Lake Michigan Football Report 
Is this combine the same as the combine recently in Grand Rapids?
It’s a little different. We do some different testing (i.e., bench press) and some different drills because of the facilities & space. Thirlby Field is a really great place to host this event.
What does the bench press consist of? 225 reps, 185 reps?
We will have both stations set up. Players can pick which station to do. They also have the option not to test.
Will there be a an offense standout page the same at the offense line and defense
Do you know what colleges might or is going to be there ?
Coaches from Grand Valley State University, Ferris State University, Saginaw Valley State University, Northern Michigan, Northwood University, Siena Heights, Concordia, Hope College, Hillsdale College, and more have attended our past events and recruited many event participants.
Is there a certain weight that’s required for the bench press
Players have the choice to complete reps at 185lbs or 225lbs. The test is not required, so players who cannot lift those weights or who cannot complete the test for other reasons will not be penalized.
is the combine still going on its poring rain out?
Rain or shine! Players don’t take the field until 6.
Are one on ones hitting drills? Because im coming off a acl tear and I dont want to risk tearing it again. And would I tell coaches that because it will affect my 40.
Please make sure that you are cleared by your doctor before competing at our event. We do our best to maintain a safe environment by allowing players to only participate in the drills or tests that they are physically able to do. We have had players with recently cleared injuries participate before, but they (along with their doctor or trainer) ultimately need to be responsible for determining their level of participation.
