Posted by Mason Kelley

I wanted to share this press release regarding the 2010 U.S. Army National Combine:

There are two more players from Gonzaga Prep High School in Spokane to add to this list:

Charlie Hopkins

Bishop Sankey

WHARTON, N.J. (Dec. 15, 2009) — Dalton Blackmore of Kentwood High School (Covington, Wash.), Cornelius Edison of Curtis Senior High School (University Place, Wash.), Justin Lane of Lakewood High School (North Lakewood, Wash.), Alec Martin of Wenatchee High School (Wenatchee, Wash.) and Tana Pritchard of Clover Park High School (Lakewood, Wash.) has been selected to participate in the 2010 U.S. Army National Combine, joining an elite group of the nation’s best underclass student-athletes.

The Combine will take place on January 7-9, 2010, during “Bowl Week”—the week-long festivities leading up to the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday, January 9, 2010, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The annual classic East vs. West match-up will be televised live on NBC at 10 a.m. PDT and will feature the nation’s top 90 high school football players.

The three-day event, held annually in association with the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, is the first opportunity for the nation’s top underclassmen to demonstrate their physical talent and compete against one another amongst high school and college football’s top scouting organizations, as well as the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which features Tom Lemming and Rivals.com.

Modeled after the NFL combine, all combine tests and competitive drills will take place in the Alamodome. Athletes will receive apparel and gear at the event. In addition, athletes will receive lunch, bus transportation, and a ticket to attend the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

U.S. Army National Combine alumni include: Ted Ginn Jr. (Miami Dolphins), Donte Whitner (Buffalo Bills), Jamaal Charles (Kansas City Chiefs), Tim Tebow (Florida), Colt McCoy (Texas), Matt Stafford (Detroit Lions), Tom Zbikowski (Baltimore Ravens), Myron Rolle (Florida State), Derrick Williams (Detroit Lions) and Armando Allen (Notre Dame)
