ALL-AMERICAN BOWL PRESIDENT

The Off-Season is a time to do one thing, GET BETTER! Most athletes I see go about the off-season in a counter productive way; and they either stay the same, or digress. Some guys hammer weights all off-season and forget that body builders can't, and never will, play football. Some guys forget to do any strength training and are frail and brittle, but they run a 4.3! Some players never brush up on their technique/football skills and never seek to learn new methods, because their way is proven and that's the way it is. I have simply learned from integrating a variety of training techniques that there is no limit to our growth, unless we want there to be.  There is simply just to much out there in our world that we can use to master the things we desire, as athlete's and for fitness. My path to losing 50-60 pounds in a year and attaining serious athletic prowess was not a simple feat, by any means. I realized thou after it was all said and done, that this is the way to train to be a complete athlete and to achieve maximum results. 

You can set up as many speed ladders as you want, I have never seen a guy signed off of one of these drills. I believe in attacking every muscle fiber in the body, with the intent on making that fiber fire rapidly. Switching it up every day and developing all of your support muscles, is key to to getting your larger muscles to function at a high level. So what kind of exercises do we do? I am currently running around a 4.4, 40 yard dash. I am not bragging because I know you can too. Actually, you will probably be faster if you use these methods that I extremely value. I start off by doing some type of running everyday, up at 6,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains. I chase my Wolf Dog as she chases bunnies and work on avoiding trees, bushes and other obstacles the environment can beautifully create. We then go to the Football field and I get my kicking in for the day. Then I hit the weight room for about a hour a day. When the weather permits, swimming against the Poudre River will give you the most intense overall body workout ever. Integrating high reps in the weight room with every muscle group, running 4-5 miles a day in the Rockies and kicking for a hour a day, has given me the ability to do things I never thought were possible at 30 years of age. 

The benefits of cross-training are evident on a football players skill set and overall athleticism. Football is a sport that has many different types of athletes and has many layers on how to achieve greatness. Using simple brain synapse training, has not only made me much more agile, but has made my body ready for any action that comes my way. Having a different course through nature everyday has made that reaction to the action quick and precise. Through all of the brain firing activity, I also was pounding out reps of 12-20 of every lift imaginable, but never decompressing any part of my body ( Like Back Squats). I am now throwing up easily the best numbers of my life and I am the lightest I have been since High School. Did this all happen overnight? No, it took countless uphill runs and three sessions a day of multiple activities to get where I needed to be.  Honestly speaking, if I did not lose the 50 pounds, I do not think I would still be playing the game of football. I now feel like I am ready to compete at a extremely high level for a NFL Football job and win that job. I also feel like staying with this regiment will allow me 10-12 years kicking in the NFL. 

There are a million different ways to train out there and every current athlete, ex- athlete, Coach and Former coach is pushing different 'gimmicks' that you can purchase. I would like to reiterate the great Ray Lewis as "There are no shortcuts to success". Or the great Ashton Kutcher, when he said that "Success looks a lot like hard work". See, everyone knows that running uphill is harder and will get you better, but I rarely see anyone doing it. Most athletes know that lower weight and high reps actually BUILDS muscle, but most guys wanna throw on as much weight as they can to pump out 1 rep. Everywhere you look players are trying to take the short cut to achieve greatness and not putting in the actual hours to make it happen. I have seen many athletes do something amazing once or a few times, but that is not the player most teams are looking for these days. See, there is a guy out there who can do what your friends thought was amazing everyday and already has a offer. He hasn't dropped a ball since he was 2 years old and he simply just worked harder. So how do you pass them up? You retrain your brain to fire at a remarkably high level and refocus your efforts while finding your why? Your heart, mind, body and spirit these days have to be fully dedicated to getting better, while dealing with severe worldly obstacles. If you find yourself winning on a daily basis, you must keep grinding because it is very easy to start losing again. Even if you do not make it in athletics, this will help you build a extremely good work ethic that is hard to beat in any area of life. 

At Scout Trout we have very in-depth plans for each athlete, that will maximize their individual output in overall athleticism. Each athlete needs to develop a plan to hone their strength's and eliminate their weaknesses. Most young athletes are still using old and unproductive training methods that do not translate to the football field. We have shaved 2-3 tenth's of a second of most athletes 40 times, simply by showing them the proper starting positioning. Imagine if you adapted to the training methods as well? If you would like more information on our program, or want individual training either in person or virtually, please contact merfdigg@aol.com. 

