At almost every position, a 2010 prospect or younger outperformed their older counterparts. This year's Coleman was Devin Topps, a 6-foot-1.5, 200-pound
running back from Kentridge High. He was one of a handful of 2010 running backs, which included Bethel's Anthony Meray and Nehemie Kankolongo from
Centennial Secondary in British Columbia, that ran the hardest through the position drills and had the most consistent testing days.
Topps ran a 4.8 40, 4.5 20-yard shuttle, 9-feet in the standing broad jump, and lifted 185 pounds 13 times. Meray, at 5-foot-6 and 177 pounds, ran a 4.75
40, 4.42 shuttle, jumped 8-2 in the standing broad jump, and lifted 185 pounds 18 times. Kankolongo, who came from the same village in the Congo as 2009
South Eugene star Boseko Lokombo, ran a 4.8 40, 4.5 shuttle, 9-feet in the standing broad jump and lifted 185 pounds 10 times.
On the lines, no one was more impressive than Lakes sophomore Sione Potoae. At 6-foot-1 and 268 pounds, the defensive tackle ran a 5.27 40, a 4.99 40,
jumped 8 feet in the standing broad jump and lifted 185 pounds 24 times. In the 1-on-1 drills, he showed off his strength, ability and repertoire of moves
in handling his opponent time after time.
There were a couple of 2009 performers that definitely deserve mention for standing out. Puyallup's Justin Veltung had the day's lowest 40 time (4.39),
while Olympia RB Brock Hamm probably had the most consistent workout across the board: at 6-feet and 198 pounds, Hamm ran a 4.56 40, ran a 4.6 shuttle,
jumped 8-6 in the standing broad jump, and lifted 185 pounds 27 times.
Curtis WR Stan Langlow looked to be the top prospect of any of the junior receivers. The 6-3, 187-pound Langlow ran a 4.56 40, a 4.59 shuttle, jumped 9-7
in the long jump and benched 185 pounds 13 times.
On the DL, 2009 prospects David Gaylord, Hosam Shahin, Daniel Stockdale and Rob Tramonte all had noteworthy days. Gaylord, at 6-3 and 221 pounds, ran a
4.66 40, 4.7 shuttle, jumped 7-10 in the standing broad jump and benched 185 pounds 8 times. Shahin, at 6-3 and 255 pounds, ran a 5.05 40, 5.0 shuttle,
jumped 8-1 in the standing broad jump, and 185 pounds 19 times. Stockdale, at 6-2 and 222 pounds, ran a 4.98 40, a 4.8 shuttle, jumped 8-7 in the standing
broad jump and benched 185 pounds 15 times. Tramonte, at 6-feet and 243 pounds, ran a 4.82 40, a 4.71 shuttle, jumped 8-4 in the standing broad jump, and
benched 185 pounds 21 times.
And I have to mention the workout of young Joshua Garnett, who most likely head up the class of 2012 when it comes around. Garnett, at 6-foot-3 and 262
pounds, is not yet even in high school: he'll eventually matriculate to Puyallup High in two years. He ran a 5.63 40 and a 5.2 shuttle. Garnett is the son
of former UW lineman Scott Garnett, so the lineage is most definitely there.
