The Sharp Performance Free Combine was held in the warm confines of the Salina Fieldhouse on a cold March morning this past Saturday. The facility in downtown Salina played host to a number of talented athletes from across the state looking to cement their names in the minds of college recruiters, and was again held for free thanks to the generous support of sponsors like Salina Regional Sports Medicine, providing patients a "home-field advantage."

Minneapolis native and 2015 MHS graduate John Kelly is in line to become the next Director of Football Operations at the University of Oklahoma. After becoming one of the more tenured members of OU’s staff in the wake of head coach Lincoln Riley’s departure for USC in late November, the 25-year old was offered the DFO position in December.

The significance of earning a position as Director of Football Operations for a major university is often the culmination of many professional careers, meaning Kelly’s age makes the hiring all the more impressive.
