Roger Silva May 11, 2025 @ 05:35 PM

The 2025 PRZ New England Region Combine Series took place on May 10, 2025, featuring many promising emerging athletes who demonstrated their abilities to college programs in attendance and coaches overseeing the drills. After checking in, participants were required to have professional headshots taken for identification and record their height, weight, hand size, and wingspan. The showcase was divided into three segments: testing, position-specific drills, and one-on-one competitions. The testing phase included the 40-yard dash (hand-timed), pro shuttle (hand-timed), L Drill (hand-timed), and broad jump. The event proceeded smoothly and adhered closely to the scheduled timeline. Overall, attendees, parents, and coaching staff found the event a great success. Several college coaches evaluating the talent present expressed their admiration for the high level of skill demonstrated.
In this report, I will identify the top performers selected by their respective position group coaches, along with the names of each coach who instructed the different groups during the event.