I would like to start out by saying thank you to all my Class of 2017 Athlete's and for those who are still unsigned, it is not over yet. I calculated all of our Class of 2017 athlete's offers, whether it be NAIA or D1, a offer is a offer. My main goal when I set out was to give my athlete's in smaller markets a chance. After completing this first year of the program, I believe this program actually can now be used as a measurement to where players actually need to go. I have realized my Class of 2018 and Class of 2019 have gotten way more attention than the same caliber player that I had for 2017. There is one simple fact for this and that is most big time school's were already full back in August, before your season even began. So to crack you onto a College FBS recruiting board was nearly impossible. The main observation thou is we had 45-67 players offered something to play College Football, some more than others, but we had 19 players either not take the ACT/SAT at all and/or just showed up to the test, without actually giving a crap. So if you do the math, there was 22 players left over without offers and 19 did not test or had a terrible score. To all my Class of 2018 and beyond, please schedule your test a few times, now. Why do college programs put so much stock in these tests? Well, because it's College and you are there to receive a education. If you cannot receive this education and will struggle to graduate, they simply move onto the next prospect, its just that simple. See the NCAA is also tracking these stats, as you can see in the button I provided below. I used Youngstown State's Grad rate as a example, but you can simply go back and search any NCAA institution in the country. If your graduation rate slips to a unacceptable level, your school will lose scholarships in the future. This is also why the NCAA changed the core GPA requirements and stiffened up eligibility rules. 

There are 128 FBS schools, 125 FCS Schools, 171 D2 School's, 87 NAIA School's and 126 JUCO Programs in the USA. I did not count the 247 D3 school's that do not offer athletic scholarships. These school's do however offer academic money to the players they want, yea it's unfair to the academic all-star, but hey, maybe you should have picked up a ball. The rotation pretty much goes as follows: 
FBS - Be targeted anywhere from your freshmen season to by at least mid-season Junior YR. If your not on the boards early, do not expect to ever really get on them. 
FCS - At Least by End of Junior Year. This is more open then FBS thou. 
D2 - Start of Senior Year - Mid SR Year. (Local school's will be first in line) 
NAIA/JUCO - These guys are stocking up early and signing guys all the way until June. A lot of these places are just as good as a FCS/D2 program and farm players to FBS like crazy. 

Now as you can see in the NCAA chart I posted a link to above, your suppose to start this process your FRESHMEN year. The guys that are starting early are getting recruited early! This is a fact that some simply do not grasp and think that there play will speak for itself. I also was told by many at a young age that if you are good enough they will find you! Well with millions of High School ball players out there, this simply just is not factual. If you stand out in Texas, GA, FL or CA, than possibly you will get seen, but it still not a guarantee. The game of football from the top to bottom has become about who can see you and not particular to rooting out the guys who can actually play the game at a extremely high level. Why? Because the game is simply about capitalizing off of a hysterical crowd, who swears by their allegiance to a university and a logo. Just like I have been told by NFL execs, that they could place anyone in that jersey and fans would still pay to watch their favorite team play. It's that simple, College Football has become a big money industry and there really is not a need to truly scout anymore. The numbers have become to big and the parity is very real across the board. But this is why we created this program, because if you want it bad enough, there are still many hidden path's that most do not want you to find.     

What happens to us when we are under excessive stress?"When we experience excessive stress—whether from internal worry or external circumstance—a bodily reaction is triggered, called the "fight or flight" response. Originally discovered by the great Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon, this response is hard-wired into our brains and represents a genetic wisdom designed to protect us from bodily harm. This response actually corresponds to an area of our brain called the hypothalamus, which—when stimulated—initiates a sequence of nerve cell firing and chemical release that prepares our body for running or fighting."

