It had been a while, but thanks in large part to NFL veteran trainer and lead instructor Gerard Lewis, Blue-Grey football made its return for the All-American Combine (Houston Regional).

The brand was in the region, not long ago in fact, when Houston Texans’ NRG Stadium played host to the All-American Bowl (Class of 2019). This time around, it was another success.

There were many scholarship-worthy prospects in attendance and numerous others fit in that category. Below is a recap of some of the top performers and each is now considered as an All-American Bowl candidate for one of the upcoming games later on this year (details to follow).

Chase Corwin, 2028, QB, Magnolia West (TX): The 6’1 and 180-pounder has been in contact with schools such as Rice, among others.

Haden LaFrenz, 2028, QB, Deer Park (TX): The 6’1 and 190-pounder went out and played with experience of an upperclassman.

Ijamyn Gray, 2029, QB, Booker T. Washington (FL): Not intimidated by anyone or anything, the 5’11 and 190-pounder is one to watch.

Ian Thomas, 2028, RB, Tomball (TX): On the official roster, the 6’0 and 195-pounder has offers from LSU, Texas and UCLA.

Antonio Booker, 2028, RB, The Woodlands (TX): The 5’10” 195-pounder has several offers and the list could reach double digits soon.

Dejaune Etheridge, 2027, RB, Klein Forest (TX): The 5’9 and 175-pounder could end being a good fit with team such as Rice.

Kameron Simon, 2028, RB, Franklinton (NC): Coastal Carolina seems to be at the top of of the list for the 5’10 and 180-pounder.

Miles Spurlock, 2029, RB, Barbers Hill (TX): The 6’0 and 196-pounder has UTSA and Texas State offers. He’s just getting started.

Jacob Gray, 2027, OL, St. Pius X (TX): Already with an offer from Kent State, the 6’4 and 300-pounder will soon be a hot commodity.

Landon Martinez, 2027, OL, St. Pius X (TX): The 6’3 and 295-pounder was extremely difficult to deal down in the trenches.

Zion Newton, 2027, DB, Hightower (TX): The 5’8 and 165-pounder has been in contact with Texas State. Remember his name.

Michael Renfro, 2027, DB, San Augustine (TX): Good size and speed, the 6’3 and 170-pounder opened eyes. He plays offense, too.

Myles Andrews, 2027, LB, Beaumont (TX): The 5’11 and 215-pounder held his own, and then some, against backs and tight ends.

Stantyn Delapasse, 2027, LB, Prairieville (LA): Versatile as they come, the 5’10 and 185-pounder is destined to play on Saturdays.

Oliver Gordon, 2028, DL, Canyon (TX): Eager to prove himself, the 6’3 and 220-pounder earned the respect of his peers.

Editor’s Note: When it comes to statistics from the nationwide series of All-American Combines, such as the most recent one, we’ve got you covered. For the numbers, look no further (click here).

Worth mentioning, periodically and often within days, more information about the workout will be added in this space. That said, feel free to check back on a regular basis for the much-needed insight.

A bit later in the summer, invitations will be extended to one of the brand’s upcoming All-American Bowls held at NFL stadium and nationally broadcast on ESPN’s family of networks or YouTube.

Games take place at Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, Buccaneers’ Raymond James Stadium, Falcons’ Mercedes Benz Stadium, Texans’ NRG Stadium or Jaguars’ EverBank Field, among other venues. 

Moving forward, the Blue-Grey Football Selection Committee will consider a number of different factors before making any decision on potential invites to the All-American Bowl. Stay tuned.
