Video of the Day: Peyton Newell – Hiawatha H.S. – Hiawatha, KS
The are phenoms and there are phenoms. Peyton Newell fits in either one of those categories. Newell is a physical freak with a 300 plus pound bench press and 500 plus pound squat. These would be great numbers for a senior but Newell has just completed his freshman year. The best part about is that Newell is not just a weight room warrior, he happens to be a very good football player as well. Newell owns a wicked get off from the line of scrimmage when the ball is hiked. This makes him a frequent visitors to the opponent’s backfield where he can wrap them up and get them down to the ground with the best of them. Newell also does a great job shedding blockers and taking on double teams. The misfortune for Hiawatha’s opponents is that they have three more years of this. Newell has also hit quite a few camps in his early career and as you can imagine, he has walked away with awards and MVP honors with regularity. He’s one to keep an eye on this season and for several more to come. Click here to view Peyton Newell’s Highlight Video at Gridironstuds.com
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.
