Newcombe is another one of the more slept on prospects in the 2027 class given his size, athleticism, and multi-dimensional skillset. 6’0” 215 lbs. he possesses a well-built frame for a college level LB with the athleticism to match. He’s an aggressive defender that plays downhill and physical to disrupt opposing offenses. Quick to read and react to his keys, he’s able to anticipate play location and get to the spot before it can develop. In combination with his playing strength, he demonstrates good athleticism and short area speed on both sides of the ball. Holds offers from NAU and Fort Lewis to date but who ever lands him is getting a steal.

Long overdue first offer from Northern Arizona for the two-way playmaker out of Dobson. 6’0” 215 lbs. he can take over and dominate a game at both LB and RB. Constantly attacking and playing downhill he’s fast, physical, and instinctual. At LB, he’s quick to process his reads and trigger to the ball showing he can aggressively fill gaps, scrape laterally to play down the line, and has the speed to work sideline to sideline. He’s got a great nose for the football and is violent at the contact point. Demonstrates natural ball carrier instincts at RB with good burst, short area quickness, and the power to run through tacklers. Finished the 2025 season with 56 tackles in addition to his 1,260 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns. Easily recruitable on both sides of the ball, expect a boost in recruitment going forward.

High upside prospect that can play both sides of the ball at ILB and RB. 5’11” 215 lbs. he’s got a strong compact frame with the ability to add weight. Attacks contact with good leverage and power through the POA. Fights through blockers with the ability to stop and stack while maintaining his gap assignment. Tough to break once he gets his hands on the ball carrier doing a good job wrapping up and being reliable in the open field. Good ability to drop back into coverage, find his threat, and then react to the ball in the air. Very effective blocking from the H back position. Strong bloodlines and is one to watch as he develops.
