Each year hundreds of athletes, primarily from Missouri and Kansas flock to this combine series. They’ll be in Kansas City, Mo. (4/27), St. Charles, Mo. (5/4) and Prairie Village, Ks. (5/11). Here’s a look at some of the 8th grade (class of 2028) talents that are scheduled to be at the KC Varsity Combine in Kansas City this weekend.
Linemen
Tristin Chatmon Tristin Chatmon 5'9" | 220 lbs | DL Ray-Pec | 2028 MO | Ray-Pec (Mo.) – Strong interior Defensive Tackle, built like a fire hydrant that can stop the run and get after the passer. Was named Ray-Pec East’s Defensive Lineman of the Year.
Drake Franke Drake Franke 6'0" | 255 lbs | OL Liberty North | 2028 MO | Liberty North (Mo.) – Should be one of the better 2028 offensive linemen that come through the KC Varsity Combines this spring. Has a mean streak, good strength and the agility to pull.
Zyler Snapp Zyler Snapp 6'2" | 180 lbs | OL Savannah | 2028 MO | Savannah (Mo.) – A multi-sport athlete with a frame that suggests there’s a lot left to pull out of him. Really impressive hips for a bigger kid. The younger brother of a college-bound Wide Receiver, there are athletic genes to work with. How his body develops will determine if he ends up playing OL, DL or TE.
Skill Positions
Dane Burns Dane Burns 5'11" | 150 lbs | WR Ray-Pec | 2028 MO | Ray-Pec (Mo.) – A good-looking Wide Receiver/Free Safety type of athlete with excellent ball skills. Best asset is his speed–he can absolutely fly in open field. Claims a 4.83 forty and a 4.4 in the 5-10-5.
Edric Zorn Edric Zorn 5'11" | 180 lbs | RB Halstead | 2028 KS | Halstead (KS) – Running Back with a good combination of speed and power for this level. Spends obvious time working on his body and is already running a verified 4.88 (hand) in the forty.
Levi Schrader Levi Schrader WR Liberty | 2028 MO | Liberty (Mo.) – A smaller Wide Receiver/Defensive Back prospect, that plays much bigger than his size would indicate. Flashes reliable hands and a nose for the end zone.
Emanuel Eliseo Emanuel Eliseo 6'0" | 160 lbs | WR Liberty | 2028 MO | Liberty (Mo.) – A raw Wide Receiver with a huge upside, in my opinion. Haven’t ever seen him play in person, but the improvements in route running, functional movements, getting in and out breaks, etc. on the clips he posts on social media have been plentiful.
Bennett Terwilleger Bennett Terwilleger 5'9" | 150 lbs | ATH Park Hill South | 2028 MO | Park Hill South (Mo.) – Versatile prospect who primarily plays Wide Receiver on the offensive side of the ball, in addition to Outside Linebacker on defense. Also can play Safety in the box too.
Jordan Wright Jordan Wright WR Raytown South | 2028 MO | Raytown South (Mo.) – A big play Wide Receiver that can go up and get the ball with the best in the mid-west. Really long arms and a good vertical help him win a lot 50/50 balls. Once he gets working in a weight room, he should become even more dangerous.
Titus Grayson Titus Grayson 5'9" | 155 lbs | WR Staley | 2028 MO | Staley (Mo.) – Another long Wide Receiver/Defensive Back type of prospect with impressive movement on film. Both staight line speed and horizontal quickness are advanced at this point. Need to see more football film to get a better read on him, but he’s got wheeels.
