Blue-Grey All-American Combine: Rocky Mountain Super Scouting Report (2018)
NFL veteran Mark McMillian was an instructor, with one-time professional such as Byron Evans, George Martinez and Sean White, also Northern Colorado product Jackson Block.
What follows is much-needed insight about those on hand who, when all was said and done, left a lasting impression on the powers that be. The coaching staff in place, naturally.
Keegan Tharp, QB, Coronado (NV): The 6-foot-3 and 190-pound junior has talked with the likes of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah in the not so distant past.
Matthew Jones, QB, Central Davidson (NC): The 6-3 and 185-pound junior has plenty of upside, and naturally, his skill set was on display in this environment.
Gavin Herberg, QB, Pine Creek (CO): The 6-foot and 175-pound junior was about as athletic as they come. Dylan Hayden from Thunder Basin (WY) also did well.
Seth Davis, RB, El Dorado (TX): Waiting in the wings for a while now, the time has come for the 5-9 and 190-pound senior to step to the forefront. He’s ready, too.
Bryce Wilson, RB, Hamilton (IL): Not many around are stronger than the 5-7 and 215-pound senior, who’s more of a fullback type. There’s a lot to like about him.
Noah Smith, RB, Lincoln County (NV): The 6-2 and 180-pound senior was a bigger and effective back. Vincen Wagner from Trevor Browne (AZ) was in a similar category.
Tre’on Fairgood-Jones, RB, Omaha North (NE): The 5-10 and 170-pound junior is officially on the radar, same goes for Spencer Peterson from Pine Creek (CO).
Dylan James, WR, Eaglecrest (CO): The 5-9 and 165-pound senior was difficult to deal with and will most likely be a good fit with a team from the Big Sky Conference.
Drelyn Carroll, WR, Schlagle (KS): Regardless of the opponent, the 6-3 and 170-pound senior delivered results. No surprise, he’s been in contact with Missouri State.
Billy Conaway, WR, Shawnee Mission North (KS): The 6-foot 190-pound senior has been a Missouri Valley Conference target and was on campus with Kansas State.
Cory Carignan, WR, Arvada West (CO): The 5-10 and 170-pound senior gave defenders fits throughout and North Colorado might be a potential landing spot for him.
Teven McKelvey, WR, Gardner-Edgerton (KS): With a high ceiling, the 6-1 and 177-pound junior was not afraid of the big stage and shined while in the spotlight.
Jacob Lozinski, WR, Berthoud (CO): The 6-foot and 185-pound held his own, so did Gabriel Stonewall from Franklin (TX) and Matheu Sands from Prairie View (CO).
Gabriel Sandoval, TE, Elkins (TX): The 6-3 and 245-pound senior showed several flashes during the one-on-ones, along with his peer Chase Lantto from Peyton (CO).
Trey Vaval, DB, Blue Springs South (MO): South Dakota and North Dakota are apparent fans of the 6-foot and 150-pound senior. Rightfully so after the effort in this setting.
George Bowers, DB, Grace Brethren (CA): The 5-10 and 155-pound junior is on the verge of big things, as Mountain West Conference programs have kept an eye on him.
Marques Sigle, DB, Omaha North (NE): The 5-11 and 160-pound junior was able to shutdown more than a few of his counterparts over the course of the workout.
Riley Tucker, DB, Desert Mountain (AZ): The 5-11 and 170-pound senior opened eyes, Darius McMoore from Samoana (HI) and Daniel Bone from Pine Creek (CO), too.
Dias Redmond, LB, Cypress Ridge (TX): Programs in the Southland Conference, specifically speaking Abilene Christian, are keeping tabs on the 6-1 and 220-pound senior.
Ethan Carson, LB, Bishop Manogue (NC): The 6-2 and 230-pound had a motor that did not stop. He had one gear only, and of course, that was full-speed ahead.
David Aldridge, LB, George Rogers Clark (KY): The 6-2 and 235-pound senior did well, with Colton Hill from Seward (NE) and Greg Allie from Pinnacle (AZ).
Kaden Bretzing, OL, Timpanogos (UT): A center, the 6-2 and 285-pound senior turned heads on several occasions. The coaching staff was pleased with his effort.
Dustin Burgett, OL, Lyons Decatur (NE): A center, the 6-1 and 250-pound senior made the difficult tasks seem easy. He’s a natural when it comes to life on the interior.
Jacob Tafoya, OL, La Junta (CO): The 6-2 and 313-pound senior was a force to be reckon with in the trenches, as was John Mason Hitt from Brazos Christian (TX).
DeOnte Washington, DL, Vista Ridge (CO): No question about things, the 6-2 and 253-pound senior was without peer. Accordingly, he has an offer from Northern Colorado.
Patrick Harris, DL, St. Mary’s (MO): The 6-foot and 205-pound junior, who appears to be in the midst of a growth spurt, has potential to be an impact player at the next level.
Max Cook, DL, Macon (MO): The 6-4 and 240-pound was a load, with Hunter Paxton from Sterling from (CO), Kody McPherson from Empire (AZ) and Keith Alvarado from Eldorado (NM).

Additionally, those who did well at this workout, in due time, could be invited to one of the brand’s All-American Bowls held at NFL stadium and nationally broadcast on ESPN’s family of networks.
The games take place at one of several well-known venues: Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Raymond James Stadium and Jacksonville Jaguars’ EverBank Field.
Moving forward, the Blue-Grey Football Selection Committee will consider a number of different factors before making an all-important decision on invites to the All-American Bowl. Stay tuned.
