JK Dobbins, 2017 Ohio State running back commit, was named the 2016 Nike+ Football Ratings Champion at Nike's The Opening this weekend, posting a final score of 146.76.
The Nike test is designed to measure how speedy, powerful, agile, responsive and quick (SPARQ) athletes are for their size. The components of the test include the 40-yard dash, the vertical jump, the 5-10-5 shuttle run, and the kneeling powerball toss. The results of all of these tests are combined into one score which essentially measures a player's overall athleticism. The higher the rating, the better the athlete.
