Continue ReadingIMG Academy, a prep boarding school in Bradenton, was originally founded in in 1978 as a tennis academy before sports company IMG bought the facility in 1987. Since then, the school has added golf, soccer, baseball, hockey (has since been cut), basketball, lacrosse, track, and cross country, with football added to the fray in 2010 and the facility growing and expanding to 600 acres. The football team in particular has developed into a national powerhouse, with five straight years in the national top-10 rankings and a decorated list of alumni throughout the college and professional ranks. On Sunday, PrepRedzoneFL hosted our second consecutive winter showcase on the grounds of IMG Academy, and just like the school itself, the PRzFL Showcase was a hotbed for talent and top-tier athletes only the state of Florida can produce. Our opening portion of the event features a testing circuit in a modified combine setting, and the prospects show of their speed, quickness, and explosiveness in the 40, short-shuttle, L-drill, and broad jump. Now, PRzFL is here to give you the inside scoop of the best-of-the-best and most athletic recruits who showed up and showed out on Sunday, and boy, there were some eye-popping numbers. Find out who was named to the PRzFL Showcase All-Combine Team right here and right here only.
