Matthews, a 5 foot 11, 160 pound junior at Kecoughtan High, earned the distinction of having the highest combined Nike Sparq score in air jordan 3 iii retro silver sport red light graphite orange peel the four events in which nearly 250 players were tested at the combine.

“I air jordan 13 infrared black infrared 23 black was just focused all day,” said Matthews, who also plays basketball at Kecoughtan and runs the 100 meter and 200 meter sprints and 4×100 meter relay for the Warriors’ track team. “Football is my first love. Football is above everything.”

Players were tested in the 40 yard dash, agility shuttle run, vertical jump and a power toss event in which players had to throw a chest pass from their knees with a weighted basketball.

Matthews came into the combine as a relative unknown air jordan 3 true blue 2001 in football recruiting circles, but his results could help to generate aOlernKienOP air jordan 12 xii flu game Lease A Private Jet And Travel In The Lap Of Lux some buzz. As host of the event, CNU’s coaches were the aOlernKienOP air jordan 8 viii retro black chrome Top 7 Most Helpful Online Customer Sur only college air jordan v oreo black cool grey white football coaches permitted to attend the combine, according to NCAA rules.

“I was surprised at how well I did,” said Matthews, who has no football scholarship offers and who plans to attend camps this summer at James Madison, Old Dominion and possibly Virginia Tech.
