The Event:

Event 1: The Mondo Dash. 55m dash that can be run in track spikes on the Mondo track surface (Trials & Finals by position group) with the 40yd dash timed enroute. Each athlete's top speed will be converted to miles per hour so they can be accurately compared to current college football players.

Shoes: Track spikes are recommended but not required

**This differs from the traditional combine where athletes run alone. In this setting, they would be both competing to win and competing for time.**

Event 2: Standing long jump into the sand pit.

Shoes: Regular turf or standard training shoe

**This differs from the traditional combine where the athletes land on turf. Athletes would use the sand pit and spikes which would allow for greater extension of the landing, leading to increased distances.**

Event 3: 3k Medicine Ball Throw

Shoes: Regular turf or standard training shoe

**New event that will measure an athletes power production. The distance traveled will be measured to create a standard event from which athletes of all position groups can be compared**

Event 4: Pro Agility (5-10-5) The event will have fully automatic timing (FAT) that will give the athlete the best representation of their true agility. This event will take place on an older style traditional astroturf type surface. Turf shoes are recommended, NO CLEATS!

Shoes: Regular turf or standard training shoe

**Same event that takes place at the combine**

Position Groups (up to 24 athletes per group):

Quarterbacks

Running Backs

Wide receivers

Tight ends & fullbacks

Offensive Linemen

Defensive Linemen

Linebackers

Defensive backs & Safeties

With the majority of the high school football players in the northeast having their football season impacted in one way or another, The Armory Combine gives these players the opportunity to showcase their talents to college coaches ahead of the early signing period of December 16-18, 2020 and the regular signing period in February, 2020.

College football recruiting relies heavily on combine type events to evaluate future talent. Additionally, with the added help and expertise of Tracking Football (www.trackingfootball.com) and Brian Hawkins of Prospect New York, these athletes will be able to be compared to other players throughout the country and give tangible results to the college coaches and schools.

The Armory Football Combine can provide this opportunity.