I have seen this mechanism in our brains work wonders when it comes to achieving our max potential. I have also seen it destroy many athlete's who decided fleeing was the best option. This part of our brain we must wire to ALWAYS FIGHT, because fleeing will get us no where in today's game and even our world. There is no substitute for having the ability to be tortured mentally, physically, emotionally and being able to switch to fight mode. They want you to flee and give up on your dreams, because like I said before, it eliminates the weak. So my question today is, are you going to flee or fight?   
I have linked some great programs below and have many more who have sent me information on signings from this years class. The choice is ultimately yours, I am just presenting you with a variety of different paths to achieve your goals.

Cullen Shawley is a big young man at 6'1, 235LBS and likes to finish off his pancakes with extra syrup. He is a very strong young man with impressive numbers in the weight room. On the first play of his highlight's, Cullen is able to finish off the defender and you can see his stellar lower body strength. He shows very good footwork in his pass blocking sets and is a very aggressive player on the interior line. On the 3rd play, Cullen shows great technique and gets off the ball quick after the snap, to be able to completely annihilate his man. Cullen shows very good athleticism for an interior linemen this young and should jump onto a lot of college football programs' radars going into his Junior season. At 1:36, Cullen shows very good speed getting downfield on punt team and making the tackle. Cullen continues to play with intensity on the interior line for the rest of his film and finishes his blocks. I really like his technique for such a young age and his ability to keep his feet moving, to use his great lower body strength to finish off blocks. Thank you for joining the Scout Trout Pipeline Program and I look forward to watching you play your Junior and Senior seasons!

Our combine period was extremely productive and our prospects produced very solid numbers across the board. We had 5 prospects for the Class of 2017 and 2 from the Class of 2018. Here are there numbers along with their youtube videos. 

After each prospects' combine activities, you can see each athlete's highlight's from the football drills. All athletes performed at a high level and made the sessions really easy with there coach-ability. I was highly impressed with all athletes and some things stood out to me. Jose Tovar throws a great deep ball and Tommy Hochheimer commented on how he was leading him perfectly. Tommy possesses 4.4 speed and has a FCS D1 offer on the table from Wagner. Tommy really impressed me with his route running and play making as a slot receiver. Davontae Daniels provided explosive plays and is able to really go up and get the ball on back shoulder throws. He runs excellent routes and is really adept as a defensive back. He was a defensive linemen and a receiver here in Colorado. I see him playing either side of the ball at the next level, but I really like him as a receiver. Mystikal Randle and Edward Lyons went at it all day and really competed at a high level. I really like both of these guys as similar ball players at the next level. I really like Lyons on the defensive side of the ball when watching his film, and now, after seeing his coverage skills, he will make a fine outside linebacker. Mystikal Randle is super athletic as you can see in our combine, and made a ton of plays as a fullback. He also will fit as a linebacker and/or a fullback. Our two class of 2018 athletes really did well and showed they belonged. Lavarious is a stout linebacker who also has great coverage skills. He made an amazing interception in the end zone to prevent a touchdown. He is primed to have a big season this year at North East HS. Apodaca has the skills and agility to be a very good cover corner, and showed he could hold his own against some of the top athletes in the state. He has a willingness to learn and a great attitude, he also will be a having a big senior season. I want to thank you guys again for coming out and putting in the work to succeed at the next level. I look to working with you guys more and helping you find a place to play football.

We ALL want to go to the next level, right? Well, there are certain measures and tactics that need to be taken to get there. After studying some of the greats of the game methods, I realized, why not us? This is an approach that many still have not fully understood, but those who do, you get to see hoisting trophies year in and year out. So, if we as players can adapt and learn from these methods, why can't we be great? The first step of the process is the combine portion at our camps, and you can see the numbers that were produced by the fine athlete's of the Southeast and Texas. I watched a young man drop his 40 time down from a 5.2 to a 4.65! He was able to learn the proper starting technique and really drop his time. The Shuttle, Broad Jump and L-Drill will be included in this combine as well. Each athlete will get 2 attempts and a quick critique after the first attempt, to help strengthen his numbers. After each athlete completes all of these drills, we will break into offensive and defensive groups. The next session will be used to get you ready for the 7 on 7 drills, and we will show you what we are looking for in next level players. 

