ProspectFIT – Dedicated to “The Fit” For High School Recruits
Steven Turpin lands D1 track scholarship
Brennon Flannery commits to Dakota Wesleyan
BOUNTIFUL, Utah — Viewmont High School senior Brennon Flannery has committed to play NAIA Division-2 football for Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, South Dakota.
The ProspectFIT QB went from "under-the-radar" at the first of the year, to being actively recruited over the past month by more than 15 colleges from Iowa to California.
In the end, it was the values represented by Dakota Wesleyan head coach Brad Pole, and the school's fit with Flannery's family background that made the choice clear.
The Tigers finished 4-6 last year in the Great Plains Athletic Conference.
Flannery joins a Dakota Wesleyan recruiting class of more than 25 incoming players.

Michael Slack - Florida QB Enters the Recruiting Scene
Michael Slack - QB - Pine Castle Christian Academy
Late Entry Into the National Recruitment Scene
Michael Slack is a great collegiate prospect that enters the national recruiting scene a little late in the game. Better late than never...especially for college coaches as Michael is a tremendous student-athlete as an All-Metro Game Selectee, Conference and State recognition in the State of Florida. He also boasts a 4.2 GPA and 23 on his ACT test. Michael is going to make some college coach feel lucky that Michael came out so late in the game.
ProspectFIT Evalutation:
"I cannot believe those balls were thrown from that young man." This is the evaluation by a Division I FBS football coach recently evaluating Michael Slack as he stood forty yards away from a receiver and threw all 10 balls at the chest of the receiver and never above the head as the ball could be heard whizzing through the air. Michael Slack has more velocity and deadly accuracy than any QB this coach had seen in some time. Michael is a passing phenom on the field or in any practice environment. His ability to read defenses and find the open receiver and then deliver the ball right on time is amazing. Michael can do it all at the QB position - scramble, pass, run the option, sprint, boot and lead an offense with the best. His release has been timed at .333 of a second - literally phenomenal...one of the best in the country.
Tanner Nehls is ProspectFIT Athlete of the Year
RICHMOND, Texas — This time last year, Tanner Nehls was just hoping for a chance to play NCAA Division-3 football.
As a high school junior, Nehls was a pulling guard who was crafty about not getting caught holding. He weighed less than 190 pounds soaking wet, and ran a 5-something 40.
It seemed like even D3 football might be a long shot.
With National Signing Day less than two weeks from today, the senior TE from Travis High School in Richmond Texas now faces an entirely different problem.
A problem, that is, if you believe in nice problems to have. The new problem is which college football program to choose.
This month alone, Nehls has entertained five Division-1 FCS scholarship offers from a list of colleges that includes Stony Brook University (NY), Wagner University (NY), Midwestern State University (TX). His physical development has made all the difference.
And that development has earned him ProspectFIT Athlete of the Year honors for 2009.
Nehls (6-foot-2, 232 pounds) is bigger and stronger, and he’s improved his 40 time to 4.7 seconds.
That’s right. One year. A gain of nearly 50 pounds. An improvement of nearly half a second on his 40 time.
The difference is real. Congratulations to Tanner Nehls, ProspectFIT's 2009 Athlete of the Year.
