Sports Lab Athlete: Tate Forcier

Tate has been training with Sports Lab for years, and is reaping the rewards.

It's a deep and talented year for quarterbacks out West and over a two day period, we had a chance to see just about every top signal caller in the region. One player who really stood out was San Diego (Calif.) Scripps Ranch signal caller Tate Forcier.


Forcier, 6-1, 185 pounds brings a lot to the table and it's easy to see why he's sitting on 30+ offers at this time. The quarterback had very good workouts at the Elite 11 regional camp at Cal and the NIKE Camp at Stanford the following day.

In terms of physical tools, there may not be three or four quarterbacks nationally with a better skill set than Forcier. He showed off a cannon for an arm and had arguably the most life on his ball over the weekend. Forcier had the quickest drop, the quickest release and threw the tightest ball of the weekend as well.

He was also one of the most accurate winning the Golden Gun accuracy challenge at Cal on Friday. Forcier is very athletic, moves around the pocket with ease and throws on the run or rolling out as good as anyone we've seen.

From a physical standpoint, the only thing Forcier may lack is the ideal size some colleges are looking for but it's obviously not affecting his recruitment much with amont of he's holding offers and his overall athletic package is one that you just can't overlook.

On the recruiting front, Forcier said he's still wide open among the schools that are recruiting him and has no favorite schools at the moment.

Sports Lab Athlete: Max Hooper

Max Hooper is a talented up-and-comer garnering some national attention from colleges, and he trains with Marv Marinovich's Sports Lab. Check out this write-up at Rivals.com:

Hooper plays in one of the best leagues in the country (WCAL) and set a record in the 14 league games he played this season, hitting 46 three-pointers, topping the previous five year old record of 36.
--------
So not only is he working hard to prove himself as the top shooter in the state of California, but he's also proving himself as one of the top student-athletes not only in the state, but perhaps in the country.
--------
There's no doubt that Max Hooper is one of the state of California's players to watch in the coming months.

Great write-up Max! Keep up the good work, we'll be seeing a lot more of you!

SportsLab on the NFL Network!

The NFL Network had a great piece on Tuesday about Troy Polamalu's training at Sports Lab. Still not sure that Marv and the crew are training athletes on a whole new level? This video might be what it takes to convince you.
