Summertime is Hot at TMB - Check out these updates

TMB Athletes and recruits are hard at work this summer. Here are some notable items since late May for TMB athletes:

16 Athletes are training with TMB Beastmode Training in Texas including recruits Tanner Nehls, Earl Smith, Alex Brown and Madisson Milner. Major kudos to Travis High School Football Coach Matt Farmer and Beastmode Leader and Trainer Jay Barnett.

Tanner Nehls hit the Colorado State University rising seniors camp in early June - Lightning cut the camp short and Tanner has been invited back to the camp July 25th. He also tested well at the Texas State camp in mid-June.

Trevor Olson, QB at Evergreen High School, attended camps at QBR in Thousand Oaks, Florida University rising seniors (still a scholarship hopeful finishing in the top 3 QB's in the camp), Colorado State University, National Underclassman Combine (NUC) where he was MVP, San Diego State University and still has Rivals Top 100 camp in Los Angeles and Friday Night Lights as an invite by Coach Scott Loeffler at the University of Florida.

Madisson Milner shocked 'em at the University of Houston and won the tire pull competition in the Big Man competition in early June. Madisson is looking at other camps as he returns from vacation.

Earl Smith has clocked a 4.6 forty at the Texas State camp and several combines. His speed has quickened and he will compete again before the end of summer as he has been a "beast" in the Beastmode training and converted 11 pounds to muscle mass that was otherwise holding him back. Look for Earl as he continues to rank daily as the best of breed in his pursuit of excellence with Coach Jay Barnett.

Alex Fricke, Greg Yearsley, Jake Sewolt, and CJ Funches attended the QBR Camp in June that has placed 19 athletes in the NFL. Alex was looked at hard by the coaches from Cal Lutheran University and Jake Sewolt looks like he will come out of Bridgton Academy next year as one of its top prospects for NCAA Division IAA.

Alex Brown is on a tour of camps most notably the University of Michigan where he was selected in the camps top 15 lineman from hundreds of athletes. Alex is visiting some other smaller univerisities in Texas as well.

 Two TMB Athletes To Watch

The TMB Family has added a lot of talent to the mix of athletes across Colorado, South Dakota and Texas this summer and we are growing at a steady rate.  There are many shining stars in the TMB sky and more will be featured.  For this article we are featuring two rising seniors from Travis High School and Richmond, TX.  As we watch these two athletes work we become enthralled with their potential.  They are Madisson Milner, Offensive Lineman - 6'4" 265 lbs. and his teammate on the other side of the ball, Earl Smith, Outside Linebacker/Strong Safety - 5' 10", 202 lbs.

We will keep you up to date on all our athletes.  Keep your eyes on these two players as we have high hopes for their rise in the collegiate ranks.  The performance statistics have already changed in just two weeks.  To keep up with these two and to watch video click on 2020 athletes on the left side of this page and click on their profiles.  You can then click on the video gallery button (The video gallery links in the pictures below are just screen shot and is not an active link).

Remember if you meet an athlete that aspires to play at the next level let us know and we will make sure we work with them at the best of our abilities to place them at the collegiate level.

As the 2009 seniors graduate, 2010 athletes are coming on board to Team TMB to prepare for their final campaigns next season.  TMB is proud to announce the addition of Tanner Nehls, Junior Tight End, 6'3" - 220 lbs. and Alex Brown, Junior Olineman, 6'3.5" - 278 both from Travis High School in Richmond, TX.  Also joining TMB is Brian Long, Sophomore Defensive End, 6'2", 205 lbs. and basketballer Marc Halderman both from Riggs High School in Pierre, SD.

 - Tanner Nehls, Jr. - TE - Travis High School - Richmond, TX

Tanner is a Division I "becoming".  Having grown substantially in the last year he looks to be a bona fide Division II prospect but really has no top-side as to what he can accomplish.  Being a "late bloomer" has its benefits as Tanner seems determined to catch and pass up some of the early DI prospects.  Look for Tanner to make some higher educational Division IAA program very happy.

 - Brian Long, Soph - DE - Riggs High School - Pierre, SD

As a just turned 16 year-old the prospects for Brian Long going into his junior yeear are solid.  He already stands 6'2" inches and boasts 205 lbs.  He is fast, strong and getting bigger and more athletic everyday as he tackles the rigorous workouts of Coach Brady Walz at TMB South Dakota.  He is also a hockey prospect as he dominates the high school ice arenas.

 - Bruce "Alex" Brown, Jr. - OL - Travis High School - Richmond, TX

When the lights go on on Friday down in greater Houston, Texas look for this young man to make a big contribution to Travis High School's first senior class.  Alex Brown is a big force for Randy Cunningham's team.  Alex is a projected Division II player right now.  We will see where his hard work takes him in the next eight months.

  - Marc Halderman, Soph. - Basketball guard - Riggs High School - Pierre, SD

Mark is a special player that has great prospects for the future.  Mark plays with the Governors basketball team which took a run into the state quarterfinals this year.  Mark has good size and athleticism and as a sophomore looks to have nothing but upside.

 Welcome aboard to these fine athletes!

^{_{Evergreen High School Football and Academic stand-out Jeff Yearsley has committed to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY.  RPI is one of the world’s most renowned engineering schools and has been ranked in the Top Ten in football in the NCAA’s Division III category the last five years.  Jeff will play football at RPI after receiving financial aid from the school which boasts four League Championships (1997, 1998, 1999, 2001), six Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship Game appearances (1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2005) and three NCAA Playoff appearances (1999, 2001, 2003) including a semi-final appearance in the National Championship Playoffs.}} 

^{_{RPI also hails such alumni as the original organizer of NASA and leader of several space missions including putting the first man on the moon; the inventor of Guitar Hero III; the inventor of Blackberry; the founder of Texas Instruments; the founder of MFS which became the backbone fiber network for MCI WorldCom and many other prestigious graduates.  Yearsley will graduate in May from Evergreen and will attend RPI in the fall of 2009 and will report for football in August.}} 

^{_{“I am excited about the opportunity to attend RPI and play football for Coach (Joe) King and the Engineers,” commented Yearsley.  “It was a tough choice but RPI was the best fit for my academic and athletic goals.”   Yearsley received scholarship offers to play at several schools with the finalists being Occidental College, Claremont University, and Willamette University.  He visited approximately a dozen campuses this winter on official visits and has waited until today to make his decision.  While the NCAA BCS football teams secure commitments in February, the higher educational schools have to get through March for admissions and financial aid to be finalized.}} 

^{_{Yearsley was the recipient of Evergreen High School’s prestigious Mark Taylor Award as outstanding student athlete, finished All-Conference both ways on offense and defense, and was named to the Canyon Courier’s All-Area team.  He won the Five Mountain Area School Power-lifting Championship and received All-State honors as well.}}
