Tackle excels with big boys at combine
Tackle excels with big boys at combineBy SEAN BURNS, Staff Writer What do you get when you throw 500 of the top high school football players in the country onto one field?
Ask Severn resident A. J. Francis, who spent three days earlier this month in San Antonio for the U.S. Army National Combine, a showcase for college recruiting services such as scout.com and superprep.
Continued...
Take a guess to whom he is referring in the this quote: 
Quote:
|
"In my first drill, I went against a guy who is already committed to West Virginia and is supposed to be one of the best offensive linemen in the country," he said. "I totally destroyed him, and from there on out, I was like 'let's go'.
|
Currently, his top picks include Maryland, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, and this year's National Championship game participants Ohio State and Florida.

A few things from the article Grad posted...
He ran a 5.8 at the combine, but ran a 5.02 in the shuttle. Also Lemming told him he was the top DLineman there.