It is vital that the athlete understands the game of football once they get to the next level. In the next portion, we will be working on the route tree and different concepts we will be running with the offense.  The Quarterbacks will be learning how to manipulate a defense and how to work through a progression. The Wide Receivers will be learning different variations of college option routes and concepts that work for 7 on 7 methods. The Running Backs will be heavily involved in the passing game, and will be expected to perform blitz pick ups from our linebackers. Many route combinations will be deployed, and we are looking for players that can read and react to different scenarios. Linemen will be working with Coach Lysinger, a very smart interior linemen, who I played with in College. He will be explaining various blocking schemes and techniques and putting you through various linemen drills. I have not spoken to any Kickers or Punters about the camp yet, but we will have a special teams period that I like to participate in. We have the field until 8:30 PM, so we do not have to rush through this event. We are looking for "Quality, not Quantity", as the greats all say in the game. Most of the athletes in the pipeline program are attending, and many from across the state have contacted me. I am excited to meet all the players I currently work with in the area. The next period will be 7 on 7. 

We will be running 7 on 7 and I will be working with both sides of the ball, but mainly drawing up plays on the white board for the offense. Coach Lysinger will be running the defense and giving the DB/LB's different coverage combinations, such as man, cover 2, cover 3 and many other combinations to combat our offense. . We will have multiple devices filming each position group. I expect the QB's to avoid pressure and get through their progression, there is nothing wrong with hitting the check down route or throwing the ball away. Below is a example from our Mobile camp of a progression, with a option route. Linebackers will be working to there zone coverage and watching for the occasional draw play that we will sneak incorporate. You will learn everything we are looking for in the College Concepts learning period. We are also going to let you play and show off all of your skill sets for the College Coaches. Most importantly all of your highlights and film will be sent to every school in america that offers football scholarships. We will work with you to find a home at any level possible. We have athletes with D1 offers in our database and we have had guys sign with D2/NAIA/JUCO schools. 

Once we are all finished with the activities, which if we have time we will incorporate a special teams period for return men. If we have any kickers/punters show up I will work personally with them. After we are finished with all football activities if there are any questions about recruiting or the Scout Trout program we can discuss them. I will also go over each class and how the process works. The crucial things that need to be accomplished off the field, like the NCAA Clearinghouse, FAFSA Report, ACT/SAT and some other important factors. Exposure is a must, and that is what we provide. We have had millions of views since Thanksgiving on Scout Videos alone. We strive to produce results and to give the college football programs well rounded student-athletes who they can count on in any situation. It is supposed to be a very nice day tomorrow and I am excited to get to work with you guys at Loveland Sports Complex, in Loveland, Colorado! Thank you for those who have already enrolled and those who are coming! We are looking forward to a fun, yet productive, event!

Let me start of by saying I am not a believer in today's scouting systems used to evaluate talent on a prospect, on a national landscape. Once I saw some partnerships form offering ridiculous free camps, only to get asked to visit the NCSA tent after you were done to learn how to maximize your numbers.  Why not maximize those numbers for free with what college coaches really want? That is what I encourage all my athletes here, at Scout Trout, to do; FORM A RELATIONSHIP with that college coach! How do we do this? Well, you start off by emailing the coach of the school you want to go to your information and film. Most of those emails can be found on the school's website under staff directory. I literally found over 600 school's coaches, recruiting departments and other staff members in about a month, after my last concussion playing arena ball. I than began helping kids nationally who needed assistance at all levels of college football. I also found most of the college coaches on Facebook and added them to my group page, to be able to share instant film for prospects. Literally, all of this you can do on your own, if you have the time. I guess the only question is can you use a computer well enough to do all of these things? Also, how bad do you wanna learn? Also, are you confident enough in your abilities to cast your net out to over 600 football programs that offer scholarships? I know I was and that is why I overcame a lot of adversity in my career. This is why I lasted over 9 years now in the brutal indoor game. Anyways let's get down to the nuts and bolts of this years recruiting class!

