Tennessee Play Maker: Kyle Coombes
by. Correspondent Jason Wright – TN High School SportsCenter
Coaches love players like Kyle Coombes. I watched the first three plays of his highlight film and knew as a former coach that I would want Kyle on my team. He is always moving forward with his head up, has an ability to find the ball, and runs through the person carrying it. There is nothing passive about his style of play. You can tell the other players feed off him and his emotion. He is strong, he is smart, and Kyle Coombes is a Play Maker!
