School: Carlsbad, Calif.

First-Up: Adam Tenney

Position: Cornerback/Running back.

Size and Speed: Adam stands 6-foot-3, weighs in at 190 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds.

Favorite Schools: Adam is a super student with a 3.7 GPA. The schools that are showing interest is Adam are the great academic institutions like Stanford, Northwestern and Ivy League schools.

The Skinny: Adam has great feet for a tall kid. He’s a rangy and lean framed young man who looks like he will get bigger and stronger. Adam is a terrific all-around athlete who helped his team as a cornerback, multi-purpose running back and he even handled the place-kicking chores as a junior.
