Several Guthrie football athlete’s are enjoying their summer break, but they are also preparing for the upcoming season.
Just recently seven players attended Schuman’s National Underclassmen Combine in Tulsa on May 28-30. Three players returned with most valuable player honors.
The National Underclassmen Combine is the longest running underclassmen combine in the USA and gives the players an early recruiting exposure.
Kentrell Brothers, Luke Davis, Blake Belcher, Hayden Seifert, Richard Brothers, Trevor Blassingame, and Kai Callins represented the Jays with work-outs held at Tulsa Memorial High School.
Kentrell Brothers, Davis, and Belcher were named most valuable player at their position and were invited to the Ultimate 100 Camp.
According to the camp directors, Belcher earned the offensive linemen MVP with a terrific all around performance. Belcher had good technique, a solid work ethic, strong hands and was dominant during the 1 on 1’s. The junior-to-be is the anchor on the Jays O-line at left tackle with his size and strength.
Davis was the defensive back MVP. The 5’9.5 168 lb safety ran a 4.45 shuttle, did a great job with coverage, competes for every ball, and is coachable according to directors. Davis piled up 112 tackles as a sophomore and will enter his junior campaign with high expectations.
Kentrell Brothers, who has attended several Schuman camps, won the linebacker MVP. The 6’1 211 lb standout had an 8’0 broad jump, tied up the wide receiver’s, played physical and had awesome hands during 1 on 1’s. Brothers currently has 15 Division I football offers.
Brothers younger sibling, Richard Brothers, who also has attended multiple Schuman camps, continued to make improvements in his drills and may be a great wide receiver option for the Jays coming off an injury.
Attending their first camp was Seifert, Blassingame, and Callins.
Seifert worked-out with the linemen and will benefit the Jays offensive line. Seifert made big strides toward the end of the season and proved to be valuable in the playoff run.
Both Blassingame and Callins are coming off stellar junior high career’s. Blassingame at times seemed to be unstoppable from his defensive end spot. Callins made circus type runs around would be tackler’s and showed his right arm was just as effective as the 8th grade quarterback.
The Guthrie football team continues summer work-outs in June and July with the first team practice set for August 10th.

I sent my ace photographer up to T-town, but have not received any pics. Suppose I need to pay him more?