That fact of the matter is college football is about money, and wins keep that money flowing. The exact specifications to be a D1 recruit are many because there are many different philosophies and mindsets at the next level. That is what makes the game so intriguing to me, and partly why I love college football. You have to first create separation at a young age. For example, class of 2019 DT, Lloyd Murray, dominated on the field this year at Hirschi HS, and has already been offered by two D1 programs, while also being targeted by the elite of college football. I got rated after my sophomore season as well, after nailing some long field goals in very bad conditions, and woke up Rivals.com #2 kicker in the nation. The point being, if your not being talked about these days early on in your high school career, it is very hard to gain that D1 exposure. Why is this? Why can't be you be a late bloomer like some guys end up being at the pro level? Well, the numbers just simply are against you, unless you live in Texas, Florida, California or Georgia. When you click on the button below, you may see how top heavy the recruiting really is. If you tally up those 4 states alone,you have 1341 signings, compared to 1,685 for the rest of the entire USA. So, according to these figures, nearly half of our nations college football players come from these four great football states. 

I grew up in New Jersey which only had 58 recruits this year sign, according to maxpreps. Guess what? I was a guy who was a highly rated recruit that did not sign, and clearly on the field of play should have. I had a terrible weighted GPA and could not get D1 eligible, after called by the great Urban Meyer after he departed Utah for Florida. I was set on the Gators, so I attended prep school at Hargrave Military Academy in VA.  In the end, I ended being in a FCS program (CCSU), a D2 program (Catawba) and a NAIA program (Graceland). I got the privilege to play safety, kicker, punter, linebacker, punter and kicker. I learned throughout, seeing many national signing days come and go, that it is never over, unless you decide it is. I had one major obstacle after another, but I wanted to keep pursuing my dreams, and found a way. Playing in the arena leagues ever since, I have now learned there is much more to life than football. Starting your life out with any help at all for college is a gift and should not be taken lightly. Being able to chase a ball around and have your education paid for and absorbing as much as you can should be you main goal. I would like to note, most of the guys without a test score or a very poor test score, have not signed yet in our Scout Trout database. Myth #1 about signing day really comes down to the hype, all the well known and guys with the most stars signed on February 1st. Now is the time for the Malcolm Butler's of the world to strap up and find a school to play football at. I have been emailed countless opportunities and workouts still for the  Class of 2017 prospects! Last year I had a TON of mail for two prospects I located very late in the process in August! The choice is ultimately always yours and you must form your own opinions about your life, but note the various obstacles  If your mind is set of making it to the NFL, I would suggest going the JUCO/Prep School route and developing into a D1 prospect. If your goal is to play football and get a education, then there are over 500 other school's that will let you live out your dream. Who knows? You might find your way into the NFL anyway! Nothing beats hard work, dedication and simple mathematics/connections these days. I also listed a list of D2 players that were currently on NFL rosters, including West Alabama's and Super Bowl Hero Malcolm Butler! You will also find many other names on this list like Vincent Jackson (Northern Colorado), Brent Grimes (Shippensburg), Danny Woodhead (Chadron State), Marquette King (Fort Valley State), Jacoby Jones (Lane) and many other household names.  

Football (Regular Period)February 1, 2017-April 1, 2017 - Notice the signing period lasts until April. 

While I recommend starting one place and finishing, this isn't always in the best interest of the athlete and you must move. If you have college film from any level it will be much more effective at getting you a scholarship to the institutions you wish. Also, completing all of the required credits that the NCAA requires is a must. If you are enrolled in a NCAA D2 or D3 school thou, you must spend one year of residency at the school before playing sports if transferring up. If you transfer down, these rules do not apply. That is why I recommend guys set on going division one to either go JUCO/NAIA or accept the preferred walk-on and work for a full-ride. College coaches love guys who did well at the Juco level and developed into great football players, because they got college level coaching and are more prepared then a high school athlete. These are just legitimate facts that some people do not want to correlate with and want to automatically thrown into the lions den when they are clearly not ready. They have a ton of football skills, but could be undersized. Well, a year of JUCO puts that extra 25-30 lbs on needed and all of the sudden you are a star at your university.  What I am saying is these options all exist and honestly I believe this system is designed to weed out the WEAK! It is designed to weed out those who truly are about nothing else than "BEING RECRUITED". College Football coaches want guys who will give their all on and off the field and make there program stand out! Plain and simple, NOTHING IS ABOUT YOU! 

