because I am willing to put blood, sweat and tears into this career and show them that I’m ready to dominate. I’m ready to prove to them what I’ve been doing this quarantine and how I   been taking advantage of this time to make me into a better person and football player. 

 

Q: Are you involved in mentoring, a charity or do you “give back”/”pay it forward” in your community?

A: Yes, I am involved with giving back to my community because I work from time to time with my father at his business called “Holley‘s auto detailing services” where me and my father detail boats, high end cars and trucks. I will work with him and a fraction of the money that he gets paid from the job goes to supplies for my football team and my coach to show that we Appreciate the time that Coach G put into me. 

 

Q: How are you preparing for the 2020 High School National Scouting Combine and what are your goals for the combine?

A: I am conditioning every day with my jump rope and my resistance parachute because without endurance you can’t be successful in anything that has to do a football, And i’ve been using my cones and creating my own cone drills and I’ve been using my ladder to keep my foot work tight. My goals for the combine is to dominate in everything I do and prove to everyone there that I am worth looking at. One of my main goals is to dominate on the one on ones.

 

Q: What would be your ultimate achievement?

A: My ultimate achievement was that I dominated a NFL player Kyle Carter’s football camp In front of many other NFL players and get noticed and announced.

 

Q: What do you enjoy doing when not playing football? Do you play other sports?

A: The main things that I enjoy doing when not playing football is resting and working out. Sometimes I may play 2K but other than that I’m sleeping/resting and working out to improve my football game.

 

Q: Who is or has been the most influential person in your life?

A: The most influential person in my life is my father because he made so many sacrifices to raise me and my sister all by himself since ‘06. I saw my father work in hot/extreme cold weather for many years just to put food on the table and he wants me to do 1000 times better than what he did so I won’t have to make the same mistakes when I grow up and suffer.

 

Q: What is something unique about you that people would find interesting?

 A: A unique thing about me is my foot work for my size. I am 6’3 246 pounds and I can do the icky shuffle on the ladder in 4.13 seconds.

National Scouting Combine Posts

“I would like to start this message by thanking you and everyone involved who made this opportunity possible. I am truly grateful for the experience and atmosphere you’ve cultivated through the National Scouting Combine. My journey has not been an easy one by any means. Losing my mother in 2017 to cancer, losing the house my brothers and I called home before attending this very event in 2018, and completely bombing the event left me completely shot mentally. This event that just took place gave me the motivation and hope for better days. That is exactly what has been provided to me. Opportunities I never considered have presented themselves to me with each passing day. WWE contract offers, Rugby offers, and NFL scout inquiries about what kind of man Jarrod Cann is, are just the first of many opportunities that were made real through my participation in your event! Thank you for allowing me to tell my story on such a platform and allowing me to save lives with my story.”

“The National Scouting Combine was a great opportunity for me to get official test numbers and get my information out to teams and scouts to gain necessary exposure. It is always a big challenge for athletes to get official verified numbers but the National Scouting Combine gave me this opportunity. The entire staff works with the players to put them into the best position to succeed. They give players opportunities to promote themselves on and off the field. They have a setup to do all combine tests and to perform official position drills. The event also allows for players to gain useful contacts with teams and National Scouting Combine staff members to further promote themselves. The National Scouting Combine provided me with a chance to showcase my abilities as a free agent and put myself in a good position to have success in my pursuit to play professional football. I want thank the National Scouting Combine staff for giving players this unique chance to demonstrate their skills.”

“I had a great experience at the combine. The whole staff was extremely positive and really wanted the best for all of the players that attended. Being that I was a free agent and a season removed from NFL camps it was crucial for me to get new numbers to show I was still working hard. My only opportunity so far came from a scout who attended the combine. As players that’s why we attend these events, to be seen by the pro levels. I’m very greatful for the opportunity that was came from the combine. I’ll be recommending it to every player possible in the future who’s looking to go pro.”

