<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week's St. Louis Metro Football Coaches Association Showcase drew some talented athletes who put their all into testing and competing. Here is a look at the top broad jumps from the event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1287040' first='Coleman' last='Murchison'] I WR I 2027 I St. Dominic I<br>6'1" 185 - 10'5" Broad Jump <br>- The top overall athlete at the showcase testing in every event. His speed, power and explosiveness showed with his jumping ability. Those things translate to the football field where he averaged 24 yards per catch for almost 800 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior. Colleges have taken notice and making contact with him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jorden Henry</strong> I ATH I 2027 I Kirkwood I<br>5'7" 152 - 10'2" Broad Jump<br>- A talented cornerback and receiver prospect who made the most of his abilities at defensive back and utilizing his speed and explosive athletic ability to run with and cover receivers in defense. As a junior he contributed on offense with almost 200 yards receiving, but did the most on the defensive side of the ball recording 29 tackles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1188370' first='Nathan' last='Howard'] I DB I 2027 I Ft. Zumwalt North I<br>6'0" 190 - 10'0" Broad Jump<br>- One of the top returning defensive back prospects in the St. Louis area was at the event, and showed why he has picked up a handful of college offers this spring with both his showcase testing numbers, and his play on the field in one on ones. As a junior he recorded 91 tackles and 9 pass break ups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1923610' first='Alex' last='Graham']</strong> I DB I 2027 I North Point I <br>6'1" 174 - 9'10" Broad Jump<br>- This rising sleeper has had a very good spring and is using events like the showcase to put his athleticism and talents on display. Not only did he test well, but his performance in one on ones earned him a college offer from Missouri Baptist. He recorded 82 tackles and 2 interceptions as a junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1743320' first='Landon' last='Dare'] I QB I 2029 I St. Dominic I <br>6'2" 165 - 9'9" Broad Jump <br>- A quarterback talent on the rise that looks poised for a breakout season as a sophomore. He had to sit behind a three year started who signed with a college team last year, but he looked ready with his throws at the showcase, spinning the ball with good accuracy and velocity, while displaying his superior athletic ability. His nine feet, nine inches was not only top five overall, but top freshman broad jump at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
