New Jersey All-Combine Team


New Jersey -- Scout.com made a successful return to the Garden State with another solid combine. After all the testing and skills competitions we have named the All-Combine team.

OFFENSE

QB: Nolan Kearney, Downingtown West , Pa.

Kearney showed a lot of poise in the pocket and consistently placed his passes on the money most of the day. He has above average arm strength and good touch. It's just a matter of time before Kearney starts receiving offers.

RB: David Zapata, Hornell, N.Y.

Zapata is a player that we've liked since we saw his film earlier in the year. At the combine we needed to see a timed speed and he delivered with a 4.4 4-yard time. Zapata has outstanding quickness and elusiveness.

RB: Jordan Todman, Dartmouth, Mass.

Todman like Zapata tested very well. Todman also showed outstanding quickness and elusiveness in the skills portion of the combine. He is a very fluid athlete that some schools are looking at as a corner.

FB: Kirkland Hamilton, Northern Burlington, N.J.

We don't often find a lot of pure fullbacks at our combines, but Hamilton made an impression. He is a very solid 240-pounds and he moves like a running back. Reminded us a lot of one of the New Jersey combine stars last year Devon Ramsey.

WR: Vaughn Carraway, Laureldale (Pa.) Muhlenburg

Carraway is another player that we identified early on as a playmaker. He has since garnered a handful of scholarship offers. Carraway didn't disappoint at the combine as he tested well and performed as expected in the one-on-one competition.

WR: Marquis Palmer-Garcia, Bronx (N.Y.) Herbert H. Lehman

Palmer-Garcia made the team based on hustle and desire. The kid was diving all over the turf all day snagging passes left and right. He is a big bodied receiver who could be a nice red-zone weapon

WR: Jimmy Kelly, Lansdale Catholic (Pa.)

Kelly is not the biggest or the fastest receiver you will see. He is not great at any one particular facet of the game, but he does everything well. We have no doubts that Kelly could play at the D-I level.

WR: Nihja White, Berwyn (Pa.) Conestoga

White is deceptively fast for a bigger wide receiver. He may not run a fast time on a stopwatch, but he has game speed. He did a great job readjusting for the ball on several poorly thrown passes. He also showed outstanding leaping ability.

TE: Steve Marck, Fairless Hills (Pa.) Pennsbury

If the name sounds familiar that is because it is. Last year at our New Jersey combine C.J. Marck put on a show and eventually ended up signing with Connecticut. This year, his younger brother and class of 2009 prospect Steve performed well enough to be named to the All-Combine team and will be a player to watch over the next two years.

OL: Tim Farley, Lancaster (Pa.) Manheim Township

Farley struggled a little bit early on, but he regrouped and turned in a solid performance. Farley has a chance to become a dominating run blocker. The Streaks throw a lot, so you know pass blocking is like second nature to him.

OL: Martin Wallace, New York (N.Y.) Beacon School

Wallace has good feet and a great frame. He could carry a lot of weight in the future. Wallace was very competitive and would not back away from a challenge.

OL: Ike Igbinosun, Rahway (N.J.)

Igbinosun is what I like to refer to as a "Technician". He is very fundamentally sound. Igbinosun has a ways to go physically, but there is no doubting his technique. He won't overpower many players, but he uses leverage and outstanding technique to beat much larger players. If Igbinosun can add 20-30 pounds to his frame over the next year, he could get some serious looks.

OL: Clark Maturo, Lakeville (Conn.) Hotchkiss

As an interior lineman, Maturo like many other really on power and brute strength. He needs to diversify his game a little bit, but at the combine it proved to be enough to get the job done.

OL: Tyler Sands, Boyertown, Pa.

The first thing you notice about Sands is his frame, he can add a lot of weight. His footwork is very solid and his has a nasty disposition when he lines up against an opponent.

ATH: Chris Johnson, Philadelphia (Pa.) Roman Catholic

Johnson is one of the most physically impressive looking prospects I have seen this year. Even if QB doesn't work out for him, he is the type of prospect that you take regardless and figure out where to play him later.

ATH: Ulysses Achonye, Bloomfield, (N.J.)