My experience at the National Scouting Combine was an extremely positive one. Coming from a small school (Bryant University – Division I AA), opportunities to showcase my athleticism and measurables to pro scouts were scarce. However, Jimmy and his team gave me that opportunity when they put together a first-class event, in an outstanding venue and invited hundreds of players that had been overlooked or just wanted the opportunity to showcase their abilities. The connections, advice and coaching I received at the 2018 National Scouting Combine were priceless, as many pro scouts and coaches began to get in contact with me during and immediately after the combine. Jimmy and his team did an outstanding job of incorporating new, cutting edge technologies into the combine, while inviting well-respected coaches, scouts and former professional players to run the drills and provide coaching. Jimmy provided me with a platform to chase my dream of playing professional football that I would not otherwise have had, and in turn is part of the reason why many CFL teams took interest in me, why I was invited to Rookie Minicamps with the Jets and Texans and why I have now signed with the Orlando Apollo’s of the new Alliance of American Football League. The invitation to the 2018 National Scouting Combine was a blessing to me and my career and I would recommend any and all small school or overlooked college football player to attend and take advantage of this combine that, with Jimmy leading it, will continue to get better every single year.

“My testimonial would be because of COVID-19, it has hindered my ability to showcase my talents at pro days, workouts, and tryouts. But, because of the NSC I can still send official numbers and video to each team, while also gaining the opportunity to meet scouts in face and build a relationship with them. Lastly, the NSC is second only to the NFL combine which helps me have something else to hang my hat on as one of the top performers!”
Jamal Ware

“Thank you for the support and helping with promoting me for the next level. I am most definitely interested and my experience at the national scouting combine was incredible. It was my first official opportunity and it was a professional combine. All verified, legitimate laser times and numbers are vital to have especially in the times we are facing today. All of the coaches and personnel involved were professional in every aspect. It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to be apart of the national scouting combine and I can’t be more grateful to have verified numbers.”

“First and foremost I would like to thank the NSC staff for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills in front of scouts and allow myself to get relevant combine numbers. This combine is by far the best Combine I have been to. The rooms were great and the food that was provided by NSC was great as well. You can feel that they had a passion for helping those who may not have had an NFL Combine invite and others who are just chasing that opportunity. They were extremely supportive and willing to market the players in every way possible. I was beyond impressed with the testing once we got going. Everything was very organized and professional just as it should be. When it came to the testing they had both hand time and laser time which makes your test times that much more official. The number of scouts that attended the Scouting Combine was even better. This staff truly knows how to put together a legit A+ combine experience and was by far the best combine experience I have been a part of.”

“I was fortunate enough to be a participant in the 2020 BSN Scouting Combine as it was an experience that I will surely never forget. Not only did it open opportunities for me to play football at the professional level, but it also shed light on my path to a football dream as an underdog. Not many athletes get this sort of opportunity and I am just blessed to have been apart of it.”
Tyler Anderson
Tyler AndersonRB, Thomas More University
Pursuing a career in professional football from a small school is a lonely path. A prospect may have the support of his peers, family, and teammates, but the process can be overwhelming and very confusing. Often times small school prospects don’t have access to the resources provided to prospects at football powerhouses. “How can I get myself in front of scouts? How can I prove to them that I can play at the next level?” These are only a few of the many questions that race through a potential prospects mind on a daily basis. The Beyond Sports Network National Combine helped simplify this process for many of the players that attended, including myself. Despite the combine being held for a few days, the information and services provided by the combine, as well as the sense of community between the staff members and prospects stood out to me. Every test that would be performed at the NFL combine was covered, every coach and staff member supported each prospect to an unbelievable extent, and the amount of scouts and agents in attendance and how interactive they were was impressive. The Beyond Sports Network National Scouting Combine was a critical step in attempting to take my talents to the next level. If you are a small school prospect with no clear path to the next level, the National Scouting Combine will certainly clear up the path for you.

BSN gave me the platform I needed to be respected as a athlete. I came to there first Combine in 2010. I was pulled by every NFL, CFL scout. At that time there were a couple really good WRs including a SEC top WR who NFL scouts were coming to see. Once I put up good #s in my Testing Drills, we did one on ones. I showed my great covering skills to the point all the scouts herd the WRs talking and asking who was this guy. Then BSN promoted me and my numbers and I received workouts on all levels. I became a name in the business. Having legit numbers and respectable organization backing you is what you need. Everyone can say they can play and perform but coaches and scouts don’t believe you. BSN gives you the stage to perform and prove them wrong and get the opportunity you deserve. Because of BSN I was able to create a long professional career and when needed comeback to prove I could still play at a high level.
