CEO/Founder: Jimmy Kibble Jimmy has experienced every level of competitive sports. Initially a soccer standout, he learned the game while residing in Madrid, Spain, and returned to the US where he became an Olympic Development State Team (VA) player. A four year starter on both the soccer and football high school team, Jimmy went on to a full athletic scholarship at Virginia Tech. Playing for Frank Beamer as a punter and kickoff specialist, five bowl rings and a National championship title game (2000) resulted in Jimmy signing with the N.E. Patriots.

In 2005 Jimmy signed with the NFLE Cologne Centurions and later the same year was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles where he played the preseason behind Eagles Kicker David Akers.

His accomplishments lead to his selection to the All Fairfax County Team as well as being named a starter in the Super 44 All Star Game, which matches up the best talent from Northern Virginia and Mary-land. Dan then went on to have a distinguished career at Division III, Catholic University. During his freshmen year, Evans started 11 games was named Rookie of Year and helped lead the Cardinals to a 9-2 record and a Top ten national ranking.

BSN Showcase Preview: DJ Baiza

Tue at 4:34 PM - posted by sobrien

A renaissance man is defined as one with many talents or interests. This is a fitting description of McMurry’s multi-skilled cornerback, DJ Baiza. He has risen above his competitors in baseball, basketball and football as well as academics. On top of that, he is just an ultra-motivated p...

BSN Showcase Preview: CJ Carroll

Mon at 4:58 AM - posted by sobrien

2012 BSN All-American and former Albion Briton CJ Carroll is a player confi-dent in his abilities on and off the field, and is a pretty humble guy with as much talent as he possesses. While most fear change, Carroll almost welcomes it and thrives off of it as evidenced by his senior season. ...

BSN Showcase Preview: Terrance Osborne

March 2 - posted by sobrien

If there’s one thing Terrance Osborne knows well, it is to have faith. Born the son of a pastor, Terrance has plenty of faith in God and his family, and is now at a stage where he has complete faith in his abilities on the football field. Os-borne grew up in northern New Jersey for the...

BSN Showcase Preview: Dwayne Hollis

February 28 - posted by sobrien

The other day, Alabama head coach Nick Saban said there are three kinds of people- those who learn by words, those who learn by consequences and those who simply cannot learn. Fortunately for North Carolina-Wesleyan and football lovers everywhere, cornerback Dwayne Hollis learned - even if it wasn&r...

BSN Showcase Preview: Ben Pister

February 27 - posted by sobrien

For a player who has loads of talent and many prestigious accolades, Ben Pister is just a guy who sees himself as relaxed and laid back. When he’s on the field though, he is anything but relaxed. The mountain-sized defensive end out of Missouri West-ern was raised by Ron and Terri Pist...

BSN Showcase Preview: Brett Frydendall

February 25 - posted by sobrien

Humboldt State offensive lineman Brett Frydendall has a name that gives some peo-ple trouble saying or spelling it. Most of the time, his name is shortened to just “Fry”. Brett has been playing sports ever since he was a little kid growing up in Co-rona, California. Whether it was ba...

BSN Showcase Preview: John Lavelle

February 22 - posted by sobrien

A lot of players I talk to are from small towns looking to make it to the bigger stage of a professional league to continue pursuing their dream. John Lavelle is from Philadel-phia, Pennsylvania – a far cry from a small town. That does not mean it makes his pursuit any different. ...

BSN Showcase Preview: Sherman Carter

February 21 - posted by sobrien

The first thing you notice when you see Tennessee State’s Sherman Carter is his size. At six foot three, three hundred pounds, Carter is not likely to win many games of hide and seek. The second thing you notice is how genuinely nice he is. Although a lot of defenders who have been exposed to ...

Trevor Robinson: More Than Meets the Eye

February 20 - posted by sobrien

When you watch Central Methodist star defensive end Trevor Robinson on film, you initially see a player hungry to make a play. He’s quick and powerful, and he exerts his will against the defense. When you look closer and get beneath the helmet and talk to him, you find out he’s not only ...

BSN Showcase Preview: Jesse Hall

February 19 - posted by sobrien

When I think of Cumberland offensive lineman Jesse Hall, the first word that comes to mind is “simple”. Simple is not a bad thing by any means. With Jesse, there’s not a lot of drama. Just a kid from a small town playing the game he loves (very well I might add) with the support of...
