Wisconsin Football Coaches Association

The 12th 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 507 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 WisSports.net. Special thank you to WFCA Combine Director Tony Biolo for organizing the event and compiling the results and Brad Arnett & 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 90 college coaches were on hand from at least 29 different schools, with several programs sending multiple coaches to evaluate potential prospects. While D1-FBS coaches were prohibited from attending by NCAA rules, 11 D1-FCS coaches from five different schools were in attendance and closely monitoring the action. The full list of colleges in attendance is available below.

40-YARD DASH

There were some blistering times posted in the 40-yard dash Saturday afternoon, which was done via hand-timing by the professionals from NX Level.

The fastest 40-yard dash time was posted by 2026 Whitnall running back Isaiah Morehouse at 4.44 seconds. Next on the list was Marquette 2026 running back Tommy Novotny, who was extremely impressive with a time of 4.45 seconds.

A total of 25 athletes ran the 40-yard dash in less than 4.60 seconds. The heaviest player of the group was Waunakee 2026 linebacker McCoy Smith, who posted a time of 4.57 seconds while weighing in at 208 pounds while standing 5'10" in bare feet. Neenah 2026 defensive lineman Nate Kramp (4.59, 6'0", 207 pounds) and Middleton's Jackson were also at least 200 pounds with a 40-second time of at least 4.60 seconds.

L-Drill

The L-Drill was again a part of the Combine, with many college coaches paying close attention to the event, which is a great measure of body lean, hip flexibility, and change-of-direction skills. A standout in all of the events, the top time was set by Marquette standout 2026 running back Tommy Novotny, who blazed to a 6.50-second time. That sets a new record in the 12-year history of the WFCA Combine.

Next up was Franklin 2027 running back Dillon Herling, who ran a time of 6.75 seconds. All told, 11 players posted times below seven seconds.

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 Slinger 2026 running back Kobe Hendricks with a time of 4.03 seconds. That ties for third with the fastest shuttle time ever at the WFCA Combine. Lake Mills 2027 wide receiver Dylan Brinckmann was next at 4.12 while Franklin 2027 running back Dillon Herling posted 4.13.