There are many routes to where you want to go and sometime the road less traveled is not the most appealing option, but in the end, can be the most rewarding. Our job as older athletes is to spread the knowledge of the daily grind to you guys. I see guys give up daily and it hurts when I see so much talent that is yet to be unlocked. Some guys have everything going for them on the field, but the classroom is really keeping them from attaining their true goals. I see guys that clearly went overlooked for whatever reason you want to make up; there could be many, but to speculate at this point is useless. Now we use all of the resources we have and make whatever reality you want, but we must use the proper channels and work ethic that got us to the point you are at now. Dig deep and find that desire that made you love the game of football and go find another level. It can only be attained through mental fortitude in this game of vicious animals and you must develop the mind set of a hunter. If you sit around and wait for whatever reality you want to happen, it will pass you by because there is a relentless hunter out there who took whats yours. Now go HUNT, I know I am.

Our winning attitude is not something that is new as some of us are still legends on the turf! I promise to exhaust all options and find your Student-Athlete a home. Our program lets you know exactly where you fall! I have seen too many guys going missed on these now "Mega" recruiting sites, who are just after making money. I am on some of them, and top players in their respective states have 2 views on their profiles. Our profiles now each have over 1,500 views respectively, and they will continue to climb. No other company is delivering your information as quickly and as successfully as we have, and I want to extend this opportunity to all. Also keep in mind we take donations on our donations page. Here is how that works: 
1. First payment 20 dollars - Gets your info sent our to every school in America. 99 % of athletes got mail if they had a ACT/SAT score. 
2. 2nd payment 20 Dollars - Gets your profile up on the web site. 
3. 3rd payment 20 Dollars - Gets your Scouting report done and social media plunge.
4. 4th payment 20 dollars - Gets you access to combine training/position technique drills.
5. 5th payment 10-20 Dollars - You paid off the Valentines day special and will get a mini camp voucher for your area. 
This is a example on how you would make payment's on the Valentine's Day special, which will end tomorrow. I am going to link the buttons below. I know money is tight for many, including myself, and I want to make sure we all get where we need to go. I have a rather large event for the NFL (29 Teams) on March 6th in Phoenix Arizona and your help is greatly appreciated if you feel like donating. Trust me, not one person ever has donated towards my dreams or career, not even my own family. I have never needed help, but always made sure I took care of those who are close to me. A few big months coming up for us all and I greatly appreciate everyone and their respective goals. Do not give up hope and keep pushing towards your own reality.

Davontae Daniels is a very quick and athletic defensive player who has a high motor. On the first play of his D'Evelyn highlight's, Daniels eludes two defenders using speed and agility to find his way to the quarterback. On the very next play, he simply blows past the offensive player and creates pressure on the QB, which causes a interception. Davontae also shows great instincts in the run game, where he is seen on the third play beating the offensive linemen to the inside with a vicious power move, on his way to a tackle for a loss. I like Davontae as a OLB at the next level and really like the way he covers the flats which is shown later in this tape. Davontae also can line up in the slot, as seen in the George Washington highlights below, where he runs a great wheel route and is able to keep his feet in bounds. Davontae is attending our Colorado Mini Camp and I am looking forward to watching him compete in our combine drills and football drills. These will be filmed and uploaded to our Scout Trout youtube page. The results and film will be sent off to every school in America that offers athletic scholarships. Thanks for joining the Scout Trout program and attending our mini camp!

We have the field at Loveland Sports Complex from 7 AM - 10 AM for our first session. This session will include the 40 yard dash, Shuttle, Bench Press, Broad Jump and the L-Drill. Players that cannot make this session can still test at the 4:30-8:30PM session. After everyone has tested, we will break into position groups for drills and coaching. Here are some sample video's of our combine events. Also, you can click the button below to see how effective our techniques are at shaving 2 tenth's off of your 40 time.  We even had a 4.28, 40 yard dash!

We had a very solid overall experience in our drills and 7 on 7 event. We had Michael Zakrzewski land his 2nd offer to play college ball; so far he has been offered by KCU and Tabor! Marcus Reeb showed me he had an enormous arm and the other players were comparing him to Winston! Marcus was a very raw QB who is going to to develop into a very good College QB. We found him late so we are weighing all options right now; and with his stellar academics, prep school is not out of the question. I started my College Career at Hargrave Military Academy. A 5th year never hurt anybody.

