Tanner Nehls 

Reported by Ryan Mullaney -

This morning I rode our treacherous mountain bike ride - even did the ten sprints - even took a detour up one of the "Not an Outlet" turns that lasted over 3 miles.  I did it by myself. This morning Jake Sewolt's departure for Bridgton Academy in Maine signals the last athlete to leave for training camp.

No, I'm not having a maudlin moment - our summer program is over and we begin in-season training in a few weeks.  Actually, quite the contrary; I'm excited for our athletes as they close out summer training and head off to their athletic destinies (sorry Bill Yearsley - academic as well).  Here are some exciting notes:

• Jerry Howard of Biokats and Rocky Preps, and Ryan Mullaney have contracted with ESPN Radio for one year for a high school prep radio show.  It will basically be a live reporting mechanism for Rocky Preps - scores, stats, interviews with coaches. players and the like.  It is called "The Rock with Jerry and The Coach".
• Jeff Yearsley tested as the second strongest at RPI - Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute.  He did 305 four times in bench, vertical jumped 33 inches, shuttle timed 4.4 - if you've ever been around Jeff, you know the rest of the story for Jeff - he's a stud. 

• Maciah Herbert is starting at safety after transferring from Evergreen High School to Mission Viejo High School in California.  Nice move as Mission Viejo HS is a top 20 ranked program in the nation.
• Trent Butler followed suit as he transferred from EHS to Eastlake in Seattle, WA.  Trent is starting at Strong Safety, A Back, and alternating at Tailback as well.  
• Trevor Olson has transferred to Cathedral High School in Los Angeles where he will play QB and throw to two of the top receivers in the U.S.
• Jake Sewolt - see above - Jake will test this Thursday.
• Jerry Slota - fighting for the third job at QB at CU.
• Alex Fricke - Starting at QB and OLB for Evergreen High School - coaches are very impressed with him.
• Chance Cumming - is at the University of New Mexico right now.  We will get updates on Chance throughout the year.  Good luck Chance!

 TMB Athletes Are Ready to Rock!

The Football Season is right around the corner and TMB Athletes are putting the finishing touch on summer training.  You gotta love some of these guys.  Here are some interesting facts:

1. Brian Long of South Dakota competed in the junior power lifting competition in New Jersey.  As a to be junior Brian is 6'1" and 215 lbs of solid rock.  He will be a Division I prospect if he gets good coaching this year and can keep his current developmental pace.  He is a linebacker and tough as nails.
2. Earl Smith of Travis HS in Texas wowed them at the University of Texas, San Antonio.  He is sure to garner an offer during the season.  Earl slimmed down, got stronger and faster working with Coach Farmer in the weight room and with Jay Barnett of TMB Beastmode Texas. 
3. Alex Brown slimmed down from 280 lbs to 259 lbs.; got his feet to move; got stronger; and got moved to center full time.  He looks to be a promising center prospect out of Travis in TX as well.
4. Travis TE Tanner Nehls has worked his developmental track like none other as he continues to grow as he approaches 220 lbs.; gets bigger, faster and stronger.  Tanner has his sights on Division IAA and he most likely can attain his goal.
5. Madisson Milner is a beast.  His development this summer is fat to muscle, quickness and a punch that will rock Southwest Houston as a member of Travis as well.
6. Evergreen's Trevor Olson turned heads at Colorado State, Florida, San Diego State, the Ultimate 100 combine in Los Angeles and pulled his weight up to 213 lbs.
7. Alex Fricke of Evergreen is rotating 6 positions in camp and is showing himself to be an awesome utility player.  Alex could pass the 180 lb mark as his strength continues to grow and his speed complements his abilities.
8. Trent Butler tore his miniscus and gained about 10 lbs of fat.  As soon as he was ready to go he converted all the fat to muscle and conditioned twice a day.  He is ready to conquer at the rb and slot receiver position.  Unbelievable recovery.
9. Jeff Yearsley is going to report for his inaugaral season at RPI, a great NCAA football program out of Troy, NY.  Jeff is pushing 220 up from 188 last November as he set the Evergreen High School bench press at 365 lbs.  Jeff is an awesome TMB story.
10. Jake Sewolt has gone from 188 lbs to 208 lbs. as he gets ready for Bridgton Academy in Maine.  Jake's goal, play Division I or IAA coming out of one of the top prep schools in the U.S.  He will play slot receiver or strong safety or both.
11. Joe Hemschoot will start at QB at Lakewood HS in Lakewood, CO.  His first time playing QB ever in HS.  He is one of Colorado's best LB candidates as well.  Joe has gone beastmode in his training this summer and has attended camps at QBR in California, Colorado State, and Colorado.  Joe is a top student at Lakewood and could easily make his way to the Colonial and Patriot Leagues in the NCAA.  Joe worked in with TMB in his development of mechanics as a QB.

There are a hundred tales to tell for all the TMB athletes, especially the younger athletes.  We wish them all well as they trudge the road to collegiate aspirations.
