With an incredible second quarter pass

deflection, Sturgill single-handedly stopped the heavy momentum that the North was

establishing in their offensive drive towards the East’s end zone. The pass

deflection forced the North to punt, shifting the

controls to the East’s offense, ultimately leading

to their second score.

This year’s NAFL All-Star and Championship

weekend was held in Miami, Florida. The weekend was full of

festivities including the NAFL National

Championship game on Saturday, November 14, 2009. The All-Star games of East versus

MIAMI, FL - Sunday, November 15, 2009, Radford University’s Nick Schrank earned the NAFL East Coast MVP Award after his stellar performance in the NAFL All-Star Game. Only three other players in the nation, each coming from North, East, South and West divisions, received this great honor. Nick Schrank ended the game with a total of eight solo tackles, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and a bone-crushing sack, placing him at the top of the list for receiving the MVP award. “I just thank God that I was able to play well enough to be in contention,” said Nick. Fellow teammate, Jeremy Sturgill put on an amazing show at the defensive tackle position for the East Coast squad as well. Due to a dislocated shoulder late in the third quarter, Jeremy Sturgill was put out of contention for the East’s MVP, but up until that time, he was nipping at the heels of Nick Schrank for the MVP spotlight. Nick Schrank spent the night at Outside Linebacker for the All-Star game, playing with teammates hailing from all over the original thirteen colonies. Unfortunately, the North defeated the East Coast 24-21, with the winning touchdown coming late in the fourth quarter, but the entire game showcased the talents of both teams and was highly entertaining with big plays on both sides of the ball. Jeremy Sturgill proved to wreak havoc on the defensive line against the Northern All-Stars.

Sunday, November 1, 2009 marked the first professional tryout for Nick Schrank with the Richmond Revolution and the cross-city rival Richmond Raiders. Along with 4 of his Summer League teammates from the VA Crimson Cardinals, the workouts consisted of position specific drills, the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, 225 bench-press max and the broad jump. After a strenuous 2-hour session with the Richmond Revolution, the Revolution coaching staff expressed a heavy interest in all the players sent by Manager Collin White from the VA Crimson Cardinal team. Hopes for a contract offering and an invited roster spot for the 2010 spring season are what Nick Schrank is praying for. "It was definitely a very good experience for me to be able to grow and learn about the workings of professional football," stated Schrank. Nick Schrank was able to talk closely with the Head Coach of the Revolution, Steve Criswell, and hand him his media kit of previous game and workout film. The next few weeks will definitely be stressful for the young athlete as he awaits the incoming phone calls.

First Professional Tryouts Show Promise of Contracts

Vertical and broad jumps Players jump straight up or straight forward without using a first step for momentum. These jumps accurately display a prospect's explosiveness, which is relevant not only for receivers and defensive backs for jump balls, but also by offensive and defensive linemen to move or gain leverage against their opponents. 20-yard shuttle In the "short shuttle," players straddle a yard line, run five yards in one direction, then 10 yards in the other direction, then five yards back to their original starting position. They must touch the ground at each stop except the last.

Combine Drills

40-yard dash The most famous and the most publicized of these drills, the 40-yard dash shows sustained speed over a distance. However, the "40" might be even more important for some positions when looking at the 10-yard and 20-yard splits. The splits are good indicators of a quick first step, something every coach wants to see in all his players. Bench press Bench press repetitions of 225 are the standard. This is more than just an exercise for the biggest and strongest linemen. Most all players need upper body strength to excel. Even those at the "finesse" positions, such as wide receiver, use their arms and shoulders to release from, or shield, their opponents.

Warrenton, VA – Old Town Athletic Club has endorsed Nick Schrank after his on-field

performance down in Miami at the NAFL All-Star Game, winning the East Coast MVP.

The Summer League Semi-Pro team, The VA

Crimson Cardinals, selected Nick as a representative of the NAFL Eastern Division. His performance at

Outside Linebacker for the Cardinals this past 2009 summer season proved to be honorary of

recommendation for the All-Star list.

Nick Schrank started at Outside Linebacker playing with teammates from all over Virginia’s top football

programs. Free Safety, Jermaine Hardy, a University of Virginia alumnus, was drafted in 2005 to the Arizona Cardinals, and defensive back, JeRome

Mann, a nationally ranked corner from St. Paul’s, received high draft stock in the 2009 NFL Draft. As Schrank was associated with such talented players,

the validity of his athletic talent was affirmed with the selection to the 1st Team All-Star list for the NAFL.

Old Town Athletic Club is sponsoring Nick Schrank as he continues his ultimate pursuit of an NFL contract.

Through his training with Parisi Speed School at OTAC, his athletic conditioning has made it possible for him to pursue such an astounding dream. Nick

has been fully sponsored in his training with The Parisi Speed School as well as partial sponsorship

with travel such as the Miami All-Star Game.
