ESPN RISE, in conjunction with Nike, has released its tour schedule for the 2010 Nike Football Combine, the nation's premier high school athletic testing event. This year’s tour will include 17 premier events across the continental U.S. and in Hawaii. ESPN RISE will host Nike Football Combines in Honolulu, Houston and Massillon, Ohio for the first time in the event’s history.

Nike Football Combines are free and open to Class of 2011 high school football players, as well as to top underclassmen looking to showcase their football skills. Alumni of the combines include Andre Johnson, Haloti Ngata, Larry Fitzgerald and hundreds more. Free online registration is available at ESPNRISE.com.

“We are excited to introduce our Nike Football Combines to high school football players in three new markets this year,” said Andy Bark, vice president, Events, ESPN RISE. “Providing high school football players with free, expert and unbiased athletic measurement and an opportunity to showcase their abilities is an invaluable experience for players that aspire to play on the next level.”
