Q: Tell us about your high school career and what the recruiting process has been like thus far. 
A: My high school career has been great so far. I’ve always been pushed by my teammates, and I have learned a lot from them. The recruiting process picked up a bit during the quarantine, and I have been in contact with multiple coaches at the next level.

Q: When did you receive your first offer and what school was it from? How many offers have you received thus far? 
A: I received an offer in May from Valparaiso, and that is currently my only offer so far.

Q: What would you consider to be your biggest accomplishment in your sports career so far?
A: Being selected by my teammates as a captain for my junior year.

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: My coaches have always told the team to be strong-minded. If you have a strong mind then you can perform at a high level even when you may be tired. This mindset has driven me through the past few years and has helped me both on and off the field.

Q: What have you learned during this unique time in 2020? What did you focus on or accomplish during Quarantine?
A: I have learned to always stay ready. In these times of uncertainty there’s a lot of possibilities on how the future will go. I’ve been working hard the past couple months to be ready whenever they let us gear up. I also suffered a torn labrum back in November which I have now fully recovered from, and my lifting numbers now exceed what they were at before the surgery.

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: I plan on studying kinesiology or exercise science in college. My goal is to one day become a physical therapist.

Q: What would your current teammates say about you and your qualities?
A: My teammates would say I am very motivated, and always lead by example. I am not always the loudest, but I still lead on and off the field.

Q: What has been one of the most memorable plays of your career so far?
A: My most memorable play of my career is scoring a 79 yard rushing touchdown while my shoulder was torn.

Q: What has been your biggest challenge and how do you manage it?
A: My biggest challenge has been staying healthy, as I have had a few minor injuries over the years. I took this off time to really focus on stretching and recovery. I plan on continuing this into the season to be able to compete at a high level deep into the playoffs.

Q: If you could compare yourself to a collegiate or pro athlete, who would that be and why?
A: I would compare myself to Matt Breida. I think we both do a good job in the screen/passing game. He also has great breakaway speed which I think is a trait I have as well. We aren’t the biggest backs, but still run hard and can make plays.

Q: What is your biggest strength and why should college coaches & scouts consider you?
A: My drive is my biggest strength. No matter what I’m doing I will push myself and complete the task to the best of my ability. I never give up, and will always fight through adversity.

Q: Are you involved in mentoring, a charity or do you “give back”/”pay it forward” in your community?
A: Each Thanksgiving, I help in preparing meal boxes for families, containing all the necessities for a good Thanksgiving meal. We then pack the boxes into various cars, which are then brought to schools where they are given to those who need them.

Q: How are you preparing for the 2020 High School National Scouting Combine and what are your goals for the combine?
A: I have been preparing by working many different skills over the past few weeks. I have gotten my speed up, as well as my agility. My goals for the combine is to turn some heads and perform at the highest level I can.

Q: What would be your ultimate achievement? 
A: My ultimate achievement would be to leave a lasting impact on my school, team, and community. I hope years down the road I can serve as a role model to those who need, and drive them to be the best person they can.

Q: What do you enjoy doing when not playing football? Do you play other sports? 
A: I enjoy being active. Whether that’s lifting, running, or anything outdoors, I typically enjoy it. I have also run track for three years, which I have also greatly enjoyed.

Q: Who is or has been the most influential person in your life? 
A: My dad has been the most influential person in my life. He is very successful, and I look up to him very much. He pushes me to be the best man I can be, and is supportive in whatever I do.

Q: What is something unique about you that people would find interesting?
A: Some unique things about me are that I am left-handed and I have four siblings.

“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!”

“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

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.
