The 13th Annual WFCA Combine was held over the weekend, and full results are now available. The Combine was split into five sessions, though all athletes were tested on the same events. All events were held at NX Level Fitness in Waukesha. A total of 472 athletes competed in the Combine.

The WFCA Combine was conducted by NX Level staff with many high school football coaches assisting, and sponsored by the WFCA, NX Level, Epoch Recruiting, and Bound Wisconsin. Special thank you to WFCA Combine Director Tony Biolo for organizing the event and compiling the results and the crew at NX Level for administering the testing throughout the day. A huge shoutout to the many high school coaches who worked at the Combine.

All timing was done by the professionals from NX Level via hand-timing. Height and weight were measured in bare feet.

At least 111 college coaches were on hand from at least 32 different schools, with most programs sending multiple coaches to evaluate potential prospects. While D1-FBS coaches were prohibited from attending by NCAA rules, 13 D1-FCS coaches from seven different schools were in attendance and closely monitoring the action. The full list of colleges in attendance is available below.

Short Shuttle

The short shuttle or pro agility is another outstanding change-of-direction test, with athletes starting from a stop, running five yards in one direction, ten yards the other direction, and five yards back to the center. College coaches lined up around the testing locations all day, as it is one of the most beneficial events for seeing how players move, bend, and control their bodies.

In the Shuttle event, the top time went to Stevens Point 2027 quarterback Trent Breitbach again, with a time of 4.07 seconds. De Pere 2027 defensive back Liam Fieber was next at 4.09 while West De Pere 2027 running back Kainan Strong posted 4.12.