We had the great Dallas Cowboys Running back Sherman Williams in attendance, and his cousin, Cam, put on a show. He was able to rip off a 4.38, 40 yard dash, throw the ball with precision and lock down everyone at Corner back. I have recently got some mail back from some very good D2 school's that really like Cam! Stephen Gaines caught the eye of a D1 school that had run out of scholarships, but they have opened the doors for him to walk on and secure him a amazing package that will cost Stephen very little, if anything. I was located late as a transfer and CCSU got my bill down to 700 bucks, which also ended up being covered. They used no Football money. Stephen is also being pursued by some Junior Colleges, after posting a 4.3, 40 yard dash. Anthony Black was able to run a 4.42, 40 yard dash with a severely sprained ankle. He already had a offer from Avila and now has gained his 2nd offer from Tabor! Great job bro, as you are surely one of the toughest players I have met. Treven Easter had a phenomenal day and we have received mail from a few Historical Black College's, which are some of the best school's in America today. We even had a class 2016 player, Barrett Bush, attend and get some mail. Bush had a partial scholarship and decided to stay home and train a year. His film was quite fun to watch. The Class of 2018 players that attended were brilliant as well, and Jacob Hawkins is going to be something special for sure!  

We run these to show the young athlete's the proper technique for the combine drills and then obtain accurate data for the College Coaching staff. My first run at this I was able to clock the amazingly talented Willie Cherry, at exactly what the Nike combine's laser did. I got the amazing Tommy Hochheimer's time down to a 4.4 flat, after he ran a 4.55, in personal sessions. We as alternative league pro players (arena) have mastered the small details in order to get seen by the National Football League. After completing the drills and collecting all of the data (also filmed), we begin college style football activities, as observed at the Senior Bowl practices, ran by the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears. 

After our diverse position drills, we will begin one on one's, two on two's, using variations of college style concepts on both sides of the Football. My Quarterbacks will learn to go through a 5 target progression and how to manipulate a defense. On the Defensive side of the ball we have experienced DB's, with intensive coaching knowledge that make our job tough.  7 on 7 is a fun event that is also a great time to learn College style offenses and defenses. All of this is filmed and once we are finished putting together, is sent off to every school in America. 

We have a wide variety of talent coming to our mini camp here in Loveland, Colorado. We will even have a D1 Running back (offered) attending in Tommy Hochheimer. His team mate "Big Play Grey" was a joy to watch all season long and I cannot wait to see him catch passes from Jose Tovar! Jose signed up for my program not to long ago and has been getting some mail from William Penn! Jeremiah I believe already has a offer on the table from WIlliam Penn (IA). Diego Servantez (Pueblo Central) is a hard nosed player who also has gotten mail his way recently from the NAIA and a offer. Josh Tellez has committed to the power house CSU - Pueblo and will be bringing the State's leading rusher Bryson Torres. The entire East Eagles team should come with the talent they have amassed, winning 3 state titles in a row! Ben Douglas from Berthoud HS (CO) is being pursued by at least 5 school's last time I checked and will be looking to secure a scholarship. New sign ups Davontae Daniels (CO) and Mystikal Randel (KS) have already gotten mail from Adams State! I cannot wait to watch all of our athlete's compete at the Scout Trout Mini- Camp/Combine. 

So I sent this young man's information out and within minutes he has 4-5 coaches texting him. This young man deserves everything he is about to obtain, through hard work and perseverance. Through being displaced and having many personal issues that were not meant for a young man his age. He now stands that of a GIANT and moved like a the BIG CAT he is! When you watch this young man's film he is a very good initial get off and what I really like is his speed down the LOS, when chasing down ball carriers.  I remember last year in August when Big John Krahn hit my desk and the attention he garnered in a very short period of time. Tres thou on the other hand appears to be your prototypical blind side tackle. Why do I say this? Well to have the footwork and agility this big man has at 6'6 is quite remarkable. He has never been coached up and really shows that he can be one of the greatest to ever do it. Much like his Cousin Joel Barbosa, this young man plays with aggression and passion, on both sides of the football. They love pancakes in the Barbosa family and I believe they both are going to be serving them up hot and fresh for years to come. I want to thank the Barbosa family as a whole, for buying into the Scout Trout "Pipeline Program" and using it to the MAX! We have choices and voices too and they shall be heard!
