Elite Middle School Combine: 5th & 6th Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gabe Griffin, 2031 RB Incarnate Word</strong><br>- The clear top performing player amongst the 6th graders was the dynamic Griffin who was tops in the 40, pro agility, broad jump and vertical. His sub-5.0 laser forty and 24" vertical was impressive for any middle school player much less in the 6th grade. He also displayed superior skills in RB drills and one on ones. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1855158' first='James' last='King'], 2031 QB Lindbergh</strong><br>- One of the top young QB prospects in his class in the Midwest. King has some advanced skills and technique for his age and really did a great job spinning it on the day and delivering the ball to the young receivers in attendance. A name to remember over the next 6 years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Justin Dulick, 2031 WR Ladue</strong><br>- Another impressive 6th grader who stood out with his receiving skills. Dulick showed good speed and quickness and good hands in one on ones. He also tested well and looked the part in receiver drills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cohen Banderman, 2032 WR Blevins </strong><br>- Much like Griffin in the 6th grade, Banderman was a clear top 5th grader I watched on the day. A smooth athlete for his age already, he tested well, including with his pro agility and vertical jump. He was also a standout in the receiving drills and showing his pass catching and route running ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Knox Nenninger, 2032 WR MQP</strong><br>- Nenninger is another 5th grader who deserves mention with his energy and performance at the combine. Knox is a nice young receiver and really competed hard on the day. He also showed good athleticism and a lot of promise for the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
