Quote:
On Saturday in Massillon, Ohio, offensive guard Ben McGowan (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville) became the first offensive lineman to break 100 in the SPARQ Rating. The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder entered the event as a player who was starting to emerge on his own, recently pulling in his first offers from Bowling Green and Toledo and also having confirmed for Notre Dame's junior day Feb. 26. McGowan said Saturday he'd like to hear more from any Big 10 school, and after posting his 100.53 SPARQ rating, which included a tremendous 4.51 shuttle and 42-foot power ball toss, McGowan should see a significant spike with colleges as news of his performance begins to circulate.

There was a Nike Sparq combine held in Cleveland this weekend, and the results are posted on ESPN. There are a few relevant numbers from the results. (The athletes are given a "Sparq" rating at these events, which is a score based off their results at each event)
- Ohio DE Ifeadi Odenigbo finished 5th overall with a Sparq score of 109.02. This was Ifeadi's first combine, and he placed fifth overall out of hundreds and hundreds of kids.
40 Time: 4.62 Shuttle: 4.25 Vertical Jump: 33.5
- Ifeadi's teammate, OL Benny McGowan (6'4", 300 lbs) was the first offensive lineman to ever score over 100 on the Sparq scale. Ifeadi told me that Benny was injured for most of his season, which is why there aren't more schools after him, but he's a sleeper. Benny also happens to like Michigan, and has them in his top five. You can see a clip of his film here. McGowan is going to try to get in touch with the Michigan coaches soon. Keep an eye on him.
