The Rivals Combines are free football combines that will measure high school athletes in five key drills: 40-yard dash, shuttle run, 3-cone drill, vertical jump and broad jump. Top performers in the combine will have an opportunity to earn an invitation to a Rivals Camp.
Players attending Rivals Camps will receive instruction from top former NFL and college players and coaches and test their abilities against top high school athletes from each region. Rivals Camps have helped launch the careers of top college football players including Trevor Lawrence (Clemson), Justin Fields (Ohio State), Amon-Ra St. Brown (USC), and Kardell Thomas (LSU).
All camp and combine participants will receive an online profile on Rivals.com, as well as a free recruiting profile on ncsasports.org, where players can connect with the more than 7,600 NCAA, NAIA and junior college football coaches in NCSA's national recruiting network. Participating athletes will also have access to NCSA's extensive database of free recruiting tools and information.

Rivals revolutionized recruiting analysis as the first organization to provide innovative features like national player rankings, online video highlights, a searchable player profile database, official visit lists, and much more.
