Rock Bridge
– 5’9″ 171 Testing results: 4.72 40 – 4.15 pro agility – 10’3″ broad jump – 38″ vertical jump
One of the top overall athletes of the combine with the top vertical jump and second best broad jump. Donivan also displayed good speed, agility, quickness and power. He has good hips and can turn and run with anyone. He showed good cover and ball skills in his pass defense. In game situations he has shown me good physical play both against the run and pass. Look for him to see more action on offense along with at cornerback.

Jackson
– 6’1″ 187 Testing results: 4.69 40 – 4.09 pro agility – 8’10” broad jump – 28″ vertical jump
One of the best defensive backs I have watched the past couple of season who is under the radar given his potential. Alspaugh backed up his play on the field with a strong showing in testing. He has good size to go with his speed and quickness. He has good change of direction ability and closing speed, and did well in one on ones covering some talented opponents. Gavin also has good hands and ball skills, and is a physical safety prospect. A real competitor who is tough and can cover a lot of ground in pass defense and is tough against the run on the field. Will be productive on the next level.

Terry is a speedy DB who is a returnee to the Elite combine and continues to keep getting better both testing and in one on one competition. He showed good speed and the ability to hang with some of the top receivers at the combine in coverage, coming away as one of the top defensive players overall on the day. Justin also had a strong junior season recording 34 tackles as a junior. He plays the run equally as well as in pass defense.

– 5’9″ 177 Testing results: 4.78 40 – 4.63 pro agility – 8’10” broad jump – 27″ vertical jump
A versatile football player and athlete who contributes on both sides of the ball on the field. Even though I saw how productive he was in game action last season, he surprised me with his combine performance in testing, drills and in one on one action. Isaiah is an intense competitor who showed up at in every drill and one on one.
Had 74 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries and 1 interception on defense as a junior.
