Only going into the 9th grade but he already has numbers that would put many high school seniors to shame. With that, Peyton Newell walked away with National Underclassman Combine Ultimate 100 Combine King honors. Newell, standing at 6’2″ 221 lbs. , was the strongest 8th grader ever at the event after cranking out 31 reps at 135 lbs. In addition, he ran a 4.81 in the shuttle and 5.24 in the 40 yard dash. To quote the folks and NUC “Newell has major potential”. He has plenty of time to improve on those gaudy number since he won’t be graduating until 2014. Congratulations to Peyton Newell.
