We will be taking a look at some the top performers at the event divided by class year, positions and home state, and listed alphabetically. For more Combine coverage, please check out the links at the bottom of the page.
Kenyon Collins Kenyon Collins 5'9" | 230 lbs | RB Hickman | 2025 State MO , Hickman
Listed at a running back and linebacker, Collins measured in at 5-feet-9 and 231 pounds — yes, 5-9 and 231 pounds — and turned in a nice all-around performance for his size and his age.
Collins ran the 40 in 4.97 seconds and recorded a pro-agility time of 5.06 seconds. He threw the powerball 42 feet, which speaks to his strength, but also recorded a broad jump of 8 feet 6 inches and a vertical leap of 26 inches.
Collins’ freshman film shows him being strong and physical on both sides of the ball but also shows he has the ability to break longer runs as well. He looks like he is going to be a problem for Hickman opponents for the next three seasons.
Aydin Sezen Aydin Sezen 5'8" | 150 lbs | RB Francis Howell | 2025 State MO , Francis Howell
After measuring in at 5-7 1/2 and 148 pounds, Sezen showed he was one of the quickest and more athletic 2025 prospects at the Combine. He recorded a pro-agility time of 4 seconds and a 40 time of 4.79 seconds. He had a broad jump of 9 feet and a vertical leap of 31 inches and threw the powerball 33 feet.
Sezen’s freshman year highlights show how quick and elusive he is, which were backed up by his pro-agility and 40 times at the Combine. He looks like he’s going to be a problem in the next few years while playing for one of the better programs in the St. Louis area.
Donivan Taylor Donivan Taylor 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Rock Bridge | 2025 State MO , Hickman
After measuring in at 5-8 1/2 and 160 pounds, Taylor showed off his athleticism with a strong all-around performance.
He recorded one of the better vertical leaps on the day at 33 inches and had a broad jump of 9-4. He recorded a pro-agility time of 4.25 seconds and a 40 of 4.72.
Taylor recently tweeted that he won his conference long jump with a distance of 21 feet.