I don't like having two athletes on the offense, but we felt that Achonye deserved to be on the team just because of his testing results. If his film matches the ability that he showed at the combine he could be a star on the rise.

DEFENSE

DL: Leon Mackey, Newark (Del.) Christiana

Mackey tested through the roof which we have documented all week and the exclamation point was him winning the MVP award. Plain ands simple, physically Mackey was the most impressive looking player I have seen this season.

DL: Doug Alston, Paterson (N.J.) Catholic

Alston was basically unstoppable of the edge, but we see his future being at outside linebacker at the next level. He is athletic enough to make the switch.

DL: Chris Palmer, Philadelphia (Pa.) St. John Neumann-Goretti

Palmer is another very impressive looking athlete. He and Mackey are the posterboys for what a 270-pound player should look like. He also tested well and should see a surge in the recruiting game after this combine.

DL: Jarel Lowery, Paterson (N.J.) Catholic

Lowery is a prototype defensive tackle. He has a solid build and is very explosive off the snap. Two seasons ago he was a very athletic tight end prospect and that hasn't changed with the position switch.

LB: Nick Sizemore, Lancaster (Pa.) Manheim Township

We profiled Sizemore in our combine preview as a player to watch, despite the fact that he is only a sophomore getting ready for his junior season. Sizemore did not disappoint and should be a top prospect in the state next season. Sizemore did not look out of place with the older prospects, he fit right in.

LB: Jeremy Rodriguez, Laureldale (Pa.) Muhlenburg

The New Orleans transfer looked like he hasn't missed a beat since leaving the hurricane ravaged city. Rodriguez is a bit undersized, but he is very solid in coverage. Once he fills out he should receive some looks.

LB: Matthew Morgan, Horseheads, N.Y.

Morgan came out of nowhere and helped raise his stock as much, if not more than any other prospect at the combine. He tested well and definitely looked the part. The most impressive aspect of his performance was the ability that Morgan showed in pass coverage against smaller, faster running backs and tight ends.

LB/S: Brian Leffler, Lawrenceville (N.J.) Notre Dame

Most of the times when we focused on Leffler he was making plays, including a nice pick six up the sideline. He is undersized and may be asked to make a switch to safety at the next level.

DB: Geoffrey Prather, Radnor (Pa.) Archbishop Carroll

Prather first caught our eye at the U.S. Army Combine in San Antonio, Texas. Prather came to New Jersey and looked even more impressive. At 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, he clocked an impressive 4.66. We see his future at WILL.

DB: Emmanuel Asam, Bloomfield, N.J.

Scout.com traveling coach Don Cox had no trouble labeling Asam as the top defensive back at the New Jersey Combine. "Once that boy fills out his body, he has a chance to be a very good cover corner."

DB: J.B. Andreassi, Melville (N.Y.) St. Anthony's

Andreassi was one of the more impressive cover safeties we have had this year. He really performed well and has a chance to become a D-I safety.

DB: Vail Grafton, Lawrenceville (N.J.) Notre Dame

Grafton is only a sophomore and is not the most physically imposing corner in the world, but he is a get on you hip and cover you like glue type of guy. He is undersized, but he has a bright future.

The all-combine team is for the best of the best performers in all facets of the camp, but there were a few other players who were extremely close to making the list who deserve mention:

CB - Dwayne Gratz Piscataway, N.J. 2008

QB - Stephen Shimko Ewing, N.J. 2008

QB - James Brady St. Anthony's, N.Y. 2008

QB - Matt Coyne Bristol Central, Conn. 2008

WR - Wade Williams St. Pius X, Pa. 2008

WR - Ronald Green Ballou, D.C. 2008

WR - Demetrius Washington-Ellison Rahway, N.J. 2008

RB - Michael Campanaro River Hill, Md. 2009

DT - Joe Thompson Paterson Catholic, N.J. 2008

DB - Johnathan Blassingame W.W.P-North, N.J. 2007

DE - Christian Reed Notre Dame, N.J. 2009

OL - Chad Davis Newark, Del. 2008

LB - Dawan Nolton Irvington, N.J. 2008

CB - Calvin Brownridge Paterson Catholic, N.J. 2008

QB - Emmanuel Yeager Ballou, D.C. 2009
